                                      What is n-Track Studio?

n-Track Studio is an inexpensive, intuitive, full-featured digital audio workstation (DAW) for Windows PC.

It features:

• Audio in all popular WAV file formats except 8-bit, as well as Ogg Vorbis
• MIDI (with piano-roll editor)
• DX/DXi/VST/VSTi plugins
• cut-paste editing
• ASIO, WDM, and MME audio interfaces
• robust set of built-in effects (compressor, MB-compressor, parametric EQ, reverb, auto-vol, pitch shift, echo, chorus, and tempo delay)
• spectrum analyzer
• LIVE mode for hearing FX while recording
• multiple soundcards
• surround mixing
• automation of volume, pan, aux sends & returns, and plugin FX parameters
• ReWire

Cost at this time (Nov 2005) is $49, or $75 to use 24-bit audio interfaces. The $49 version will handle 24-bit files and do 24-bit mixdowns; it just won't handle running soundcard interfaces in 24-bit mode. It's shareware -- unregistered mode has a reminder popup and inserts tones every 30 seconds when mixing down to a single wave file.
