Esteban Villanova Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I wonder if version 10 will drop soon. They've been working on it for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Acoustica Greg: Quote Update: it being August already, it's starting to look like Mixcraft 10 won't be ready until next year (2023). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveiv Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 I feel they scored enough capital from their Cherry Audio products to invest in Mixcraft to make it a serious contender in the DAW world. It's been growing steadily since the beginning, but 10 should be a great leap forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Like it myself especially on my laptop. I'll definitely be checking it out when it releases. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I never really gelled with it, even though I got the v9 upgrade for $29 (or was it $19?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywtelejazz Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There is no such thing as a proper way to preview Midi Files in Mixcraft . I hardly consider it a time saver to have no way of auditioning small drum loop midi's . Kenny PS I talked to them years ago about this limitation on the old SONAR forum Apparently they thought it was better to Gaslight me than add midi preview .

Magic Russ Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Bitwig is the same way. Their midi preview only plays a simple sine wave, which is useless for auditioning drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm a Mixcraft fan from way back, like v5. It was my main DAW before CbB, but when I got a look at Cakewalk's Console vs. the one in Mixcraft, I was gone. When I mixed in Mixcraft, I did it using the Track/Timeline view because the mixer was so lame. It has some very convenient features that I miss in Cakewalk, but it also lacks many that now seem essential to me, like collapsible lanes. If you have multiple takes on a track and want to reclaim the screen real estate, the only way to do it is to put the track in a folder and then close the folder. I can get things done faster with Mixcraft's workflow, but Cakewalk's features are so much greater. The way that folders=submixes in Mixcraft is brilliant. Drag all your guitar tracks to a folder, boom, instant submix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Cakewalk's mixer better than Mixbus'. There are some features about Mixcraft's track view and comping I like, but Cakewalk has an edge due to better handling of clip grouping.

I just can't seem to get into the MIDI workflow and piano roll in Cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
