The latest update includes Kastelheimer Veldberg XD, a synth described as having a ‘cold, heavy and ultra-sharp sound, with analogue-sounding liquid filters and hard oscillators’. But it’s that claimed $1,250 of plug-ins where it gets really interesting. Turning to the features in more detail, Pro Studio has unlimited audio tracks three types of editing (piano roll, notation and step) video-editing facilities and a not inconsiderable 7,500 samples (hits, loops and effects). Mixcraft 8: Up on features, Down on Price And with this top-end Pro Studio version selling for just $179, it already seems like the DAW deal of the century.
This is a PC-only DAW but, on the face of it, it comes with a staggering featureset that not only includes a list of pro features, but also bundles $1,250 worth of extras. We last looked at Mixcraft a couple of years ago, so it’s high time that we gave it another in-depth look. Most recently, we looked at Tracktion Waveform, a fantastically neat DAW that pretty much does everything you could need on any machine, and there are plenty more contenders from the likes of Bitwig, PreSonus and this – the latest update to Mixcraft from Acoustica.
