1. More [user programmable] SHORTCUTS. Like I hate trying to size the video screen, cause
it's so clumsy. Shortcuts you can program to perform your various functions.

2. LARGER WINDOWS where used. I hate scrolling through tiny windows for various functions. Thats so ancient, Windows ME, circa year 1999.

3 TYPE IN SEARCHES. Forget scrolling through lists. that's ancient. Type in what
your searching for.

A PC setup for audio recording (DAW) is better than a fast gaming laptop. :wink:

That's four suggestions. :-D

If Mixcraft seems slow, pay attention to the plugins you're using in the project. Some plugins are resource hogs. Some read from the hard drive a lot, and some chew up CPU. Freezing tracks can help with this.

And since you're on a laptop, make sure you're not in power-saving mode. Laptops are designed to conserve battery power, and this can make for poor performance in DAWs.

Hi, Greg,

I run my laptop on full throttle.

Question: is there ONE button that disengages all ACTIVE plugins. {and reverse ? }

Not for all tracks, but you can do it a track at a time:

This is a much needed simple basic function IMO

There is a shortcut allowing a selected ranges level to be reduced by up to 50%. Not having one to reduce to inf. (mute) is an oversight and adding it would drastically improve editing workflow for me.
(I have also previously suggested this BTW)

Glad to hear I'm in good company. On this issue, we shall not be "mute". 8)

BTW, are you referring to this...?

Yep. ALT/CTRL/F would be for 50% reduction.
Drag across a selected range in a track to highlight/select, use the shortcut key. Whammo! :D

I use all the reduce/boost shortcuts a lot, and adding an inf. Reduce (mute) function would be a boon for me. 8)

Especially for those times when I'm using a mic and I can hear my squeaky chair or when I burp between notes. :mrgreen:

Hello,
I'm a new user here, but already have some requests:

1. Record and bounce any track output to new audio track.
1.5. Allow bounce any number of selected tracks and/or submix track to new audio track.
2. Bigger zoom level (up to 1 sample, would be nice :)) in both sequencer and sound editor windows + more edit options.
3. Something like racks with modular ability combine fx and synth in them( like in tracktion)

Hi,

1. Did you know you can currently right-click to the left of an audio track and select "Mix To New Audio Track" in order to bounce it?
2. Do you know about Mixcraft's "Edit In External Editor" feature? You could edit a sound in the free Audacity program, for example, without leaving Mixcraft. https://youtu.be/ygQUDUBHJyQ
3. Check out Voltage Modular. It can be a VST instrument or an effect.

Greg

Hello,

Thanks for responding, I know all workarounds, that you wrote , Mixcraft it's not first DAW for me. English it's not my native language, so maybe my post not clear.
For 1. I mean ability create new audio track, select output of any existing track to it, and by pressing ''record'' and record output to new track in realtime. For 2. using 3 party software, do not make Mixcraft easiest and fast DAW and biggest zoom never confuse. For 3. I do not request modular instrument, it is more about workflow.

It is just requests :wink:

Hi,

How would recording the track be different from just directly converting the track to wav? When you mix to a new audio track in Mixcraft, it includes everything on the track, effects and all.
