Acoustica Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 Reviews

    EZ PEEZY!

    First of,I wanna give a shout out to my home boi Scott Bennett( X1738)for being an awesome sales engineer at sweetwater and right hook ups for my musical needs. Give the Brutha a call!!

    Now as for the Mixcraft pro 7, I'm dumbfounded of its SIMPLICITY AND EASE OF USE,VERY HIGH-QUALITY SOFTWARE FOR THE MONEY!social media ready,does not require too much processing and ram for plug-ins! but it does not hurt to have lots of it. I've been a pro-tool user for ten years,v7-v9+extreme learning curves) frustrated at times and never giving up which is great but,recording your art should be fun,smooth flowing without hindrance and this does that really well. EZ PEEEZY BABY! AND FUN! And If you dig analog mixers of the past,then you'll luv this software! it has individual channel mixer set up like an analog board at bottom screen.This has more than what I'll ever need! I;m a simple guy and if your like me then you'll dig it as well...

    Anyways there's nothing bad to say at all about this product,plus the book(manual) that it came with is just as easy and user friendly for quick set up and quick start up. Pro tool is not for me,there are people that swear by it,and its all good,just not for me. Acoustica Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 is a steal for the money! just add to cart and bring back the fun of recording again..

    Great value, intuitive interface.

    Acoustica Mixcraft is a powerful DAW with an easy to learn interface.
    Great customer support and an active, helpful and friendly online user community.
    Mixcraft 7 and Mixcraft 7 Pro Studio offer a great alternative to other complex and expensive products on the market.
    Note that there is a standard version between the "Home studio" and "Pro Studio" version. The great folks at Sweetwater need to show this version in the catalog as well!

    Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 is my go to DAW!!!

    I was an Avid Pro Tools 8 user for about 5 years and I became annoyed by the freezing, crashing, and rebooting that I had to do constantly when recording directly into the DAW and when I was zealous with the plugins. So I took a chance on Mixcraft 7 and I fell in love with it. It has all of the features of Pro Tools that I like but at a much cheaper price and easier on the cpu. I don't ever plan to go back to Pro Tools.

    MixCraft is AWESOME!!

    MixCraft 7 Pro Studio has come a long way. I had MixCraft 5 but it lacked a lot of features I needed at the time. None-the-less it was a very nice DAW that I felt was heading in a great direction. FFW I upgraded to MixCraft 7 Pro Studio and am blown away by not only the features and enhancements Acoustica has added but the quality and simplicity is astounding as well. Everything just works the way it should. I have 3 other DAWS, all much more expensive and let me just say MixCraft can easily keep right up with them and it does most everything they can do. In some areas even better. This is a fantastic piece of recording software and Acoustica's support is stellar too. Don't let the low price fool you. This is one very powerful and efficient DAW!

    Mixcraft Pro Studio 7

    First off, I want to say that I'm a huge fan of Mixcraft. I've been using Mixcraft as my primary DAW since Version 4. I've also used other DAWs in the past, such as ProTools, Sonar, Cakewalk, and Reaper. They are all good programs, but for me, Mixcraft is all I need. I can take a song from start to finish in no time without the hassle of bouncing this and that. I can easily manage my hundreds of plugins too! Mixcraft's Pro Studio Reverb is the best sounding reverb I've ever heard. The various functions found within Mixcraft have a low learning curve, which means you can be up and running, producing great music in no time. Mixcraft's latest version comes in both 32 and 64-bit. The 64-bit version can run both 32 and 64-bit plugins, which is awesome. The bottom line is that you won't find a better DAW out there for the money!!

    This is the DAW to watch

    I am embarrassed at the amount of music software I own and use. Pro Tools 9, Studio one 3, Reason 8, Sonar, Reaper 5, Samplitude Prox2,FL Studio 12, Harrison Mixbus 3, and Tracktion 6 all have a place in my heart for different reasons. Each has their strength and Mixcraft is simply to easiest and best way to learn the layout of your typical linear DAW. It can hang with the big boys in terms of features and its actually a blast to work inside of due to its ease of use and wealth of options. As of version 7, it plays nice with all of the plugins(And i have ALOT) that ive tried it with. It seems to be marketed towards rock musicians and thats cool but I would almost say its one of the most versatile workstations in terms of genre creating that ive worked with. To me, Mixcraft feels a lot like Samplitude ProX by Magix but at about 1/3 the price. I like where these guys are heading and within a version or two it'll be giving the big boys in the DAW world something to worry about

Mixcraft 7 Review

A bunch of us recently auditioned Mixcraft 7.  This was not an in-depth analysis but it ran flawlessly on two different computers. It's easier to navigate than 6 which was also easy to navigate.

We recorded a song using some loops and real instruments and the loops we used sounded very good. The vocals came out good and tracked well. The preset effects and chains were a bit too much. We had to cut back on the preset reverbs but once tweaked they sounded fine.

It has more plug ins. The guitar tuner worked great as opposed to them being a bit wonky on 6.

So far so good. Check back for updates.

Stop Using Macs

PCs are better now. Sure Microsoft fucks up a lot and often the Mac OS is more stable than Vista or Windows 8 but Windows 7 is as stable as anything Mac has and if you go onto DAW discussion forums you will see that DAW have the most trouble running on a Mac. The technical reason is not the main reason that I am suggesting this.

Apple is a much bigger international corporate gangster that Microsoft. Steve Jobs was a much bigger asshole that Bill Gate or Steve Balmer.

If you want to run a your DAW on a Mac get a Hackintosh or by a Chinese copy of a Mac. Most Macs and Apple devices are made in China by slave labor so why not just buy a Chinese copy?

Why Are 5 String Basses Like Cilantro?

It's because they ruin everything! When ever I see a band with a five or six string bass player I know its going to suck. This also holds true for drummer with too many drums. It's not the number of drums and how they crowd the stage and for the bass it's not only the extra string it is also the idiot playing it. Sure that B string throws mud into the mix and fucks up speakers and amps but the main problem is the jackass playing it. Five stingers play like wimps. I've played a few 5 strings and I found that you can't really dig in and play aggressively. Hence the wimpiness and any musician who can't figure that out sucks.

James Brown told the members of his band that every instrument that they were playing was a drum. Like the guitar, and piano the bass is a percussion instrument but the five string's attack is weak and anemic like the assholes who play them.

Presonus Studio One: The Agony Continues

I probably should have done this sooner. When Acoustica released Mixcraft 6 it sucked but it's suckiness was nothing compared to other DAWs such as Cubase, Reaper, Pro Tools and Presonus Studio One. Even when Mixcraft 6 was unstable it was still far superior to the aforementioned DAWs based on workflow alone as well as its superior plug-ins and price point. At least Mixcraft had a lot of potential. Acoustica took it's lumps, kicked some geek ass and fixed Mixcraft 6 and called it Mixcraft 6.1. Acoustica seems to give a shit whereas Presonus seems to be an arrogant company run by a bunch of nasty and dishonest Christards.

Their online user forum sucks and they ban anyone who expresses any frustration. Even on the Reaper forum people try to offer help and while there is no help for Reaper, at least people try and are polite for the most part.

Studio One is an unnecessarily difficult DAW to learn and use. Navigation is a nightmare and it's GUI is so ugly and cluttered that it makes you want to vomit.  Geeks like shitty GUIs. They love Reaper which is as sucky as Studio One but less expensive.

Studio One Sucks but don't just take my word for it.

3 extremely irritating things about Studio One! | AudioSEX ...







Now to the Presonus online user forum.

Mixcraft Tutorials Are Great!

They are IMO the best tutorials out there and they are free. Scumbag DAWS like Presonus Studio One makes you buy tutorials and Reaper has its forum full of idiots and assholes who try to make you feel like an idiot because you don't understand something. The only thing you need to know about Reaper is that it sucks and it always will suck and the only thing you need to know about Presonus is that it sucks slightly less than Reaper.

Mixcraft 7 is a musician's and a producer's DAW in that it is easy to use, intuitive, and efficient. Acoustica gives a shit about its users now.

They currently have 47 well done, easy to understand tutorials on Youtube. If you are new to DAWs after you see their tutorials you won't feel intimidated. The best sales tool a DAW maker can have is a tutorial. It's like a virtual test drive. It will let you know if the DAW is for you.
