Learning Beatcraft

Post by vonSeydlitz »

I've had Beatcraft for a long time but haven't had the chance to learn it until now.

I'm considering upgrading from MC 5 to MC 6. Does MC 6 have a drum program that replaces Beatcraft?

Hi,

Mixcraft 6 includes a new "Acoustica Studio Drums" virtual instrument, along with a drum map feature in the piano roll that makes it a lot easier to program drums on a virtual instrument track in Mixcraft.

Is the MC 6 drum program easier to use than Beatcraft? I'm not good at drums so I need easy.

I plan on getting MC 6 anyway, so should I just learn drum programming on that? I don't feel like spending hours on Beatcraft and then end up switching to MC 6.

Thanks much.

No matter what you use whether it's beatcraft or midi drum programs, they all require some sort of understanding of timing.
The Acoustica Studio Drums are a midi virtual instrument, you create midi drum tracks from scratch, or import existing midi files you might find around the internet.
A solution for people who are unable to create drum beats on their own would be EzDrummer, which is a virtual instrument you can use within Mixcraft, it comes with a ton of ready made loops, beats that you can simply drag together to create a song.

I currently have MC 6 and I love all the features. I can definitely recommend you to upgrade. :)
