Well, I have played for few hours with it and I find it really great!
I'm not a new, so this might affected my opinion. Anyway, it seems it scans only the 32bit plugins (which is fine by me) I downloaded the 64bit version from my account there. The plugins that stopped the scanning are: Waldorf Attack (but PPG Wave 2.3 is working fine!), Arturia SEM V2 and ARP 2600 V3 (I only have those now) and Korg MDE-X effects (those are always problematic not only here).
I tried the VST3 and ARP 2600 V3 appeared and I could play the first preset but when I click the next, the sound disappears! So, I got rid of all the VST3 (Only VST2 now). Strangely that all Waves plugs and synths are working great!
So, in the end it seems really a good host. Stable here in Windows 10 64bit and the cpu usage is really low! But I haven't used it for long time yet. I already like the old workflow of Tracktion 1.6, so I find it even better now! It has many features for midi. I liked a lot the sequence clip. I believe it is an elegant, inviting to use DAW and I will definitely upgrade to version 7 after few days maybe.
I just wish that the developer concentrates on the DAW development and enhancing the workflow/functions more and more (maybe adding like the Clip Launcher in Bitwig, which I know it is a very hard work, but it worth it IMO). This is more important than the loops/3rd party plugins I believe.
I don't know if version 5 supports multi cores. Is version 7 supporting it?

Also the step sequencerclip , does not audition notes.
This is even present in the tracktion 7demo .
Setting a clip to loop , in order to change youll have to go back to the first parent clip ,
This whole gui /layout is so counter intuitive, ffs ...just wanted to try a different daw just for fun ( and it' free ) ,
Hell no .
After almost 10 years of using renoise , almost every other daw feels so slow to use ,including tracktion
My 2 cent

Try to login in your account in their website. If everything is fine there and you could see Tracktion 5 registered, then try to unlock the software (keep trying till you unlock it) then save and quit. Restart your PC and it would work normally.gentleclockdivider wrote:Is anyone able to unlock it yet ?

I haven't check, there might be offline license in your account.

problem is , while creating an acount I accidentally made an error , I wrote @ gmali instead of @gmail .
The server did not give an error message while typig the faulty email adress ,now trying to fix the problem by creating a new acount ..with the same user name, but corrected email adres.
Server now says : 'acount is already in existence' ( the one withthe faulty adres )
There's nothing in my account , seems that the mail wasn't received because of the faulty adres .
Sigh, I think I totally messed up ..I give up

I was able to download and register pretty easily online. It seems odd though that I was a user of T4 (free) and had to create an account for that - but could not log into my account in order to 'upgrade' to T5 free.
It is crashing a constantly as it tries to scan the plug-in folders...does anyone know if the upgrade to T7 offer remains in effect for people that have registered T5 free by midnight 7/26?

I used my (very) old account details for the T5-free download page. No need to create another account.
The crashes are probably a dodgy plug-in - can you see how far the scan gets?
Regarding the T7 upgrade:

Regarding the T7 upgrade:
And, to top off this weekend’s cash saving goodies, we’re opening the full range of T7 upgrade options to anyone who has previously registered a Tracktion product - even the FREE ones. For details on the various T7 packages, see the descriptions below the DAW comparison chart. [Upgrade offer access returns to T5 and T6 on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 PST]

T5 got an 8 out of 10 rating by musicradar (Computer Music/Future Music) two years ago.
http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/ ... n-5-599366
I don't see Tracktion advertise with them, so the rating is down to the quality of the software

I actually like v5 style more than v7. The multi colours is what made Traction having a unique style (with the so many themes back then). So I really hope that future versions will have similar freedom to customize the coulors
Both v5 and v7 were stable with me but I kept v5. I'll escape v7 and see what's come next (v7.5 or v8!).
