Yes, AFAIK Tracktion is a Mackie product and only free for a limited
time (however the fact that it's been distributed for free seems to
suggest a free binary for linux would not be out of the question).

I'm of the opinion that choice is good, therefore having another quality
(and widely used/supported) DAW would be great for linux.

Also, once JUICE is ported, that will provide another great resource for
future linux audio development.

Finally, the fact that this project is affiliated with Mackie, a HUGE
name in the "industry" could work greatly to the benefit if linux/audio.
I mean if we could get a linux port of Traction on mackie ftp servers?
Well, people would take notice.

I'm interested (though code/coding skill deficient).
