Tracktion is a digital audio workstation for recording and editing audio and MIDI.

History

First released in 2002 by UK-based Raw Material Software (it was the creation of one designer/programmer: Julian Storer), Tracktion looks and feels quite different from the many other similar-looking audio sequencers by taking a fresh, "single-screen" approach to its user interface. This brought it quite a cult following, attracting many users who had been frustrated by the leading sequencer brands because of their over-complicated approach to common tasks.

Mackie took over distribution of Tracktion in 2003 and have continued to develop and market it, building it into a product that can challenge most other sequencers in terms of its feature-set, but which still has a unique style.

The underlying C++ code that was developed to create Tracktion's graphic and audio capabilities was later split-out into an open-source library, Juce, which is still maintained and developed by Julian Storer.
