MX9 initial feedback

Post by blaze591 »

So initial feedback.

a. New GUI / Colour scheme seems really only a minor update compared with the old one. It's still looking pretty long in the tooth compared to alternatives which are much easier on the eye.
b. The waveform displays - just seems absolutely pointless - waste of space and nodoubt eating CPU power for what benefit?
c. Latency - really horrible latency - recorded two guitar tracks using Amplitube4, just playing 16th notes, panned left and right with monitoring on. Mixcraft 9 - horrible delays on recording, none at all playback. Recorded the same thing on another popular low priced DAW with absolutely no latency issues. Both with the same settings on the interface ( Scarlett 2i4 44kHz, 256 bits).

Hi,

As you probably already know, if you don't like the Oscilloscope and Frequency View displays, you can turn them off:

In regard to latency, are you using ASIO mode? The next time you notice latency like that, quit Mixcraft and send us your mixcraft-log.txt file.
