MELODYNE COMING IN NEW PRO STUDIO!

[Ajgi]

Just got the email about Pro Studio Black Friday deals, and it stated some new features in the next version.
Here they are for anyone who doesn't follow the news letter:

"Among the new features and enhancements you will get in Mixcraft Pro Studio 8 (coming soon!) is the integration of Celemony Melodyne Essential pitch-correction (Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio exclusive), Omni Sampler 8 output version (Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio exclusive), effects sidechaining, mix down to stems, MIDI clock/sync transmission, full effects delay compensation on all tracks, performance panel live recording, VST3 plug-in support, MP4 video support, extensive UI/workflow enhancements, and much more."

Thankyou Acoustica

And people who do own Mixcraft* can upgrade to Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 for only $49.95 until Monday and get Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio for free when it is released.

Actually, anybody who buys or upgrades to Mixcraft 7 or Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 from this point on will get a free upgrade to Mixcraft 8 or Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio when it is released, even after Monday.

*Mixcraft Home Studio is not included in this promo.

So basically, everybody except your faithful long term customers gets MC 8 Pro free.

Whoaaa, No Follow-Up Reply On This One. Wonder Why?

We Agree with comment about Long Term Customers. Hell, we even helped Beta Test MC7, Reported Bugs, Made Suggestions For Additions And/or Improvements & STILL Did Not Receive MC7 Free When It Was Released. So Much For Loyalty Considerations (And We've Been Around Since The MC5 Days) Huh??

And For That Fact We Would Have Been Happy If Acoustica Had Just Offered Us A Drastic Discount Purchase Price Of Say $10 If Not For Free (That Way Acoustica Would Have At Least Made A Little CC & We'd Have Been MOST Appreacative).

[Acoustica Greg]

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. We do something similar for every major release. A bunch of our faithful longtime customers got Mixcraft 5 free when they bought Mixcraft 4 just before version 5 was released. Others got Mixcraft 7 free when they bought version 6 shortly before 7 was released.

We do this so that people who buy the old version right before the new version comes out won't feel shortchanged, and of course also so that people don't just stop buying the old version until the new one comes out.

And our existing Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 customers will be able to upgrade for $10 less than this Black Friday upgrade sales price.

Your upgrade fees give us the funds to continue developing and supporting Mixcraft.

No need to follow up, the offer is more than reasonable and completely fair.
Its a good sale, on top of assurances that new purchases are protected from missing out on an approaching upgrade. Its as if they are purchasing the latest version pre-release.
And existing customers get a ridiculously good price on upgrading as the ALWAYS have.

No further explanation was necessary IMO.

Is it f*ck. It's as if they are purchasing MC 7 Pro (like I did) and getting MC 8 Pro free (like I can't).

Semantics.

I would suspect they have a few boxed sets of 7 left and are just trying to get that inventory to a minimum...

The term 'free' is confusing but essentially, no one is getting ver 8 without letting go of some money.

Seems like a reasonable enough deal to me, just bringing in an upgrade and allowing new buyers of 7 to get 8 included in the price of 7 so they don't feel cheated, similar deal for those who upgrade to 7 from now on. Existing owners of 7 get the cheapest deal. More than happy to upgrade from 7 to 8 for $39.00, considering the new features that are added. Anyway, spare a thought for us in Australia, where it will cost $52.42 according to the currency converter

People moaning about this is laughable when you look at other DAW software and other software upgrade's. I was always slogged about $150.00 to $200.00 (US) ($200.00 - $270 Aus) for friggin upgrades. The company has to make some money or you end up with unhappy developers, then it all goes down hill from there. Well done Acoustica for cramming all this stuff into such a cheap price.

As a midi user I have yet to find one solitary reason to jump from 7 to 8. In fact all I have had so far is grief trying to work out the new multi timbral routing and Acoustica appear to have no intention of posting a requested video, one image with a few arrows pointing here and there doesn't do, there are no other changes that I can see of any consequence and therefore have merrily kicked the 8 beta off the HDD and because of the frustration I've endured for nothing I have to say good riddance!

Really? The new version is going to be awesome. One of the main things for me is the new audio engine. The main downfall of mixcraft before for me was its audio engine. Everything processing-wise was so sluggish. Mixcraft 8 has improved that heaps.

Also, native sidechaining and routing, which are extremely useful.

And then of course, MELODYNE WOOOO
If you're not familiar with Melodyne, it is a modernised autotune. Extremely good tool for any vocals or other monophonic instruments.

But yeah, if you're just a midi user Melodyne won't be any use, however try experimenting with mixcraft under max load in 7 compared to 8.
