Re: Size of main drive for Mixcraft Studio

The odd thing is that I am most likely to D/L Studio onto this Lenovo and, if it works and Mixcraft suits me, I am unlikely to keep it on here; rather, I will certainly run it in my desktop and probably get or designate a non-internet computer as mobile DAW. (I'll likely have to work out of town fai...

The "OTHER" ~Optimize your PC for Mixcraft!~

It seems to me that a computer to which you commit all these adjustments had better not be your main and internet computer, because you may (a) do something to it which you will regret and not be able to undo; and (b) many of us would have to spend an hour or so mucking about each time we switch fro...

Re: Size of main drive for Mixcraft Studio

I may have sewed some confusion. I own two laptops, so the main drive size may be either 250 or 500 GB...... if I stop buying stuff!

Re: Size of main drive for Mixcraft Studio

Wow...... Thanks for that. If there isn't much else on the laptop I don't see why not. It may depend on your user case and how you intend to use it . For instance if you use Mixcraft as I do for using samples I would make sure you have all of them on the laptop before using it away in case there are...

Size of main drive for Mixcraft Studio

Eventually I'll have Mixcraft of my custom desktop Gigabyte, but for reasons I'll be starting here while on the road, traveling a lot, etc.; so to begin with, could i run it on a laptop Dell with a 256GB SSD, and an external drive or two? It would not be ideal, but would it work for a while? Thank f...

W7, disable laptop sound card

I've been using a custom desktop DAW, but as I am about to try Mixcraft, I will be using a laptop for 2 months or more. I need to know how to disable and enable the default sound card when I do not have the interface/DAW running. If it is too much trouble I may make other arrangements. Thank you.

Re: Guitars on Mixcraftt types use for

This will of course be personal preference and choice. But for me (and I record a lot of guitars as a home hobbyist) ... 1. I never record from a mic'ed amp - it eliminates all room noise and other hassles straight away. So always D.I. into my Focusrite 2i2. 2. There are several options for tone sh...

I apologize for the typing and /or grammar in the title. It would be a cop-out to say that I was on drugs.

Re: Mixcraft with USB Hub, External drive

In the old days external drives needed lots of power but these days you can even use a good quality thumb drive. The only danger is if there's a lot of data streaming through the hub you stand a chance of corruption. If you have a laptop and the drive is too small buy a bigger drive and use a Cloni...

Mixcraft with USB Hub, External drive

I may have to use an external drive at least occasionally, from a USB hub. Does Mixcraft tolerate such a setup? Has anyone here tried it? Thank you.

Re: New song....

It would be easier to find and follow your songs if they had titles and were not all called "New Song." Thanks
