Tracktion 4 Reference Manual
193
The Modular Approach
If you would rather keep everything in one place then you can wrap the entire of the arrangement
shown in Figure 9.5.2 in a single rack. This allows you to use only one track, but keep the exibility of-
fered by spreading the VSTi across a number of tracks.
To get started, create a new rack lter, and name it after your VSTi. Drag the “new lter” icon onto
the rack canvas, and select your VSTi from the lter list. You will be asked if you want Tracktion to auto-
connect the lter. Answer “no” to this question.
Once you have you VSTi in place you can begin introducing and connecting the various lters need-
ed to create a complete sub-mix inside the rack (Fig. 9.5.3).
Although it may not look like it at rst, this is the entire lter section of Figure 9.5.2 contained in one
rack. One big advantage of this approach is that this rack can be saved as a pre-set, and recalled with
just a few mouse clicks for use in other projects.
Final Words, And Some Useful On-Line Resources
Much as we’ve tried to ensure this manual is as clear and complete as possible, we know there will
sometimes be things that don’t make sense, or aren’t completely applicable to your specic circum-
stances. Fortunately, many great resources can be found on-line. These resources range from general
recording and mixing guides and forums, to Tracktion specic communities and support groups.
Two Tracktion related forums that merit particular mention are:
The Tracktion Support forum:
http://www.tracktion.com/forum
The Raw Material Software forum, which provides support for all Raw Material Software products, but is
also home to a large, and friendly Tracktion user group:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=22
In addition, you will also nd links to countless free and commercial software instruments and effects
throughout the KvR Audio site:

This concludes the Tracktion Reference Manual. All then that is left to say at this point is that we hope
you enjoy using Tracktion as much as we enjoyed creating it.
