I would like to see all the bugs gone from T-Racks and I would like to see the MacOS9 behaviour of the old "snap" function back - instead of "copy setting" ABCD.
Bugs T-Racks 3.5.1 standalone :
When having multiple songs in one project it confuses the ABCD settings amongst diferent songs. One cannot use those settings and trust what's happening.
- the save ABCD settings is something super important to do great work on a daily basis.
the old "snap" function on the original T-Racks 1.0 and 2.0 24 on Mac OS 9 were far superior to whatever came after !!!!
The new "copy to" ABCD function just doesn't make sense BECAUSE in a natural workflow you always forget to first make a copy before changing
something. It was much better to "snap" a setting and then after changing something leaving the last "snap" how it was and making a new one. This was how it worked on the first versions on Mac OS 9 - AND IT WAS PERFECT. On OSX (t-racks 24) one could not delete the snaps with "option-click" anymore and that was very bad. Plus the new version SAVE ABCD is completely buggy !!! If you have more than one song in one project and save A to B in song number 1, you will have
changed even the A (also BCD) settings in song 2 and 3 also - THIS IS A BIG NO NO - NO WAY !!!!
So for now I save a single project for every single song. - I can do that, but - still the SAVE button should be replaced by the old SNAP behavior.
And setting A should stay A and if I change something I should snap to B - and A stays A as long as I don't snap a new A.... EASY.
It was perfect for a human -natural workflow on the versions on Mac OS 9. Please go back to that kind of logical and far more comfortable behavior.
PLUS .... I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO APPLY A VOLUME CURVE TO THE MIX THAT IS LOADED. THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE AN EXTRA POP UP WINDOW, BECAUSE ONE NEEDS A LARGE VIEW. APPLYING A VOLUME CURVE TO A MIX IS CRUCIAL FOR MAKING A GOOD MASTER.
One more thing .... I would love projects to open correctly even after moving them to a different location or another drive. Also that was no problem on old T-Racks versions. As long as the .trx file and the assigned audio material were in the same folder "they would find each other" ... Now the complete file location has to be correct for project files to find Audio material - VERY unnerving for archiving mastering projects on external drives !!!
So my main critic has to do with work flow issues - If I wasn't happy with the modules and my mastering results - obviously I wouldn't bother
I have used T-Racks stand alone versions for professional mastering projects in over a decade ... a ton of albums
