If you have multiple send tracks, you can toggle the selection on the left side upper corner of the mixer view to switch which one the track knobs are currently applied to.

(I'd add a graphic, but there seems to be an issue with the message board right now......)
Stay in tune, Mark

Multi-out Omni-sampler.
Better sample browser.
An upgrade for the UI. It's very functional, but it's not the prettiest to look at. DAWs like FLS and Bitwig have very nice looking UI's.

Edit:

More keyboard shortcuts for midi-editing like quantize, note lenght and so on.

Ability to get the chords for any loops in your library

See the chord diagrams synced with the music

Something like the guys at Riffstation have done

Interesting idea, but would be low in my own priorities for where the Acoustica guys should be spending their mercenary efforts (not meant as a negative).

I am using an Acoustica loop whose chords sound good in my song, but I want to do more with them, as a matter of fact, convert them to a MIDI loop--by playing the chords myself. Mixcraft seems to have been conceived, and is still marketed, not only as an alternative to Garage Band, but as one to Acid (show me the MIDI loop library built into either program)--If you play keyboards I suggest trying to make your own MIDI loop (which you could convert to audio). It is, BTW, great ear-training. Remember most great Art comes from "accidents"--unintended consequences of experimentation. But your ears have to capture the "accident". And, but, or, maybe you can nail the chords exactly as is! EOM

Well, just another opinion, but multiple knobs takes up space in an already busy screen. Honestly, i feel there are other priorities that would be far more handy to stuff in that space. But that's another subject.
However, if we could perhaps right click on the send knob in the mixer view and select which send it was assigned to, now that might be handy.
Just a thought. 8)
Stay in tune, Mark

I've seen in videos of Pro Tools that you can pan a single track hard left and hard right on the same channel. This would be a useful feature in MC 8 for me. Say if I wanted to double my guitar and pan them hard left and hard right in MC now, I would have to use two seperate chanels and pan them, often adjusting the time of one of them by a few milliseconds so that they seperate into L and R better. But if MC 8 had this feature I wouldn't have to do any of that, I would just pan the one channel of my choice seeing as it has two pan pots.

Ability to organize the plugin order once you have put them into collections in the plug in manager.
Currently you can drag and drop the catagories or the collections into the order you want
but once you make a collection you cannot rearrange the order inside that collection

I was wanting to be able to assign a button on my control surface for the FX button and Automation button on the screen. Currently when I hit Midi learn those two are not highlighted in blue to give me the option to assigning it to a specified button on my control surface for that track

Hi,

Select the parameter you want to automate, then click MIDI Learn:

Alternatively, put the effect on a Send track and automate the send to control the entire effect without messing with individual parameters.

Add a hotkey for Duplicate Track would be really nice.
