Thought I might use this to introduce a friend to sequencing/music production. He's on a PC. The other DAWs just have too many options for him (He gets overwhelmed easily)... Then I remembered this one. He seemed to respond well to its sparse look, and the price is right...
Anyone using the current version?

yup, i use XT. it's great for a beginner, but v3 isn't particularly stable on Win10 here. There are a few plugins which it doesn't tolerate well n then crashes...enough to put any beginner off! I'd actually recommend looking at MuLab 7 which is performing much better on my system, it's free with a track-count limitation but otherwise fully functional, high quality MUX synth/sampler/effects/modular environment included...a lot more "relate-to-able" than eXT's phase-distortion synth...unless your friend is a CASIO fan.
Download the demo n check it out. If MuLab doesn't work for you then go for eXT.

Tracktion 5 is a free one ... https://www.tracktion.com/products/t5-daw , it don't have warp time but quite good intro DAW otherwise

please keep in mind that noone knows what Jorgen (developer of xt) will do next! xt is close to abandonware - development is sloooow and unpredictable. if you want/need to invest money look elsewhere!!!flugel45 wrote:...and the price is right...

Another bump for MuLab, excellent beginner DAW.
This entire forum is wading through predictions, opinions, barely formed thoughts, drama, and whining. If you don't enjoy that, why are you here? ShawnG

Actually i am pretty sure he announced at some point that it was now shareware licence, its dead, it was never as good as the original xt, that thing would have been a total beast now, if he hadn't dumped it for this super basic bug fest.dermichl wrote:please keep in mind that noone knows what Jorgen (developer of xt) will do next! xt is close to abandonware - development is sloooow and unpredictable. if you want/need to invest money look elsewhere!!!flugel45 wrote:...and the price is right...

Is EnergyXT v3.0 no longer in beta, and the final version released?
No info in KVR news ticker, and I am not certain if buying v3.0 at the dev site gives access to the beta or the final release version?
BTW, are there any rebates for owners of v2 to upgrade to v3 ?

Yes, 3.0 was released as final: http://www.energy-xt.com/index.php?id=0108Numanoid wrote:Is EnergyXT v3.0 no longer in beta, and the final version released?

And it's a free update for registered users (so it will work with your v2 license).
So you can either update your v2 installation directly: http://www.energy-xt.com/index.php?id=0202
Or use the full 3.0 installer and activate it with your v2 license key file (xt.lck): http://www.energy-xt.com/index.php?id=0201
As a side note: you'll find more info in general in the EnergyXT subforum: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=36
