They come from the Acoustica company itself, but also from Cherry Audio and Toneboosters. Vocoder tracks enable vocoder sounds on any track with one click. Drawing and changing correspondingly complex modulations works in a similar way to that in a graphics program and this can only be a very useful and professional approach to draw automation compared with other DAWs. The parameter automation is no longer restricted to a purely linear curve, but can now actually take on various exponential and logarithmic curve shapes. Also, the piano roll now allows the step recording feature. But plug-ins now also benefit from automation and control via MIDI, LFOs synchronized to the tempo or side-training with audio signals. The virtual wooden side parts of the mixer section were removed and now it looks more modern.Īutomation has been improved and is now possible to automate the pitch or the main project tempo, to slow down or accelerate the whole mix wherever you want. The track icons and the mouse cursor have been redesigned. In addition, the fonts are now larger with better contrast. The transport and the panels can now be moved freely on the screen where you need them and get an improved workflow. Mixcraft 9, therefore, looks more modern than its predecessor. “From its slick, modern interface to its powerful new effects, instruments, and features, we’ve upgraded nearly every aspect of Mixcraft, with new visuals, new sounds, and more power than ever.” – Acoustica Team What’s New In Mixcraft 9Īt first, something has changed optically. Mixcraft 9 Pro is a complex program suitable for any studio job, so it definitely can be the best choice for any music producer, it all depends on your readiness to learn how to use it and take advantage of everything that this program offers. Starting from the question “What is the best DAW for music production?”, I will answer as I have done on other occasions: “The best program is the one you know best”. Mixcraft is developed by Acoustica INC and is only available for Windows at this time, in two versions: Mixcraft 9 Recording Studio and Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio. If you do not know or heard about this program I will give you a short presentation. Over time I had the opportunity to test older versions (Check here Mixcraft 8 Review). Mixcraft is not something entirely new to me. Recently we had the opportunity to get a copy of Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio (many thanks to the Acoustica team for making this review possible) and tested the new features of the application.
