Okkar Battlefront(EVERSPACE)

It's been a long while since I made a tune in MC9(being that Reason 10 is my main DAW)...but since MC9 supports VST3, I needed the extra CPU efficiency.
Everything in this tune is freeware(with the one exception being...I used AAS's Object Delay on my bass track.)

Wow! Nice production and sonically well balanced.
Great job!

I like to hear others' compositions to see how they tackle how many tracks instruments etc they use.
I liked your pads and bass. I liked the change of tempo and the addition of eight bit sound.
I thought it suited the video gameplay well.

Wow...thanks for the kind accolades!! I was wondering....how do you like your Pro version of MC9? I was considering it myself, as I wanted the ME-80(but I was unsure about the rest of the upgrade contents....Voltage Ignite didn't interest me, as Cherry Audio VST's are insanely CPU-intensive & modular synths are too complicated. Glass Viper & that German synth with the yellow GUI didn't thrill me either. As for the FX...well...I generally like to pick & choose my VST's...rather than being stuck with VST's that I never had the chance to demo beforehand.) I ended up buying the ME-80 directly from MemoryMoon's website for $40 and got a really nice phaser effect called Phase Motion 2, for $30. I also needed a limiter & found a nice one for free, from TokyoDawnRecords(all of which, cost less than the upgrade price for the pro version.)

Here's a comparison chart between Recording Studio and Pro Studio.

Yes, our musical styles are different and I'm not really a synth user, but for me, it's a no brainer. I mean, Melodyne alone is worth the extra cost.

Don't neglect the plugins that come with Mixcraft. There can be a lot of hype out there on this subject, but I mainly use stock plugins. Tone Boosters have some great stuff, comparable to the 'industry standards'.

Thanks...but I am aware of the comparison chart(been using Mixcraft since version 6.) I can see how the Pro version could benefit guitarists, vocalists & such...but I'm just a synth guy & a composer of mainly instrumental stuff, so there really isn't much in it for me to justify spending $79(especially since I don't like the idea of having the use of the ME-80 synth to be restricted to only in Mixcraft(as my main DAW is Reason 10.)
