You want new users to jump right in and feel that the program is intuitive. For starters, the interface is very similar to previous versions (and let’s face it, to many DAWs you may have used), which is not a bad thing at all. So, what’s new? Well, lots, but here are some of the things that Acoustica has made special note of, and that we think are worth touching upon. Both packages offer up a ridiculously tantalizing set of features, and at such low prices that for most people reading this, it probably makes sense just to go for the Pro Studio bundle since it’s just too good a deal to pass up. After about two years on the market with version 7, Acoustica has released Mixcraft 8, available in two versions: Recording Studio for the home/bedroom user and Pro Studio for the more demanding, pro-level user. When we first checked out Mixcraft, the Windows-only DAW built primarily for the home recording market, we were pretty impressed with not only how easy it was to get setup, but also the powerful features that came bundled at the ridiculously low price point. How did we like the low-cost Windows-based DAW, and how does it improve upon version 7? Read our full analysis below.
