In what it proclaims as its largest multiple product launch to date, Tracktion Corporation has released the DAW Essentials Collection, a suite of 16 effects plugins compatible with all professional level digital audio workstation applications.
The $99 Essential Collection plugins allow extensive manipulation of the most expressive parameters for each effect.
While some top DAW’s offer plugins of similar quality, they are captive to those applications. The Essential Collection can move from one DAW to another allowing the complete sound of a recording to move as well.
“You want to be able to jump around from one host to another when working creatively,” explained Tracktion’s James Woodburn. “It’s no good to have your plugins stuck on the wrong DAW as you change platforms to move between composition, production and live performance.”
The Essentials Collection, as well as the BioTek Organic Synthesizer, Tracktion 7 DAW and more are available to try or buy on the tracktion.com website. All are also available from a growing list of premium retailers such as Sweetwater.com.
