P.S. Ask Graham which DAW he uses and why.

I don't understand the comment "If you don't have a need to trade files with other studios".... Does that mean I can't trade recordings I make in Mixcraft with a studio that uses Pro-tools? No worries, you can share your project stems with users of about any reputable DAW. Just one of man...

I think that he finds it silly when we're talking about "professional" DAWs but name DAWs that only really compete in the virtual creation, I'm-sitting-on-my-laptop-computer-in-my-bedroom-or-recording-in-my-souped-up-garage-studio market. When it comes to the original purpose of DAWs, Pro...

Bitwig?!?!?!? Studio one? Really? This thread is getting silly. Most pro studios still use Pro Tools, and to a lesser degree Nuendo and Sonar. Not nesesarily because they are better than other programs. In the case of Pro Tools they gained a foothold on the market when computer recording was new, an...

Get that baby onto a mass production line immediately, before someone beats you to it! If Fender can sell road worn and pawn shop guitars that have been beat on with a hammer, set on fire, and have the finish rubbed off, I think you've got a real winner there. Kids everywhere will clamor to buy it.

I have an XP machine with nothing but music related software in it. This machine will never see the internet again. I can go on this way indefinitely. But....... If you're running XP it would be wise to stay off the net.

Here's a good free one from a respected developer:

Thanks Greg! That would be very cool indeed if that turns out to be the case.

I would also like to add this folk wisdom cliche- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." All the components and software in my system are playing nice together, and I intend to keep it that way. PS- I asked in the big Mixcraft 7 thread, but never got an answer. I know it's a lot to hope for, a...

XP is alive and well for me. I have a closed DAW system that no longer goes on the internet. I am happy with my current software choices and audio interface. I am satisfied with the performance of my system. I have my back up boot disks, and intend to use XP for as long as possible. Windows 8? Bah. ...

Don't turn the knob?

Hi Laser, It has been suggested that your best option is to buy a bass. If you decide to go this route I have a suggestion. Get a short scale bass. They are much easier to play for people who are primarily guitar players. By comparison a standard long scale bass will feel like the neck is a block lo...

Will Mixcraft 7 continue to run with Windows XP? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Mixcraft also hosts DX plug-ins.

The price is right

I tried that too and found it to sound synthetic within a mix.

Agreed. But I view these as novelty toys anyway, so why pay much for one. No viable substitute yet for singing them.
