Anorax Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) MIXCRAFT 6 IS OUT I know that there are some people who use Acoustica Mixcraft 5 or 6, so I wanted to post this thread as a MX5 help thread, or a thread for general discussion. If you use Mixcraft 5 or higher and need help, just ask. If you use Mixcraft 5+ and can answer anyone's questions, or just want to give general pointers, feel free to do so.

Trinity Dragon Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Tried, it. Liked it. Seems like its a user-friendly version of FLStudio. Not to mention not as huge a program to run. Great for people with dinosaur computers like me. Still new to it, though, and still learning the ins and outs. Quote
Anorax Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Heh. Forgot about this thread... yeah, it's a great program until the Trial period runs out In all seriousness, it's good. The only thing I noticed lately is that my audio out changed from WaveRT to Wave, although I'm pretty sure I caused that somehow... Quote
mickomoo Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 The WaveRT change happened to me randomly. I think its a memory issue, either that or I have no idea what I'm talking about lol Quote
Anorax Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Necrobump for those who use Mixcraft, just wanted to let you guys know that Mixcraft 6 is out to the public. http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/index.htm Quote
mickomoo Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 For other mixcraft users, what kind of music do you compose? I've only found it to be so-so for my purposes, I've been using kontakt vsts and the program crashes after 6-12 tracks, and I was thinking of getting even higher quality vsts so I'm feeling like I'm going to have to leave mixcraft behind, though I haven't quite outgrown its ease of use...

Pl511 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Holy shit. XD I just downloaded the demo and this thing is frikking awesome. Mixcraft 5 is just blown away by this. Humanisation, duration, offset, SO MANY OPTIONS THAT MIXCRAFT 5 NEEDED. This is an instant buy for me. Because I have AM5, I can get it for like a third of the price. I am happy today. Quote

Ctrl+F my friend I've recently have been doing more electronic-centric music, which I have some stuff (mostly WIPs and stuff) on my soundcloud in my sig. However, I do like the ease of use that comes with recording audio. I find the process simple and painless, and with the new multi-lane system, I can get multiple takes at once, instead of the old stop-and-add-new-lane-and-start-again method. Holy shit.

This is an instant buy for me. Because I have AM5, I can get it for like a third of the price. I am happy today. Dude, I am loving MX6 soo much. because I have it on my laptop, I don't always have a MIDI keyboard with me, and the on-screen keyboard now works regardless of whether or not your mouse is focused in a VST window or not, that was a big problem for me in MX5. Along with the multi-lane system, which also works for midi. If I want, I can record my midi, then open up another lane (ctrl+L for new lane, ctrl+K to close empty lanes) and do all my MIDI automation there. Mixcraft reads both tracks at once, so my automation matches with my MIDI. Plus, I can drag the same automation pattern to match a different MIDI note pattern. It's great! Quote
mickomoo Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah I like the ease of use for audio recording and plug-in usage, but this is starting to seem to be not the best option in terms of vst recording and midi editing, not that it's bad but I need something more optimal. I'm going to get EWQL symphonic orchestra soon and it's starting to seem that I might need something a bit better than mixcraft Quote
Anorax Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 what kind of music do you compose mickomoo? Quote
mickomoo Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 horrible attempts at video game, jazz, and film music, mostly using orchestral and acoustic vsts lol Quote
Anorax Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 horrible attempts at video game, jazz, and film music, mostly using orchestral and acoustic vsts lol actually, there's a demo project that came with MX6 that shows off Mixcaft's more orchestral abilities. I believe it's called Callisteia. 32bitfile:///C:/Program Files/Acoustica Mixcraft 6/Example Projects/Callisteia.mx664bitfile:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Acoustica Mixcraft 6/Example Projects/Callisteia.mx6 Quote
mickomoo Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I've been too lazy to upgrade, or pay the 20 for the upgrade. I just got a desk though so within 2 weeks I'll start making music again. Quote
Anorax Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Well, here's a six-month bump. Apparently, Acoustica is now working on Mixcraft 7. They are apparently in the design stage now, and there's a feature request thread open for MX7. So, if there's anything you wished MX7 could do that it currently doesn't, that's the place to post about it. MX7 Feature Request/Suggestion Thread here. I'm honestly excited to see what they come up with for MX7, although I'm sure it'll take some time before they're ready for the beta. Quote
mickomoo Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 the program already has everything I need it seems lol Quote
