We've acquired Babelson Audio's Plugin Catalog

We're honored to announce that Mackie has acquired Babelson Audio's catalog of highly-acclaimed processing plugins!

Mackie has a long history of developing and integrating effects in products, from analog mixers to powered loudspeakers, and everything in between. This acquisition allows us to provide solutions for customers using DAW software, but just as importantly, it deepens our bench for hardware-based processing in future products.

Pretty good actually. 
Abyss and Novum are two of the best synths in recent times and Waveform has some pretty unique trump cards. 

That was recent history, after Tracktion broke free from Mackie's clutches, where they were unfortunately left nearly abandoned for 5 years...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracktion_Waveform

Tracktion was developed by independent UK designer/programmer Julian Storer, and released in 2002 by UK-based Raw Material Software. US-based Mackie is a division of LOUD Technologies specializing in studio recording and live sound products. It took over the distribution of Tracktion in 2003. It was sold in standalone, boxed retail versions and bundled with Mackie, Tapco, and Echo Audio computer-audio interfaces and digital-capable mixing boards.

Although no official word came from Mackie, the user's understanding was that Tracktion had been discontinued as the company issued no updates, communication, or announcements on it since January 2008. However, at the January 2013 NAMM show, Tracktion's original developer Julian Storer announced he had reacquired control of the software and would continue developing Tracktion with his new Tracktion Software Company.
