Re: Will Mixcraft 8 work on my older system?
... That leaves me with 2a. I'm not sure I understand about getting the signal into Firebox. I can plug a mic or guitar into Firebox, but if I disconnect the firewire cable from the computer, then Firebox can't really do what I need it to do. My only purpose for it is as a conduit from my instrumen...

Re: Will Mixcraft 8 work on my older system?
(1) Yes, you can keep Mixcraft 7 when you install Mixcraft 8. As Thomas said, you might want more RAM, but your other specs should be fine for a substantial number of tracks, effects, etc. (2) Ground loop hum can be very hard to diagnose and cure. But we'll try. (a) You said that disconnecting the F...

Re: 432hz for VSTs
Some virtual instruments have this built in. Look for a control called "fine tuning", "pitch control" or something similar. Many synthesizers have such a control, as do some sample libraries. You might have to tune the instrument by ear -- or use a guitar tuner plugin after the V...

Re: Just Starting Out w/Mixcraft 8. Some Basic Questions
Since you already have the Mackie, I wouldn't feel any urgency about replacing it with a different 2-channel interface. Until, that is, you find yourself needing to record more than two voices + instruments at once. Or unless the Mackie's software drivers start to give you trouble on your computer. ...

Re: How to replace live kick drum track with samples
In addition to the two Mark mentioned, there's also SPL DrumXChanger from Plugin Alliance, and Addictive Trigger from XLN Audio. Google for reviews of all four products. I haven't used any of these tools either and don't have a recommendation. When I read some reviews a couple of years ago, it looke...

Re: Just Starting Out w/Mixcraft 8. Some Basic Questions
What is the model number of your Mackie mixer/interface? It would help me to be able to look that up.

Re: Just Starting Out w/Mixcraft 8. Some Basic Questions
I'm going to assume that your Mackie mixer is hooked up to your computer using an audio cable to the Realtek line input jack, and not using a USB cable to one of the computer's USB ports. If that's true, then (1) you can't get 8 tracks into the computer at once, only a stereo mixdown of however many...

Re: Mixcraft Not Responding When Scanning For Plug-ins
Most (or even all) Izotope plugins require this. Since I have most of them, Mixcraft 8 spends about 12-13 seconds re-scanning them every time it starts up.Acoustica Greg wrote: ... or install non-VST DLL files into a VST folder ...

Re: volume boost?
Have you found a monophonic version of a plugin that has both monophonic and stereo versions, that does not do this?Acoustica Greg wrote:Hi,
It's only certain plugins that are doing this, so the software developers need to take a look and see what's up before we devise a solution.

Re: Fader Level vs. Volume Envelope Confusion and Gain Staging
Strange I have the Advanced 8, Neutron 2 etc but I don't ever remember paying for insight - unless it was included with Ozone 7 when I bought that bundle. Insight was included in Music Production Bundle 2, which also included Neutron 1, Ozone 7 and several other things. It is not part of the curren...

Re: HELP! =( Mixcraft does not receive MIDI output from VST
When you load MIDI Guitar 2 onto a track, are you loading it as an instrument (the keyboard icon with the tool tip "Change instrument ...") or as an effect plugin (the "Fx" icon with the tool tip "Edit Track Effects")? If you can only load MIDI Guitar 2 as an effect and...

Re: unable TO OPEN PLAYBACK DEVICE X 100
Do you have access to another DAW, notation program or media player that you can use to test your system? I doubt that this issue is specific to Mixcraft.

Re: Waves b360 plugin crazy high pitch sound
How long has it been since you updated your Waves plugins? I'm asking because a few months ago all of the "360" surround plugins disappeared during an update. I notified Waves, and they were restored in the next update a few weeks later. I'm mentioning this because it's possible that your ...
