- .reminds me of FT2. awesome.akrokdesign
- Yeah it was basically based on FT2, like when it first came out it was being referred to in circles as the "REAL" FT3. :)neferiu
- VST/VSTi support, full sequencing and sub-bpm sequencing, full mixer, per-channel effects.. its THE answer.neferiu
- ANSWERneferiu
- freaking sweeeeet. i just download the demo. I have to wait to try it though. :-)akrokdesign
- Thedopest thing is that the "demo" is FULLY featured, no time limit, no disabled features...neferiu
- The only thing with the demo is that it doesnt allow you to export your song as a WAV, but you can save it in the native format no prob, and 'card record' if you need.neferiu
- prob, and you can always 'record' live from the sound card or whatever.. Linux/OSX/Win. Its the shit.neferiu
- I only wanna promote it cuz im the only guy I know who uses it to make music. I want to spread the word. :Dneferiu
- hah...that's great. :-Dakrokdesign
- i used to track with TF2. been meaning to check renoise out.ephix
- You wont be disappointed. its as natural as FT2 if that what you learned with etc.neferiu

i use Soundtrack Pro, but only cause i have it anyway and i like the interface better than GarageBand. THen again, i don't use soft-synths. When i need to do MIDI i do it in GarageBand and then export an AIF. A terrible workaround? YEs, but not surprising when you find out my "interface" is an old Realistic Stereo Mixer going into the pin-plug input at the back of my computer
