Re: MIDI Controller - Real Time Playback Control

Wow.... I'm an idiot. I didn't have a setting correct on the MIDI controller to send that CC. It works exactly like you say.


Thank you !!!!



Cheers !!

MIDI Controller - Real Time Playback Control

OK. Flame me if you must. I just can't find the right thread. Yes, I am stoopid. I just got an Akai MPK249. It has all the faders and knobs that transmit lots of CC info. I was wondering if I can assign the faders on the MIDI controller to the virtual faders on the display in Mixcraft. I found out h...

Re: Mixcraft Pro 7 skipping for split second, stuttering, creating faulty mixes

FWIW... I have a Dell i7 running a Tascam US-1200 for the I/O on Win10 Pro. Every-now-and-then, I will get a "hiccup" in the playback and when I try to use a MIDI file for a click track (I have a separate device that allows me to hear a click in-time, and can adjust to vol., mix, etc.). An...

Re: Mastering in Mixcraft.

AJ !!!! Thank your for your input. I do agree with you that there is no such thing a a perfect mix that will playback on all devices. I guess I have too much time on my hands... ;-) I sincerely appreciate the info on the streaming media. I have (I think) figured out a way to get HQ audio on YouTube ...

Re: Mastering in Mixcraft.

To all that question... I had to use an ellipses... does that make me smart, or just the way I talk? Moving on... I would like to hear from everyone on how they make a "final mix" for common reproduction. Do you just make a mix for all playback devices (iPhone speaker, Beats Audio Headphon...

Re: Optimize your PC for Mixcraft!

Another thing to try to use older hardware is to make sure that your Control Panel settings are set for "Background Services." Go to: Control Panel | System and Security | System | Advanced System Settings | Advanced (tab in window) | Settings button | Advanced (tab) | Change/select "...

Re: Optimize your PC for Mixcraft!

Here is my story,,, I used to have a dual core Athlon running Win7x64 with 12MB RAM. I ran the 32 and 64 bit versions. It all boils down to using plug ins. Use the appropriate plug ins for your bit depth (x32 or x64). If not, you will get a "wrapper" that will allow 32 bit plug ins on the ...

Re: Biting the Windows 10 bullet

FWIW... I have several copies of Win10 on different hardware and it all runs great. I'm not stealing licenses, but I have tried Mixcraft 64 bit on the following with Win10x64... AMD Athlonx2. Just a slow two core processor. Worked great until the hard drive puked, but had a hard time with all of the...

Re: *** Plugins Poll ***

All I can really ask is that Acoustica bugs the developers of the included freebies to get something/recompile that will allow x64 vst's... Not sure, but I think the developer environment is not getting updated or not worth the investment to make x64 vst's. I've had quite some success with finding v...

Re: Quality concern virtual instruments

If you are using Win10, your soundcard may only play back at 48khz. This appears to be the "standard" for Win10. I have seen sometimes where playing back 16bit 44.1khz files causes some bad stuff when Windows tries to resample. ASIO4Aall seems to work well and will automatically resample f...

Re: Audio Interface

I'm using a Tascam US-1200 USB with Win10 x64. I also have ASIO4All installed to get the Fender Mustang Amp to connect via USB. It all just works I've been able to get somewhere around 5.8 ms latency with a Dell i7. I looked at a Scarlett, but the older Tascam just had the bang-for-buck. The mic inp...

Re: MIDI to USB Interfaces?

Using Win10 and a Roland UM-ONE. True Plug-and-Play. It just works. FWIW... I also have a Tascam US-1200 USB interface as well as a Fender Mustang with USB. All of it records simultaneously with ASIO4All. Again, it just works.

Re: Mastering in Mixcraft.

Someone asked why I would use something other than Mixcraft for "mastering" a mix. Here's my opinion (well, maybe more of a work-flow)... When I'm happy with a mix, I go ahead and make a final mix with all of the effects and some limiting/compression on the master bus in Mixcraft. I'm chea...
