MIDI controllers - some newbie advice

Post by PazzaC »

Morning everyone.

I am intending to purchase Mixcraft 8 and was wondering if anyone here had some recommendations for a MIDI controller keyboard that works well with Acosutica's DAW.
Someone has suggested that M-Audio's Axiom Air Mini 32 Key USB Controller would be a sensible choice:

Can anyone verify it's compatibility with Mixcraft, or offer other better alternatives, please?

Thanks
Pazza.

Isn't the M-Audio group going through a restructuring and Windows compatibility crisis right now? It seems like there wee some previous posts relative to that.

Hi,

I think the concerns with M-Audio were more with their old Fast Track USB audio interface line.

The M-Audio's Axiom Air Mini 32 should work just fine with Mixcraft.

As Greg and AHornsby mentions regarding M Audio interface I got this and had a tough time with the drivers not working in windows 7, works fine with win 10.
