Printing any kind of score is pretty much impossible, but some folks have luck with single parts.īTW if you do lots of Kontakt tracks, 16 GB is a bit thin RAM-wise. The second is the notation module is primitive. The two weaknesses IMO are the inability to draw lines and curves in CC# automation and curves in host automation. They are almost identical to the pricey DAW (And easier to implement). I use sends to apply all my early reflections. A lot of the routing is done automatically wheras I have to do ALL the routing in my premium DAW. The signal routing question is hard to answer depending on what you want. I don't use many Waves plugins but those I do work just fine. Up until 5.2 the plugin would crash inside Mixcraft but leave the DAW intact. 5.4 is as stable as Kontakt gets in any DAW that being said on rare occasions It does crash, usually because of user error but at those times takes Mixcraft with it. I use 5.4 as anything beyond that seems to be not quite ready for prime time according to feedback from different forums. PLUS ( and a big one) if any issues do crop up the Acoustica team usually has a fix in a matter of days, rather than weeks or months elsewhere.Ībout 80% of my work is done with 3rd party Kontakt instruments. I also work in one of the high-end DAWs and Mixcraft is as if not more stable. In case it matters, I'm using a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit PC with an i7 2.7 ghz CPU, 16 GB of RAM and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB interface.

any 'caveats, 'gotchas' etc ) I should be aware of?īy the way, I'm aware of but frankly uninterested in the bundled FX and instruments while I'm sure they're good, I already have all the 3rd party VSTs for that I'll ever need. Do you know if that integrates with Mixcraft 8? I have Melodyne Editor 3, which is more powerful than the bundled Melodyne Essential. Are the FX parameter envelope automation and signal routing (use of send busses etc) functionality up to scratch? How stable and predictable is it? I ask as my current DAW, Sonar Platinum - while it has a great theoretical feature list - fails miserably on this score it is in fact why I am considering jumping ship to another DAW. Still, I am interested in users' opinions on these items, which matter most to me, I know I can try the demo myself I likely will.
