Hi everyone, sorry for yet another "Which audio interface?" thread but I'd like some advice on whether to get a bigger audio interface or a mixer or use a mixer with a small interface for recording multiple inputs? I am going to be getting a new PC soon and will be upgrading from Mixcraft ...

That's funny, because I was going to get one of those before my Scarlett but I was advised by a salesperson at a local Dawsons store that on a Windows PC, USB is better than Firewire and so I got the Scarlett. I'm sure my PC has a firewire port (1394?) so maybe I should look into a Saffire?

Yes I am. I will have the Volca Beats playing a drum pattern and on top of that I will swap between my guitar and synths to play parts on top (whilst also programming the drums to change the pattern up). I have my Zoom G3X hooked up to my mixer's effects and return outputs so I can connect my guitar...

Thanks for the replies, I think a bigger audio interface is what I need. I mainly only record live audio rather than midi. I do have a midi keyboard controller which I have used to record midi tracks but I prefer to use the audio out of say my Microkorg or old Casio MT-65 keyboard and treat them as ...

Hi, I have Mixcraft 6 Pro Studio and will be upgrading to version 7 in the new year but I was hoping someone could give me some general setup advice. At the moment I have an old Tascam M-06 mixer and it's outputs are connected to the two inputs of my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface (so I can ...

I did try using 100% and right up to the start of the first sound but while it reduces on noise, it introduces lots of crackles. This crackles are the same unless I go down to about 15-20% noise reduction. No crackles but instead I get artefacts where you can hear a kind of weird, almost detuning/ma...

Thanks gypsy. It's not so much a problem with hum that I have (I think I've posted previously about that and have seen those sites/devices you linked to), more a problem with hiss and the occasional crackle. I know for a fact the hissing is coming from my old Tascam M-06 mixer as I have been able to...

lol That's why I was asking really as I knew RX4 was so expensive so I hoped that Acoustica might do a a stripped-down version for a lot less. I really like using the Izotope Mastering Essentials plugin included with Mixcraft so I thought there might be a slim chance of another Izotope product. I've...

Hi, I currently have Mixcraft 6 PS and I know it has a noise reduction effect but it's not great as it can create lots of artefacts (depending on what percentage you use) but I was wondering if Mixcraft 7 will use a better version of this or something that can do spectrum analysis? I've had a go of ...

Hi, I have Mixcraft 6 Pro Studio and will be upgrading to 7 when it's released but I was wondering if there's a way to slow down the playback speed? I often find myself working with audio I've recorded into Mixcraft (say a synth) and I'm trying to match a drum part to it and get it to start at a spe...

Great, thanks again!

Sorry, also on an un-related note. Is there a way to zoom in/out without the timeline going to the beginning or end of the song? I want to be able to zoom right-in to a sound I'm editing but be able to stay in that position focused on it without having to keep dragging the timeline backwards and for...

Great, thanks very much for that. It's helped me out a lot! I think because I'm taking things a little more seriously and really listening to what I'm making, I'm hearing the differences and hearing sounds (or lack of) that I never noticed before when just a casual music listener. It's like I've re-...

Ah brilliant, that seems to have worked! Does it matter that it's only 24 bit stereo and not 32 bit?

Hi, I have been making some music in Mixcraft 6 Pro Studio and after many hours carefully mixing and getting the sound just right, I then finally mix it down to either am MP3 (320kbps) or WAV but the final file sounds completely different to the mix in Mixcraft, why is that? I have checked the audio...
