Electronic Music Magazine Mixcraft 6 Review
Mixcraft has fast, smooth workflow and tons of content. It’s set apart by video capabilities that beat any music DAW, regardless of price. If anything ever qualified as the “direct-from-garage-to-YouTube” program, this is it.
Recording Magazine Mixcraft 6 Review
Finally, a feature-rich DAW that almost anyone can use (without a manual)! This is a remarkable product at a very reasonable price.

Harmony Central Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 Review
[Mixcraft] has always had the reputation for being inexpensive and easy to use, and pulled off the delicate balancing act of being powerful enough to be satisfying, yet intuitive enough not to be frustrating. Mixcraft 6 manages to keep that balancing act alive, despite adding more depth and power.

NZ Musician Mixcraft 6 Review
Mixcraft 6 is so user friendly you may wonder why other DAWs don’t have some of the features it has. For example, what other program do you know that has a handy guitar tuner built into every track?
