I first started recording my guitar playing almost as soon as I
learned to play the G, C, and D major chords that everyone discovers
as a beginner. At that time, my biggest problem wasn't changing
chords, it was playing in time. I usually practiced with a
metronome, but that quickly got boring. So I went on a mission to
add some recording capability to my rig in order to practice my
timing with a drum track. I really wanted to hear how I sounded so I
could determine what to practice next.

My quest first started with a small compact flash based 4-track unit
and eventually progressed into full-blown computer based recording.
During this journey I have tried a variety of music production
software solutions, but each of the products had critical
limitations related to audio fidelity, export options, sound effects
and filters, MIDI-capability, loop generation and editing, or user
interface. In fact, I didn't find what I was looking for until it
found me! Mackie sent me a version of Tracktion 2.0 a couple months
ago and I never opened it expecting more of the same. Boy was I
proven wrong…I can truly say that Mackie Traction 2.0 is serious
recording software designed with musicians in mind!
