![]() ![]() We each have our own computers, and time between sessions to nut out arrangements, crank mixes/etc(even lo-tech' guy will have a bash at his daughter's DJ thing-y once in a while). One loves FLStudio(I still can't make any sense of that one), and the third just listens for the click, & that's about as high-tech' as he's comfortable with.Īnd that's all quite OK. One loves Caustic3, because it's user-friendly & can be programmed on the fly. I'm nothing special, and my collaborators are no dunderheads. They love that once we're all hooked up, I can just hit record & ignore the stupid computer 'til we're done playing, but they just can't get their own heads around it. ![]() None of my collaborators were quite so impressed with Reaper. End of story.įor example, I've been a Reaper guy for over a decade now, and that's because it just made sense to me, right off' the bat. The best DAW for you, is the DAW that works for you. I hated Cubase with a fucking passion, I could never wrap my head around protools, Ableton just gave me the ever-loving shits, and FLStudio can just get fuck-fuck-fuckity-fucked. I utterly despised MixCraft myself, but that's not MixCraft's fault. Their various selling-points are more commonly to do with how they gel with individual workflows, than any technical stuff in the DAW's inner workings. I'd rather buy and learn a new DAW from day 1 if it's worth it.Īll DAW packages do pretty much the same thing. I just don't want to invest a ton of time into a DAW that, despite purchasing it, won't be sufficient to get the job done as well as its peers. So what's the deal with Mixcraft? Is it incredibly unpopular because it's just nowhere near as good, or capable, as other DAWs? Or is it just that it's the unfashionable kid on the block?Īny feedback appreciated. In my naivety, some months back, I purchased Mixcraft so now feel kinda committed, as I've checked the prices out for other DAWs and can see how expensive they are. I assumed this would be the case with most DAWs today, so I tried trial versions (and am still trying them) of Cubase, Reaper, Sonus (whatever its full name is), FL Studio, Ableton Live and Reason.įor some reason, I wasn't able to get to grips with ANY of them without reading/watching a tutorial first. ![]() Recently I gave Mixcraft a shot and whilst just doing other stuff, found it unbelievably easy to use in terms of arrangement, MIDI editing and just generally building the basics. I last messed around with Cubase 20 something years ago, but didn't have a good PC so with all the latency I kinda gave up. ![]()
