So initial feedback. a. New GUI / Colour scheme seems really only a minor update compared with the old one. It's still looking pretty long in the tooth compared to alternatives which are much easier on the eye. b. The waveform displays - just seems absolutely pointless - waste of space and nodoubt e...

No, the PC is very definitely running 64 bit windows, so its not that. Tried a WAV mixdown and that failed too. Have removed all of the VST3 from the project and it all seems fine now.

Anyone had any problems with Mixcraft 8 and Amplitube 4. MX8 keeps producing white noise on playback, and can't seem to write an MP3. The log file is littered with calls to the Amplitube 4 VST3 file and long delays. I've gone back to the old VST and it seems to be behaving itself but I have not seem...

Friends, your constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! My daughter came home from her dance & singing lesson last week a little upset because the song which she had been rehearsing for her upcoming recital was not available as a backing track, and her teacher was struggling to find a...

Yes, it's predominantly trying to minimise the pause when starting to play if I have 10 - 12 instances of the Aria player open, vs 1 instance, and as you say, the visual mess. Plus using a single version of the Aria mixer / reverb and trying to keep track of it all...... perhaps I have to go with a ...

Hi all, Struggling a little with Garritan Personal Orchestra in Mixcraft 8.1. I'm still learning to use the software, but a lot of tutorials for making realistic sounding strings suggest extensive use of expression and modwheel. I am struggling to reconcile this with having to use multiple lanes to ...

Hi All, recently got a Zoom R8 for use as a audio interface. Having some issues though and wonder if anyone can help. I have installed the drivers and configured the unit as an interface, and the unit works well as a control surface. However I cannot get it to work as an audio interface in Asio mode...

Mark makes some excellent points, but I would add that it can sometimes help to consider other elements of the mix, and their relative position and pan. I usually pan guitars, bass, drums etc slightly off centre - not excessively so and in a balanced manner - and this has the effect of widening the ...

Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere, but I'm perplexed as to whether I should be setting up audio drivers differently now that Mixcraft has been optimised for Windows 10's audio capabilities. I have a Windows 10 machine with an i7 and 16 Gb of memory, and the audio interface is a Focusri...

Mark, as far as I recall I just installed EZD2 and removed EZD1. The original libraries which were supplied with EZD1 remained accessible and I didn't notice any difference whatsoever in terms of ongoing use within Mixcraft.

I would recommend to Focusrite users that they check out the beta drivers. The current drivers for the 2i2 are pretty poor in my opinion, a shame because the hardware is good. Interesting the discussion about class a/B preamp design, but for an effective audio interface the software is as important ...

Martin, I might be being a bit dim here, buts it's not clear what you want. I'm pretty sure that when I've wanted to download the mixcraft installation files again, I have either emailed support or used the form on the website to get the links and licence keys sent out again. If you look for lost co...

My favourite Elton John song. Very nice piano - have you thought about trying to find a nice ARP patch and adding a bit of extra keyboard a la the Elton John version? I believe the original used a multitracked ARP 2500, might be able to get a similar sound out of one of the free ARP VSTs available.

Hi Rick, the sample was taken from "On the Beach", the 1959 movie of the Neville Shute book. I thought it worked well, and I'm glad you did too. Thanks for your comments.

Hi Rick, don't know, the link seems to work for me? Cache problem possibly?
