The gui looks alot friendlier than reaper though.

I'm going to try it out for my bootcamp partition, what the heck!
I can vouch right now and say it ISN'T the master at anyone thing but user friendliness. I have yet to of found a heavy performing software that is as well designed in layout and friendliness as Mixcraft.

However, michi_mak is right. The new version does seem a bit buggy, as I was working on a song last night after upgrading to see what the new functions are like and it crashed on several occasions. If you want to get a feel for Mixcraft, I would recommend demoing Mixcraft 5 since it is stable. The interface of 5 isn't as sleek looking, but it is set up the same as Mixcraft 6.

Mixcraft's video features are pretty impressive. I didn't particularly like the audio workflow but I don't think I'm the target audience.

Nice product, especially for that kinda money. Good deal.

P.S. You kinda get a feel for the base audience by looking at their web page where they remind potential buyers that the things you need to make music are optional... :)

.. but it's a fine product with (apparently) good developers.

A very good product. I have had no problems with it. I have been using it for about a month now. Dead easy to learn and use. If you want a DAW that doesn't have a very steep learning curve, then I would recommend Mixcraft 6.

I think they are still included on the Computer Music cover disc each month, which is cheaper than mixcraft 6, doesn't crash, and is great for wiping your arse on.
