Re: What does a direct in box do and how can it help static issues...

They are two different things. An audio interface is a device that usually plugs into a USB port of your computer which allows you to record inputs (microphones or instruments or whatever) and send outputs to external speakers. They require a driver that the manufacturer typically provides for you t...

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!

Hi! Here is a suggestion... it would be nice if the signal routing in Mixcraft would be visually editable in a small graphical window, similar to what is shown here... you just drag the inputs and outputs with your mouse and basically see the virtual "cabling" that is going on... (I unders...

Re: Things I didn't know about MC... until today!

That's cool, I didn't know that! I always left-clicked on the piano icon of a virtual instrument track, then moved the mouse down to the [EDIT] button and clicked that, each and every time :(

Good tip, friend!

Using Mixcraft performance panel to cue backing tracks live?

Yesterday, my girlfriend did a private show in a small local venue. There was a pianist that performed with her, but she mostly sang to backing tracks. The sound guy that was there had a large mixer with an Apple laptop plugged into it, from which he seemed to be triggering the backing tracks using ...

Re: Track mode in Melodyne? (bug/request)

Hi Greg! Just to make sure, i'm not talking about multi-track editing which is only available in the top-of-the-line Melodyne Studio edition; what I meant is the Track mode (versus the Clip mode). Here is an excerpt of Melodyne's manual : In ARA-compatible DAWs, Version 4.1 offers decisive improveme...

Track mode in Melodyne? (bug/request)

Hello! I would love to be able to use the "Track mode" in Melodyne. Only the "Clip mode" seems to be supported in Mixcraft 8.1 Pro Studio. according to Celemony support. That would make moving within a track more productive as I feel I am wasting some time moving from clip to cli...

Re: Vocal Recording Tricks

I'm not an expert by any means, but I correct pitch and transitions in vocals with Melodyne, add quite a bit of compression, a touch of reverb, then I round that up with the FSQ1964 Transiant Vitaliser plug-in with the warm tubes preset as a foundation, and work from there.

Pretty satisfying results.

Re: Melodyne Surprise

I upgraded from the Essentials to the Assistant version myself, and i've used it yesterday for a few hours to correct vocals in a few songs... it worked flawlessly while integrated in Mixcraft, although I'm having some issues when moving across a vocal track... I can't get Melodyne to follow the pos...

Sustain pedal in MIDI controller not working properly

Happy saturday to all of you! I'm trying to use a sustain pedal plugged in the back of my Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 controller, for use in Mixcraft 8.1 Pro. In the Pianissimo VSTi, it appears to be acting as a damper pedal rather than a sustain pedal?! Any tips on setting this up properly as a susta...

General question : Zoom G5n into Zoom L-12 mixer

Hi everyone, I'm still relatively new to recording, recently purchased Mixcraft 8.1, and now and wish to connect my Zoom G5n to my (also new!) Zoom L-12 mixer. I think the Zoom G5n line outputs are balanced line level, so can I use, say, a typical 20-feet instrument cable (TS) into inputs on the mix...

Re: Melodyne 4.2 Update

Hello everyone, Just a quick heads up, I had problems with Mixcraft 8.1 crashing when accessing the integrated Melodyne pane, after upgrading from Melodyne 4 Essentials to Melodyne 4 Assistant . I uninstalled everything related to Melodyne with add/remove programs in Windows (I had two lines in my i...
