Mixcraft is a digital audio workstation for Windows, developed by Acoustica since its first release in April 2004. It is as a digital audio workstation, MIDI sequencer, virtual instrument host, non-linear video arranger, and music loop recording program.
Versions
Acoustica has developed two versions of Mixcraft:
- Mixcraft Recording Studio: The default version of the music software and currently download-only. The included features are unlimited audio, MIDI, video, and virtual instrument tracks. The recording studio has a loop library of 7,000 loops, samples, and sound effects.
- Mixcraft Pro Studio: The professional version that offers more variety in virtual instruments and audio effects. The product has been promoted for the use of professional musicians, producers, and engineers.
Features
- MIDI: Support for MIDI data played on one or more MIDI controller keyboards.
- VSTi Support: Allows virtual instruments to be played, sequenced, and recorded via MIDI data. (Includes VST 3).
- Multitrack Recording: Allows for recordings to be created simultaneously from multiple sound card or audio interface inputs simultaneously.
- Performance Clip Sequencing: Similar to Ableton and Bitwig, it supports pattern clip–based arrangement.
- Tempo Matching: This feature attempts to detect the tempo and key of a pre-recorded audio file, and changes the tempo to match the project tempo.
- Audio Time Stretching & Pitch Shifting: Mixcraft claims to use an advanced algorithm to provide high quality time stretching and pitch shifting while minimizing CPU usage.
- Multiple Import/Export Formats: Supporting MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, FLAC, and AIFF file formats.
- Video Sequencing: Editing, Image Additions, Font Additions, Automation, and Effects (Supports MP4, AVI, and WMV etc files.).
