Larry Shelby Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 See this chart for prices, starting at $29 https://www.acoustica.com/cgi/upgrade.php?p=16&fbclid=IwAR095C6EGjaMFq6rc5CnMkI6cxSbk0TH82ivvGtHyZoG2c6-I7KmfFBUpK0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ628 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Oddly enough, it's cheaper to buy the studio version of 8 on sale (currently $49) and upgrade to pro for $29 (total: $78) than to buy pro on sale for $99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ628 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Does anyone know if the ME80 and Memorymoon synths are locked to Mixcraft? Can you use them in other DAWs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 You can use Memorymoon and ME80 wherever you like, and as a matter of fact very few of the bundled plug-ins are locked to Mixcraft. I think the tonewheel organ clone is, but I don't care much for it anyway. AIR's DB-33 is a much superior alternative that may be had for $20 on sale. There is an antique version of Lounge Lizard Session that is also locked, but Dead Duck E-Piano whips its butt as well and is freeware. I have Pro Studio. I love Pianissimo, their grand piano, so just getting that is great, and the Studio Drums can be used in Cakewalk and elsewhere. Another of my favorites is the g-Sonique Psychedelic Tape Delay, which must be heard to be believed. The MIDI recording and editing may appeal to some compared to Cakewalk, and with MIDI it's easy to do work in one and transfer it over. Mixcraft is Rewireable, as far as I know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ628 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks for that info. It might be worth giving a shot at that price just for the included synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyJ628 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) You can actually do better than that. Order Mixcraft 8 Home Studio at Amazon for $30 and upgrade to the big version for $29. Total: $59. Dang, that's a deal. EDIT: Note that the Amazon order is a physical delivery so you'll have to wait for it to arrive.

Starise Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 This is a very nice program. Maybe not so much for payed recording studios as home studio enthusiasts, although to a point it can tow the line even better than a few on some things. I find myself going back to it for different things here and there. Definitely worth the upgrade. Their support is pretty good too. Handles Melodyne, has lots of effects and synths. Should be something there to get anyone started making music. Loop content is decent.Above average video handling for a DAW. It ios rather unusual to have the plugins not be tied to the program like almost everyone else has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyJ628 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I got my copy of Mixcraft Home Studio 8 via mail from Amazon for $30 and have now successfully upgraded it to Pro 8 for $29. Can't beat that deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I got my Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio back in the dark days of SPlat. I wonder if I can transfer the license (for free) and sell the product (for say $50)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bapu, One of the reasons I never bought it was because I found out that they don't allow it to be re-sold or license transfers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 So I'm stuck with it. That's OK. I've spent more on dinner and a movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's because so many bought it after the demise of Cakewalk Inc., then decided they didn't need it after the BandLab rescue? I still think it has its use. It's pretty good with video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I still wonder what's in 'that' folder! Is Mixcraft and Mixbuss the same people? Edited April 28, 2019 by Grem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
