The Famous Windows DAW Looks and Sounds Better Than Ever
Acoustica Mixcraft has been a favorite Windows-based DAW for many professionals since its introduction in 2004, thanks to its loaded features and ease of use. Mixcraft 10.5 Recording Studio is one of the latest iterations (alongside Pro Studio), and it takes Mixcraft to new heights. There’s 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 Recording Studio 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 Recording Studio is available to qualified educational organizations only. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.
