Mixcraft 7.5 Build 289 Released - please update!
Hi all,
If you're using Mixcraft 7 or Mixcraft Pro Studio 7, please go to the Help menu and select Check For Updates. You'll receive the new Mixcraft 7.5 Build 289 which we've just released.
If you've been using a previous build of Mixcraft 7.5, there were a couple issues that cropped up. A bug in the latest version of our compiler caused some problems on Windows XP. And for a handful of folks using Core Audio/WaveRT drivers, some plugins would freeze when loading or playing. We've worked around both of these issues and we fixed a few bugs while we were at it, so I highly recommend upgrading.
If you're not yet using Mixcraft 7.5, though, you should upgrade! We've added new loops, FLAC support, and added advanced Windows 10 support. You can learn more about 7.5 here (http://www.acoustica.com/newsletter/201 ... aft-7.html). It's a free upgrade for all Mixcraft 7 and Mixcraft Pro Studio 7 users!

Hi Dan,
Just spotted this notification and it's none too soon, as the issues you describe I've been having. So I have a couple of qestions as last time I did an install of build we had a bunch of problems.
I'm using Mixcraft 7 (not pro studio). Do I need to "ugrade" to Mixcraft 7.5 first then get the 289 build?
Or just go to the help menu and download the 7.5 / 289 build?
If so, do I need to uninstall ANYTHING? And if I do do I need to move my MC projects somewhere else so as to not lose works in progress? I have about 25 unfinished projects that are all in different stages of completion so I really need to know for sure what I'm doing before I start.
Thanks my friend.
Marty

Yes, close all other programs, and close Mixcraft once the download begins. The install wizard will start once the download is complete, same as your original install.just go to the help menu and download the 7.5 / 289 build?
*If this doesnt work properly for any reason, you can go to your original download link for MC7 that was emailed to you and use it. The newest version will be downloaded.
No. Your projects are not stored within Mixcraft. The update install does not effect them.do I need to uninstall ANYTHING? And if I do do I need to move my MC projects somewhere else so as to not lose works in progress?

Hi Mark Hi Dan,
Okay I went to the help menu...cicked updates, and downloaded the build for mixcraft 7.5. Is that it? Or did I need to download the whole mixcraft 7.5 first?
earlier tonight had a computer glitch which I finally fixed so I am just being paranoid and want to make certain there was nothing else I needed to do. The public announcement had a link for downloading MC 7.5, that is why I am asking.
Thanks
Marty

That should be it.
Did you install? Have you opened Mixcraft and looked at the version displayed in the top left corner?
If it says 7.5 v289 you are done.

I have Mixcraft Pro 7.1, so thought this must apply to me! However, the Help/Check for updates says "An update is available (7.5)" and when I say OK, it thinks about it then says "You have the latest version!"
Undeterred, I headed over to the download page and downloaded the latest Mixcraft7 setup file. On this download page it doesn't now seem to distinguish between normal and Pro Studio? After I download and run the .exe and enter my existing reg details it then says "The entered code is for Mixcraft 7 Pro Studio. Please use the correct installer."
Any ideas?
thanks v much!
Nicky

I have noticed that updates seem quite big for patches, 25MB this time. Does every update basically replace the entire application minus the instrument libraries?

OK Good to see you are still fixing and improving MC I don't really notice the improvements, though, probably because I don't use all those advanced features anyway.
Although it doesn't say so, it seems to me that one can and should already close MC while the patch is being downloaded as that little window is not part of MC, right?

Hi,
That's right, you can close Mixcraft while the patch is being downloaded.

Just downloaded the update and things have gone south. Every track I pull up now has clicks and pops all over the place..... And rarely had them before. Please advise.
