Criminally underrated, .
Been using FL Studio for 10+ years, but wanted to switch to a more linear type DAW, and after testing Waveform, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper and Acid Pro, i stumbled upon Mixcraft almost by mistake and decided to give it a try.
Ive paid $299 for FL Studio at the time, and recently paid $30 for Mixcraft during a promotion, and i havent touched FL Studio for almost 3 months and i probably gonna keep on using Mixcraft from now on as my only DAW.
So what's so special about it? It's easy to use, i found that I'm able to compose faster that i could in FL Studio, and it has some very nice features such as:
- instrument stacking on every channel (with note and velocity filters).
- global modulation system, .
- easiest side chaining and MIDI routing that I've ever seen.
- one knob compressor and saturation on every mixer track.
- very competent performance panel a-la Bitwig.
This is a great and full featured DAW, and fact that nowadays i rather use it than use FL Studio which i invested much more money in, speaks for itself.
Read ReviewShout out your comments regarding Mixcraft. I recently purchased Mixcraft. I tried the demo some time ago, but I was waiting for a version change or price break to buy. Mixcraft just came out with Version 6.0. More importantly to me, Acoustica lowered the price of Mixcraft Pro Studio 5 to $99.99 USD WITH free upgrade rights to 6.0. That's basically only $25 more than basic Mixcraft. I bought Pro Studio because I wanted the ME80 synth. I have to admit though, the Pianissimo piano is pretty neat too.

Thanks to the Acoustica and Mixcraft team for this great update in version 10. The subtle improvements have been selected to perfection and the stability of the VST3 is fantastic. The scalable functionality for 4K and 8K monitors works impressively well. The improved design fonts are perfect. The mixer in the clear track looks formidably clear and accurate. Maybe the faders need a little tweaking to be accurate. The MIDI quanization is superior to Pro-Tools thanks.
And for me the most important thing is that when you export to 24-bit WAV the final sample has the same quality as the project inside the DAW !!!! A substantial improvement that leaves FL Studio behind (the mixdown sounds terrible if you compare it to the original), the same Studio One, the mixdown sounds dull and without dynamics. Mixcraft is out of this world! Thanks GREG and the Mixcraft Dev team.
