Re: Some Mixcraft 8 tips
Mixcraft 8 supports sidechaining if the effect has that option:

Currently, none of the included effects in Mixcraft 8 support sidechaining. The pictured effect is a free one called Xhip Compressor.
Density mkIII is another free compressor that supports sidechaining.

Mixcraft 8 has an option to route a MIDI track to another MIDI track. This would allow you to have MIDI on full-sized tracks for your multi-out instruments (like Kontakt), instead of having to use lanes!
