Adding Final Mix in Tracktion
The fi rst thing to do is to open up Tracktion and
open your project.
Tracktion uses the term “fi lter” to refer to a
plug-in, be it native to Tracktion, or a 3rd party
plug-in such as a VST plug-in.
To add the plug-in to your tracks, simply drag
the icon labelled “new fi lter...” located just
above the fi lter section, and drop it where you
want the new fi lter to be placed. The fi gure be-
low shows a fi lter being added to track one.
Top Right of Tracktion Screen
Notice that the area in front of the volume/pan
fi lter is glowing red; this is how you can tell
where the fi lter will be placed. If there is no illu-
mination, then you are not currently over a valid
target area.
Once the “new fi lter” icon has been dropped,
a list of available fi lters will appear, as if by
magic. Choose the fi lter you wish to add to the
track from this list. Final Mix and other exciting
plug-ins are available in the "Mackie Plugins"
folder of this drop down menu.
The fi lter order can be changed, and fi lters can
even be moved onto a new track, by simply
dragging the fi lter icons in the same way that
you fi rst added them.
