Free guitar recording software

[fr0sty]

Never heard of Traction before, but they are now giving it away for free.
It's from Mackie, so it should be decent. I dl'd it last night and only monkeyed with it for a couple of minutes.

Do you have to be a Guitar Player magazine subscriber to download that?

Nope

Cool! It's for the Mac too! The Mac already has recording software (GarageBand), but I wanted to tryout something else too. Thanks for the link.

I opened the "TRACKTION" program- clicked the ABOUT button-
clicked "Unlock this copy using a keyfile-
found the file I saved, -Opened- And it says
"sorry-this unlock code isn't valid for this computer.

I had to request another authorization after I got the machine number.

Re: Free guitar recording software

Anyone running it know where I might find a decent distortion or overdrive plugin that doesn't create a ton of background noise?

Re: Free guitar recording software

Thanks for sharing! I'm downloading it right now.

There used to be a free version of ProTools for Windows available as well, not sure if they still offer a free vs or not, but it's worth checking out for those of you into that sort of thing.

Re: Free guitar recording software

The problem with the freebee ProTools is that it only runs on Win '98 last I checked. Win '98 on my PC is LONG gone!

Re: Free guitar recording software

Oh yeh, I do recall something about that...

Sorry for that!

I've been doing some research today, and you might want to check out this site: www.kvr-vst.com

There's a forum dedicated to Tracktion, and, in the upper right-hand corner of the page, links to several VST plugins. I'm still trying a few, so no reccomendations yet, but there are lots of links. (Possibly try 'Guitar Suite'...has JCM900, Boss DS-1/SD-1 & Tube Screamer plugins...nothing to heavy, but certainly useable.)

maybe put the file in the Tracktion folder itself. i've had to do that with other programs before...just a thought.
