The Famous Windows DAW Looks and Sounds Better Than Ever

Acoustica Mixcraft has been a favorite Windows-based DAW for many professionals ever since it was introduced in 2004, thanks to its loaded features and ease of use. Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio is the latest flagship, and it adds even more firepower by now featuring an AI-powered Stem Separation tool, track regions, advanced audio and MIDI routing and recording options (as well as audio to MIDI conversion), and natively integrated Melodyne. There’s also a newly integrated online Mixcraft Store where you can purchase —or, in many cases, download for free — additional loops, instruments, effects, and even entire projects. Mixcraft 10.5 also sees improvements to the project start window (including preset Project templates), piano roll, plug-in manager, libraries, and much more. Plus, users can assign their own custom hotkeys, project settings, and plug-in collections, and a wider range of control surfaces are now supported. New drag-and-drop automation supercharges Mixcraft’s already speedy workflow, and its video editing capabilities make it a comprehensive multimedia powerhouse under one roof. Finally, Sweetwater engineers have discovered the MIDI controller support has been greatly enhanced, with a new Quick Access panel where you can immediately add, delete, and rearrange your virtual tracks' effects and instruments.

Note: This version of Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio is available to qualified educational organizations only. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.

New for Mixcraft 10.5

In addition to staples that have long driven Windows-based producers and musicians to Mixcraft — such as recording/mixing unlimited tracks and the Live Performance Panel — both the Recording Studio and Pro Studio versions of Mixcraft 10.5 have a wealth of brand-new additions, including:

  • An integrated Mixcraft Store that makes it effortless to find, purchase, or download free content, such as the brand-new Musician’s Toolbox suite
  • Quick Access panel lets you immediately add, edit, and remove instruments and effects on virtual tracks
  • A scalable interface with simplified menus and a more colorful, intuitive look
  • Drag-and-drop automation for an even more efficient workflow
  • Custom hotkey assignments to maximize your own personal workflow
  • Expanded MIDI device and control surface support
  • An updated Plug-in Manager with better search, organization, and an optional SafeMode
  • An updated project start window complete with links to news, sales, and other videos
  • Task-specific Project Templates for mastering, video editing, podcasting, and more
  • Auto-save with user-defined intervals

Up the ante with Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio Version

The Pro Studio version of Mixcraft 10.5 takes things even further, with some awesome exclusive features, instruments, and effects that combine to make Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio worthy of serious consideration from anyone either looking for a Windows-based DAW or looking to switch. These include:

  • An AI-powered Stem Separation tool
  • Track regions that allow you to select, copy, and drag-and-drop grouped clips and tracks, as well as their automations
  • Advanced audio and MIDI output recording and routing options
  • Audio to MIDI conversion that will enable you to augment your productions and arrangements with ease

Reviews

The Sleeper DAW
Most home recording enthusiasts are so enamored with what the big time studios and their favorite YouTube recording gurus are using (and giving tutorials on) that they completely overlook this fine DAW by the folks at Acoustica. This easy to use (but very powerful and capable) DAW does exactly what those other expensive "studio standard" DAW's do for way less money and you can keep your sanity too! Their website offers free easy to follow tutorials (if you actually need them) and a forum of actual users (that are friendly and helpful). If it wasn't for some of the "older" established DAW's having all the Corporate backing and advertising this DAW would be a front runner. Sometimes you have to search for a while to find "the one". This is it. Acoustica likes to say "recording should be easy". I believe this DAW proves it can be. Recording and editing audio and MIDI is fast and intuitive. Mixing and Mastering tools are included (and all you need). The included virtual instruments are very capable (and can be tweaked to make your own sound). Yeah, it may be "the sleeper" DAW" but more and more people are waking up to the joy of making music with Mixcraft!!
