Aww shucks . . . No side-chaining. This ultra important pro DAW feature is "almost" a deal breaker for me.

I am very, very pleased that Mixcraft is finally 64 bit and features an excellent bridging option though.

64 bit processing allows more . . . . * more of everything. Multi-threaded VIs (such as U-He DiVa) definitely benefit from 64 bit processing. 64 bit really shines when you use large, multi-gig sample libraries; such as many of the modern Kontakt libraries or Magix's Independence Tools sample librari...

Howdy all, I'm absolutely luv, luv, luvin' FabFilter Pro-DS. :D I had a blast bench-testing/reviewing it. If you're interested, you can check the review out ( and accompanying video ) here: FabFilter Pro-DS Review – Shh the eSSes! And of course, I used Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 for the review. *High 5!

Au contraire, gypsy101. Pro-DS is a highly intelligent, ultra-transparent processor. If it were a matter of simply "cutting" frequencies, then a parametric EQ would suffice. Of course, professional engineers know that this is not the case. Gypsy101, you are mistaken about its range as well...

Not free, but in this reviewer's opinion, it is the BEST DeEssing plug-in available for PC-based recording/production. FabFilter Pro-DS . Costs around $200. Amazingly smooth and transparent while remaining unparalleled in terms of quality and effectiveness. http://www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-ds-d...

FYI . . Scarbee Rick Bass is really, really good, but I think that the crown goes to OrangeTreeSamples' Evolution Rick Bass. If you're looking for unparalleled, pristine, deeply sampled excellence, you owe it to yourself to give it a serious investigation. http://www.orangetreesamples.com/evolution-...

Ram requirements will be rather high though . . . I've run out of memory more than once using Mixcraft. I only have 6GB on my laptop, and using jBridge, I still run out of memory . . lol. I'm in the process of benchtesting/reviewing jBridge. It's a wonderful tool for those of us who love Mixcraft 6 ...

Funny, I often have great performance on my HP i3 laptop using WaveRT. Sometimes it's really convenient to NOT have to set up an audio interface - especially when I have to use iLok, midi keyboard, and a controller surface. Just my 2 cents.

Depending on your requirements as outlined by Gary (above), I'd definitely have a look at this . I know several Mixcraft boys use Focusrite interfaces (myself included) Highly recommended :D I absolutely agree! I wouldn't trade my Scarlett 2i4 for any other interface. I also have a PreSonus VSL440 ...

One of the magnificent bundled instruments included with the impressive Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 suite is MemoryMoon's faithful Yamaha CS80 emulation: ME80 . I've written an exhaustive, in-depth review of the incredible soft-synth. You're cordially invited to come over and check it out at Reviewer's Re...

Waves Tune is arguably the BEST . . . the most transparent-sounding. Unfortunately, no, it doesn't work in MixCraft. It works well in Studio One though. I also use Melodyne. Melodyne is very good; Tune is great.

Thank you for the great, detailed review!

Cool! Thanks a million, Greg. It was definitely my pleasure.

Perhaps my suggestions are too obvious? 1. 64 bit ( With GOOD built-in bit bridging so that we can continue to use some favorite 32 bit plug-ins and VSTIs within a 64 bit DAW. ) 2. Similar to Pro Tools, a feature whereby the faders of ALL channels can be adjusted evenly at once. This is a great feat...

Hi All, Bro. Charles here. :) I apologize for taking so long to get a new review written, prepared and published. Up this time on the reviewer's bench, is one of the most underrated and overlooked DAWs on the market; Acoustica's Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 . I suspect that there will be those who will not...

I own Antres Harmony FX. It's pretty good. To get the best results, use the chord mode, combined with DAW automation. It's tricky and time-consuming to do, but it yields better results. However . . . . I also own zPlane's "vielklang LE". For the money, it is heads and shoulders above its A...
