Tracktion 3 Ultimate Bundle is one of the fastest ways to get started producing professional music on Mac or PC. The streamlined audio and MIDI recording, mixing, editing and mastering are all handled via a clutter-free, single-screen user interface that keeps the music flowing. With no limits on track counts, virtual instruments, and plug-ins, you're only limited by your computer's capabilities. Boasting a high-definition 64-bit/192kHz mix engine, Loop Browser, and over 150 new features and enhancements, the Tracktion 3 Ultimate Bundle gives you the tools to fulfill your musical destiny!

Mackie Tracktion 3 Ultimage Bundle Audio and MIDI Production Software at a Glance:

A powerful composing and recording tool
Quicktime video and ReWire support
Easy, flexible editing and mixing, incredible plug-ins

Powerful composing and recording capabilities
Tracktion 3 gives you a full arsenal of composition and recording tools, such as the time-saving Loop Browser, multiple-pass loop recording, streamlined MIDI editor, tons of virtual instruments, time stretch/pitch shift, and an unlimited track count so you can go wherever your inspiration takes you. An intuitive single-screen interface puts everything where you can easily get to it, and Safe Record guarantees there won't be any untentional wipeouts. Tracktion 3's 64-bit/192kHz-capable mix engine gives you high-definition sound with great headroom for pro-level results.

ReWire and Quicktime video support
Tracktion 3 includes full ReWire 2.0 support, allowing you to integrate it with other applications. Stream audio and MIDI from linked programs through Tracktion 3 for even more functionality. For those composing music for video applications, Tracktion 3 supports Quicktime video playback. You can simply select a movie and start tracking - and Quicktime and Tracktion 3 are cross-platform compatible, making it as easy to share video projects as it is to swap audio.

Editing made easy
Once tracks have been imported or recorded, Tracktion 3 presents them as easily manipulated audio clips. The MIDI editor function is also clear, easy to use, and powerful. Updates such as Folder Tracks, Collection Clips, and a handy Marker Track give you even more control than before over clips. Mix automation is a snap, and rack filter and track freezing functions allow for a streamlined mixing process that won't choke your CPU. An amazing range of effects plug-ins included with Tracktion 3 ranges from dynamics to reverb to modulation and more, and Tracktion 3 supports third-party VST and VSTi plug-ins.

Features

RECORDING

Single Screen Interface

Uses a signal-flow paradigm for everything - inputs are on the left side of the screen - audio and MIDI clips are in the middle - effects and outputs are on the right

To record, the user has to simply drag the audio or MIDI instrument icon to a track and hit record

An "assign all inputs to consecutive tracks" function allows for recording from multiple inputs simultaneously

Unlimited Track Count

No predetermined limits on the number of tracks that can be recorded, or the number of effects used

Software takes full advantage of dual core/dual processor CPUs

Safe Record

With the feature enabled, recording won't stop until a customizable key command is entered

Perfect for recording live shows

Loop Recording

In addition to normal recording mode and punch-in mode, Tracktion includes "Loop Record Mode" which makes it easy to record multiple passes of audio or MIDI and compile the best of each into the perfect take

64-Bit/192kHz Capable Mix Engine

A High-Definition 64-bit Math mixing option improves headroom and eliminates distortion through the summing bus

Ready for 192kHz-compatible audio interfaces

COMPOSING

Loop Browser

Loop Browser allows for pulling up a huge variety of pre-recorded music loops in a wide range of file formats, including Recycle, Apple Loops and Acid

Pre-organizes loops by "instruments", "genres" and "descriptors" (single, ensemble, part, fill, acoustic, etc.) The search can be further narrowed by "key" (major, minor, both, neither,) and finally via a "search" field for searching via keywords

Time Stretching/Pitch Shifting

Allows for radically adjusting the tempo of various loops and samples - or even user recorded tracks - without degradation

Pitch Shifting allows for using instruments and samples that were originally played in other keys into the current project

Virtual Instruments

Includes comprehensive collection of virtual instruments and sample libraries from SampleTank, DrumCore, Garritan Personal Orchestra, Native Instruments KONTAKT Player, LinPlug Alpha 3 Classic Synth and Cronox 3 Sample Synth, the RM IV Drum Addiction, and more

MIDI Editor

Features a powerful-yet-streamlined MIDI editor, optimized for speed and ease of use, whether recording from a synthesizer, or doing detailed editing of a performance with the MIDI pencil tool

ReWire

Full ReWire 2.0 support for integration with applications like Ableton Live and Reason and other ReWire-supporting software

QuickTime

Supports QuickTime video playback for scoring to movie

EDITING

Audio Clips

Once audio is recorded or imported it is presented in the arrange window as an audio clip

Clips provide tools for editing them right at the top of each clip - no more going to drop-down menus for commands, or going somewhere else on the screen to do fades

Enhancements

Folder Tracks allow hiding and showing of groups of tracks in an edit, with support for nested folders

As a practical example, the user can lower the volume or change the panning of every element in a rhythm section, without having to go in and select each individual drum and bass sound

A "Marker Track" allows display of all markers in an edit. Markers can be treated as clips, much like audio and MIDI - they can be moved around, split, stretched and edited

MIXING

Filters

In Tracktion, the term "filter" applies to any effect, native or third party plug-in, virtual instrument, or anything else.

Filters can be copied, re-arranged, and applied to individual audio clips, groups of tracks, and more

Common types of Tracktion filters include Volume/Pan, Level Meter, 4-Band EQ, Auxiliary Send and Return, Effects, plus third-party VST plug-in and virtual instruments

Effects Plug-Ins

Includes a full-suite of native effects plug-ins, ranging from dynamics to modulation, reverb and more

Also supports commercially available third party VST and VSTi plug-ins

These plug-ins are available as filters to place on any track, group of tracks, individual audio clips, on groups of audio clips, or across the entire mix

Rack Filters

Allows for the simple creation of complex instrument and effects combinations, and then to use them as a group

A rack filter can be applied to a single track or many tracks, processing them simultaneously

Mix Automation

Enabled by dragging and dropping the "A" from a track on to any filter - the user can then choose from a list of automatable parameters

Automation is user editable. By using "Automation Record", automation moves can be captured while a session plays and then edited further

Track Freeze

Renders single and multiple tracks, with all their assorted audio files, effects and instruments, to a single file. This frees up the computer's CPU for additional tasks

Control Surface Support

Offers improved support for the Mackie Control Universal/Extender Pro and Mackie Control C4 Pro controllers, providing complete hands-on control of a full range of recording and mixing parameters - including plug-ins and virtual instruments

Also supports a wide range of third-party control surfaces including the Frontier Design Tranzport and Novation ReMOTE LE
