Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Single screen interface
Everything that is needed is within easy reach, no deep diving in menus or pop up windows.
Pro Very compatible
Tracktion 5 is now compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Pro Racks
Self contained modular environment for hooking up processing chains of plugins or instruments in any way you want.
Pro Bundles with Melodyne for no cost
Melodyne is a pitch correction software that now comes free with Tracktion 5. At $60, Tracktion 5 with Melodyne costs about half as much as the standalone version of Melodyne.
Pro Multi-channel MIDI support
Multiple MIDI instruments can be recorded in different tracks at the same time.
Pro MIDI to audio feature
Traktion 5 now has a MIDI to audio function so users can quickly freeze MIDI notes and manipulate them as audio clips.
Pro Is JACK-compatible
And so it can not only use JACK for audio-output, JACK, Cadence and Carla can be used to build a DAW with almost unlimited capabilities. Of course, you need more than one project-file, you need a file for MusE and one for CARLA, but with the synths and effects you can wire in CARLA, this is no real Con.
Pro Intuitive
You don't need a manual for this, just play with it.
Cons
Con Unstable
Crashes quickly and frequently.
Con Cluttered interface, not user friendly
Con Lack of drivers for Linux
There are no official drivers for any multi-channel audio interfaces, putting Linux users at a disadvantage.
Con Very many functions, can get confusing
It has not only midi-capabilities, there are digital-audio-caps, too. And mist can be used with Keyboard-shortcuts. Some may work, others don't, cause they may be used by other apps. Can get confusing.
