MixCraft Bugs, Crashes and Freezes

Here is a list of bugs Mixcraft claims to have fixed. What kind of a company would sell the public a piece of software without adequately testing it? Answer: Acoustica

Are these bugs really fixed? Are there other bugs that they can't or won't fix? You know the old saying, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." I have a saying of my own that Acoustica needs to hear. If it ain't fixed don't sell it!

UPDATE: Mixcraft is vastly improved. Acoustica is now producing good products. Hopefully when Mixcraft 7 comes out it will be bug free. I Would suggest, auditioning Mixcraft 7. I think you will like it.
