major qtractor cons;)

- no tempo/key-signature map
- no score/notation editor
- no automation
- no plugin latency/delay compensation

however these are all features that will be addressed in the future
(except score/notation; that won't happen sorry:)

whether you're unsophisticated enough, you'll find qtractor quick and
dirty, mostly targeted as a prototype recorder and arranger.
