Mixcraft 9 nice new features

[Impulseman]

Hi,
I just opened MX 9 and I am already happy about the new features here and there.
In Piano Roll. The fact that I can draw different patterns for the Controllers and that I can see all MIDI parameters in a bigger screen is awesome.
Also, in the automation for tracks, I can adjust long parts of tracks in one mouse movement, thanks to a handle appearing over the part, I really needed that.
My MC 8 settings (Acoustica EQ and Guitar crunch distorsion) do not work for now but I had a popup notifying it. Probably will be implemented later. Not a big thing for me.
As of now, all is stable but I haven't really put it to a test yet, except listening to some songs.
Will be updating the news later..
Bravo Mixcraft team!!

This is what it was showing when I loaded a song

...Although the settings for the Rythm Crunch are present and seem to work

No crash, just this popup in the first message.

Hi,

Did you choose to install the legacy plugins? We put old plugins, like the Classic effects, in an optional package.

Greg

[Impulseman]

No,
I just had the usual plugins that came with MC 8 Pro Studio.
This Rhythm Crunch settings were those installed by Mixcraft I guess. Unless it came with an update.

Hi,

Then that's why you got the errors, you didn't install the old plugins. You've got the new ToneBooster plugins that replace them.

Greg

I just installed the MC 9 Beta you were offering me for testing, unless you already released it for sale.
Do you mean, I should re-install it?

[Acoustica Greg]

Hi,

If you want to install the old plugins, you can run the Mixcraft 9 installer again and choose the option to install the legacy plugins.

Greg

[Impulseman]

Ok!
Got it!
Thanks!

[Impulseman]

Now I understand...
There was no option to install Legacy plugins since they already are installed.
I see the new Tone Booster (TB)MultiFX plugin in the instrument, which is only for delay, chorus, phaser and other FX like that (sounds great) will have to test more, but I could not find a distorsion effect. Has this changed also? I still have the Twisthead VS206 Preamp

Hi,

Here's the option to install the old effects (along with another new option):



These options appear on the fourth installer screen.

In regard to Acoustica Distortion, you can install the legacy effects to get it.

Or, you can turn up the Drive knob in the mixer.

Or, you could try turning up Saturate, Decimate, Quantize, and Wet Out options in TB MultiFX.

Thanks for the images and explanation which are clear but on my Beta test version, I do not have this option, sorry.
I totally cleaned the PC after uninstalling and tried again but still, this option doesn't appear.
I thoroughly checked every screen but, except for the folders install options, there is nothing more.
...But I can see the TB plugins in the pull down menu when I choose for an FX.

As for the TB MultiFX, it replaces the delay that was included with the instrument and, with some adjustment, I could find what I needed. Saturate doesn't really make the sound metal or hard but it might help in some cases for old lamp Amps.
As for the distortion, I'll still use the one that comes with the instrument (Twisthead), it has what I need for heavy sounding.

Funny that you have this option that I don't...I could show you all the screens by re-installing again by taking captures of every one of them if you wish.

Hi,

What is the fourth screen?

When I install the beta version of Mixcraft 9, I see:
1. Welcome screen.
2. Unlock & Registration screen.
3. Newsletter screen.
4. Additional Options screen, (which has the two options I mentioned).
5. 32-bit / 64-bit screen.
6. Etc.

Is your installation in English?

Greg

[Impulseman]

My installation is in French
This is the fourth screen , along with the third and fifth

Hi,

Congratulations, you found a bug!

The installer detected your Windows language setting, and apparently that screen is not showing up when the language is not English. I'll file a bug report. Thanks for reporting this!

In the meantime, you can go into Mixcraft's Plug-Ins preferences, click Edit VST/VSTi Folders and tell Mixcraft where to find your Mixcraft 8 plugins.

There are 7 screens in all including the ones you wrote me.
