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.
