![]() Pro Studio 6 understandably weighs more than the Standard version 260 MB. The Pro Studio 6 version is only downloadable via the link that Acoustica emails to you upon purchase. Once the 14 day trial period has expired, saving or "mixing down" project files will be disabled, until the application is properly authorized and unlocked with a purchased license code. ![]() The trial version runs without any restrictions whatsoever. The full, 14-day trial version of Mixcraft 6 (Standard) is a conservative download of only 139 MB. Thank God, the gang at Acoustica, and Ken McLaren of AcmeBarGig, that Shred is still available in Mixcraft. Shred used to be available for free download from the ABG web site, but it's pretty tough to find now-a-days. ![]() The first couple of tracks that I recorded for my upcoming debut Gospel album, feature Shred's " Quarter" amp head along with the classic Tremelo effect and a virtual 4x10 cabinet. Providing some excellent guitar amp simulation, AcmeBarGig's classic amp suite, " Shred", is also contained in Mixcraft. The loops range a vast span of contemporary music genres from hip-hop, latin, funk, rock, jazz, blues to heavy metal and electronica. The list type is sorted by clicking on one of the ‘ sorting’ options from the dropdown menu. The extremely easy-to-use IZotope Mastering Essentials mini-suite rounds off the pile very nicely.Īdding to the full compliment of virtual instruments and effects, Acoustica have included over 6000 good quality loops, all of which are intelligently categorized and listed by musical style, instrument, key, tempo, and etcetera. Select choices from the ToneBoosters include “TB Gate” and “TB ParametricEQ”. A heaping collection of plug-ins from G-Sonique increases the value of the effects bundle considerably. Of worthy interest, Acoustica’s own “Pro Studio Reverb” and “Pro 31 band EQ” are real charmers. There are plenty of decent-quality effects included in the collection that will keep any fledgling or budget-constrained home-recording environment humming along nicely. For Rhodes and Wurlitzer fans, Applied Acoustics System’s “Lounge Lizard Session” is also in the club. Of special interest, Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 bundles “Pianissimo”, Acoustica’s good quality virtual Steinway Model D grand piano, and all three of the great-sounding VA synths from MemoryMoon. Version 6 of this powerful performer heaps up a robust collection of virtual instruments including organs, pianos, electric keyboards, drums, basses and synthesizers. It supports unlimited DirectX and VST 2.x plug-ins you can add as many plug-in effects per track as you want. Mixcraft happily dispenses unlimited numbers of midi and/or audio tracks, sub-mix channels and Send/Aux tracks. This makes Mixcraft one of the few pro-grade audio softwares that seamlessly integrate into most nearly any Windows environment – without having to strictly rely on outboard audio hardware. It aptly harnesses the power of Windows’ WaveRT audio bus so that most nearly any soundcard or onboard audio chipset can be used. It’s light on system resources and offers a refined audio engine. Mixcraft is fast, stable, attractive, and capable. It positions itself as one of the most viable DAW options in its price range. In its current build, Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 is a notable performer which offers a substantial toolset and an ample array of features. ![]() To upgrade from version 5 Standard to Mixcraft 6 standard only costs $20! To upgrade from 5 Pro to Pro Studio 6 costs $60. Acoustica’s upgrade pricing is the most gracious and fair of any company that I know of. ![]() To kick it up a notch, and gain access to the incredibly lush-sounding Acoustica Pro Reverb, IZotope Mastering Essentials suite, overflowing collection of quality virtual instruments and bevy of effects from respected developers such as ToneBoosters and G-Sonique, requires $149 well-spent dollars. This standard version of this 32 bit powerhouse from beautiful California, USA, retails for $75 buck-a-roonies. Don’t be fooled though, Mixcraft delivers a lot of “professional bang for the buck” and is much, much more than a beginner’s novelty app. The standard version is an incredibly affordable option for anyone from teenage producers to hobbyist retirees. Now in its sixth generation, Acoustica have upped the ante considerably with the ability to add multiple “lanes” on any single channel, improved VST crash isolation, multi-out VST support, improved midi/piano roll editing, multiple bus outputs, and ReWire integration. ![]()
