wine users - Dec 2004 - Tracktion

This is being offered gratis till the end of december by Mackie. This one 
might just be coaxed into running under Wine which would be quite an 
achievement.

Kudos: 1. The program, though free, needs be registered to a "machine
number".
Did this under Windows, did not get that far using Wine. Might need a second 
copy just for the Linux runs.

2. The program searches for all its own VST dlls and any on the VST directory. 
Might have problems doing this in Wine. Some VST demos bring up an error box 
saying please register, limited trial, etc. Such things may be disruptive in 
Wine. (Other VST hosts let you manually find them when you want them, 
avoiding this problem in most cases)

Anyway, the thing appeared to hang up but I was able to get out. No crash, no 
bebug offer. Clean.

The main problem is that any UI pop-up, i.e. to choose files, etc., does not 
come up visibly. This is the apparent hangup. Alt-F4 dismisses the invisible 
dialog box.

It audio output device is listed as "direct sound" (under Windows, the
card's
ASIO drivers would be listed).

But .. one would not get anywhere near this far with Sonar.

I tried installing it under the newest version of WineX  - Cedega 4.2.
It went badly. All sorts of error messages while installing, finishing
with a message that it couldn't be installed and RichEdit out of space
messages.

I tired running it. An initial window came up and I was then greeted
with lots of snaps and crackles, but no real application. I had to
Ctrl-C it and then kill off wineserver instances still running.

Not successful here.

I mean "poor".
I am sorry for my "fast" english. :-]
