"Mixcraft does everything I want it to -a great recording program at a quality price. I'm thoroughly pleased with its performance and quality. Way to go Mixcraft!!!"
–Chad
"Ive been REBORN with Mixcraft -a former Ableton Live 7 user. Mixcraft is friendly to the bone!!"
–Brian Galarze
"This software is great. It's easy to use and has all the right capabilities for a basic home studio. Nice job."
–Rob Cantu
"Never in my recording life have I ever found software that produces pristine, quality recordings. Recorded our CD with it, check it out at: myspace/themlprojectmusic and myspace/tribongfelipe. With Mixcraft, recording, editing and mixing is a breez, no manual necessary. Just play around with the software and you'll get it. People ask me as to which professional recording studio we used, my entire studio is practically a Zoom H4 plugged into the mic input of my computer (not even USB), and Mixcraft 3. It's literally plug and play. God Bless and more power to everyone at Acoustica."
–Marc Salvador
"I cannot believe this software! I've been shopping online for comparable programs; all of which cost hundreds -Ableton, Sony Acid, Cubase, PC Tools, Reason, FL Studio, ect. And here I find the MOST PERFECT SOFTWARE -JUST WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED and for UNDER $100.00 bucks! This is absolutely phenomenal! I downloaded the trial, plugged in my M-Audio USB keyboard and everything worked PERFECTLY! WOW! I am going to tell everyone I know about your software! Thank you so much for developing it. I'm an ex-Mac and Garage Band user and I've missed it so much! Finding your software was like a miracle!"
–Cathy
"This seems like a great program, I've only used it for 30 minutes and can see that I've barely touched all the features...5 stars for this program!!!"
–Michael
"Just got Mixcraft 4.5 up and running...I didn't think this program was gonna replace my Cakewalk DAW but that Sonar stuff may collect some digital dust for a spell. Mixcraft 4.5 is sweet! Ok, gotta hit it and then get some shut-eye..."
–Hogscald
"Thanks again for all your help and support...product is so awesome. I am trying to convert a Cubase user to your system. He has so much cash tied up in it and he hammers me on my recordings since I have as good or better quality, faster setup and quicker preproduction and final mix then he does. (He used a laptop too! but it has totally swamped his processor..yours is very easy on the CPU. I have done the tests. Props to your code writers..)"
–Jim
"Steve Thompson in WA bought your Mixcraft and has been using it to make radio shows for our full power FM station in Montana.
I downloaded a free demo to try and it was pretty easy to learn.
Thought it wouldn't work fast enough on my MacBook Pro under
Windows XP running in Virtual Machine (Parallels) but absolutely no delays! Zip worked just like it should and fast. "
–Rick (KVRZ-FM)
Libby, Montana
"I wanted to write to say that I absolutely love your program. I have been using Mixcraft since 2003. I will definitely be in line to purchase mixcraft 5 when and if it is made. Thanks for all the hard work."
–Steve
"I have been making music for over 15 years now. I use midi equipment and used to use an external sequencer until I discovered Mixcraft 4. Mixcraft has so many sounds and loops with such good quality that I don't always use my midi equipment anymore. Mixcraft lets you edit sounds almost limitless. I have made some of the best musuc I've ever made with Mixcraft 4. The program is so easy to use I was a pro within the 1st few hours, although I'm still learning new features. I recommend Mixcraft 4 to anyone from the pros to the begginers. Trust me, the price is very reasonable! It doesn't get any better than this!!"
–Patrick
"All I can say is wow. MC4 is far more powerful than 2 or 3. I was using a separate midi sequencer to make up for the lack of piano roll in MC2, which was very tedious. Now with the piano roll, I've been adding synth parts without having to sync and outside source. Its awesome! I really like the more loop friendly environment and ease of recording. I haven't found anything that is not an upgrade from Mixcraft 2. I also cannot find anything I don't like about the product yet."
–Brian
"I just wanted to post my congratulations on producing such a great piece of music recording software. I've been looking for an audio solution that combined the ease of use of Audacity / Garage Band, but with the added functionality of Cubase - Mixcraft does all this and more.
Due to it's incredibly intuitive design I have found it much easier & quicker to get my ideas recorded - Mixcraft just allows me to get on with the actual playing without having to mess with a hundred different settings first.
Thanks once again - I would highly recommend your product to anyone."
–David
"Hey, Acoustica!
Long, long time ago, I had your early product, Internet Audio Mix. I loved it because it was so easy to use. I remembered Acoustica and was so jazzed to find your site again!Wow, have you guys grown!
I downloaded a free trial of Mixcraft and have played with it a little. Even though it's a lot more fancy, more features, it still is so easy. Well done, and thank you, thank you! I will be purchasing the product. I feel like I've found a long lost friend!
Anyway, thanks for serving wonderful products."
–Becky
"Even if you aren't looking to record on your PC, buy Mixcraft for the instruments that come with it!! The Instruments sound INCREDIBLE! I'd buy it just for the V3 (Hammond B3)!!! It's the most incredible B emulator I've ever played on! Everything is perfect the Hammond and the Leslie sound. Your mod wheel on your keyboard will change the speed of the leslie. My DX7 mod wheel is not spring loaded, so it's perfect, roll up for fast, and down for slow.
This is just one feature I love. Then there's the new stereo piano...... I have paid more than $64.95 for a time stretch program. Mixcraft's is better. If anything, buy Mixcraft to download songs and time stretch them down for learning fast solos. I could go on and on..."
–Lance Armstrong
"Mixcraft has got to be among the most money-wise sound mixing programs out there, hands-down.. Using it, I've created everything from rock, to techno, to classical and more. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for that special program that really gives them more bang for their buck!"
–Adam Austin
"It's the best music software I have ever seen. You can create a very nice song within an hour. You can plug midi, microphone to help you create a future hit. If you don't have any instrument talent, you can create a song with the loops. (I use that a lot) It's a very complete software."
–Lukas Foisy
"This program is very friendly for a guitarist. It does alot but you don't have to be an audio engineer to be able to use the program. I originally downloaded the program with fake key codes but I found the program so useful and the cost so low that I had to pay for this great product. You really get the bang for the buck with Mixcraft, give it a try!"
–Daniel C (Lakeland Fl)
"I've used other more costly DAWs. But I have to recommend Mixcraft because of its very affordable price and ease of use. It has everything you need to start making and recording QUALITY music right away. Just listen to the included demo songs to get an idea of what you can achieve. High quality -- low price! What more could you ask for?"
–Dennis Gali (Scotland)
"I recently got into making music on a computer. I researched for several months for a high-quality DAW, and tested many, many programs, including Fl Studio, Live, and many other popular programs. I finally stumbled across Mixcraft. I downloaded the demo and my jaw dropped. The quality and features of the program was unbelievable! Not only that, I was preparing to spend $500+ on a program when Mixcraft only cost $65! The more I used the demo, the more sure I was that this was the best program. It is so capable yet so simple! No more wasting time scrolling through hordes of almost unusable features! I quickly bought Mixcraft 4. I am now on the way to buying a Mixer and starting a band. Thank you to Acoustica, and keep it up!"
–Robert B.
"Hey guys! Just stoppin' by to say hey and thanks again for killer software. Now my album is on eMusic, and will be in in ten more stores by early August, including iTunes. Having Mixcraft eliminated expensive studio time for me...for that, I am very grateful! Cheers!"
"I found your product after nearly four weeks of absolute frustration with Sonar 6. I'm sure Sonar is a great product but I'm a musician not a sound engineer. Sonar isn't "user friendly" especially if you're not well-versed in technical talk regarding mixers, tracks, tempos, modulations, etc. Anyway, Mixcraft is very easy to use and understand. Very easy. I downloaded the "free trial" and recorded three tracks less than ninety minutes later. That was two days ago and today I came upon your software at Musicians Friend, so I bought it. This truly is a great product, and extremely easy to use and understand. Having your own sound studio does not have to be complex. All one needs to do is buy Mixcraft."
–Larry G.
In my opinion, Mixcraft is the most powerful software for its price. I certainly can't afford expensive recording equipment; this program was worth every penny. I have been able to create studio quality songs with just my laptop, guitar, and microphone. When I talk to my friends, I am practically a sales representative for mixcraft. I brag about the features, the price, the power. But best of all, I can show off my own creations. Thanks to Mixcraft for bringing the ability to record yourself down to the home level.
–Duff (GA)
"I am a beginner in terms of recording, and Mixcraft is unbelievably simple and user friendly. Every time I use Mixcraft, I learn how to do something new -I will never use anything else. Not only is Mixcraft easy to use, but it has so many useful and advanced features -I will definitely be purchasing each new revision of this amazing program. The value for the money is ridiculous, for about 100 bucks you get a fully capable mixing/recording program, Audio Converter Pro, Beatcraft, and more. Mixcraft is the best deal out of the whole package, I would have paid 100 bucks for that alone. I am more than happy with this product, I only wish I would have known about it sooner."
–Joel
"Based on Mixcraft's ease of use, quality output, great customer service, and enormous savings I decided to buy Mixcraft 3 (recently upgraded to 4). For the impatient musician, such as myself, Mixcraft 4 fills my needs excellently. The response I get from Mixcraft is so great that leaving each recording session is hard to do. Mixcraft 4 is impressive every time I use it, so many new surprises. I am now able to compose, record, and produce competitive CD's, in no time at all. With the capability I get from Mixcraft, my job as music director has become much easier.
More power to Acoustica and it's staff, and thanks for coming up with such an innovative and perfect tool designed for musicians like me."
–Rey, Hawaii
"What can I say? I am a repeat customer, first having bought the Mixcraft 3/Beatcraft package a few years back. I had been run through the ringer with other studio programs, often finding them too difficult to understand, quickly getting frustrated and intimidated, then finally axing them.
Then I found Mixcraft. With the free 7-day trial, I figured what the heck...well, 4 hours into the free 7 day trial, I bought the bundle. Now please understand that I'm from the analog days of radio and music recording, so I'm an old school splicer and dicer. I used to pay $100 an hour for 8 track studio time back in the 80's, and when I discovered the cut, paste, and loop features of Mixcraft, I was grinning from ear to ear. Nothing could be easier and the quality was fantastic! No more re-doing an entire track because I messed up a chord at the end of a song.
Now out comes Mixcraft 4. I would have purchased this program regardless, but because Acoustica recognizes the importance customer loyalty, they offered me a discount for being a repeat customer. I figured "Hey, a discount...great...save a few bucks!" Wasn't I pleasantly blown away when the fine folks at Acoustica informed me that my upgrade was FREE because I had previously purchased the Mixcraft 3/Beatcraft bundle.
Customer support? The BEST! If there is a bug in the program, rest assured they already have a fix ready for download or they are working on a fix. They always seem to be ahead of the game....oh, and questions and concerns? Those are met by real, friendly, and extremely helpful human beings, not computers.
Buy it.....it's simple, VERSATILE, and will make you feel proud of yourself when you listen to your finished products.
Thanks again, Acoustica....you have earned a customer for life!!"
–Gary G. Mobile, Alabama
"Dear Mixcraft, you are so amazing. I am really inspired to have this program for my work. I am so impressed by the effects, the loops and everything! Love the prices. Very good. I can't find any other program on the Web that is easier than this. You make this look very simple and easy. You guys are amazing, and I will soon buy this product. Thank you so much Acoustica! Thanks for making such a great product!"
–Josh, USA
"I'm a DJ but I also produce drops/intros for other dj's. I usually use Sound Forge and Acid to produce but I recently installed Vista and Sound forge was giving me issues. I searched online for an alternative and I stumbled onto you site. I tried it out and bought it a week later. Simple to use and offers everything that Sound Forge a $300 program has."
–Damon, Pittsburgh
"Not a shill, I just want to say I have now various demo programs loaded for evaluation--Reason, Fruity, Tracktion, Reaper, Renoise, Orion, etc-- and Mixcraft is truly impressive among them. Factoring price MC smokes them all, IMO. I can see that the more expensive programs have "more" sounds and knobs, but how much is usable? As yet, I haven't tried any better program for constructing songs. If you play how much time can you spend designing a sound? I intend to use Mixcraft with Riffworks for making guitar loops, and I assume I can tweak VST synths-- with all those knobs like you see in Reason or Fruity--outside of MC--and then bring the tweaked sound into Mixcraft. Don't know about movie soundtracks, and other such complicated adventures, but Mixcraft is an amazing deal."
–John
"I've now had my first proper play around with the Mixcraft demo. My laptop's been poorly for a while with a dodgy hard drive.
This product really has been designed to be easy to use. The help files explain to you in straightforward terms how to configure your machine, e.g. installing appropriate sound drivers.
When I plugged in my MIDI keyboard, it worked first time without any configuration required.
There is a wide range of decent virtual instruments. This includes all the ones you'd expect, such as pianos, strings, etc., plus ones like pulsating sounds (popular on analogue-modeling synths) and drum kits.
Mixing down to MP3 was easy too.
It looks likely I'll buy this."
–Rupert
"Thanks so much, I have gotten 3 other people over the last year to take Mixcraft and I just emailed them and told how great you were about this. One of them just bought 4 and that is how I found out about you even having 4 out. I think a lot of your company and I have music on the web created with Beatcraft and Mixcraft at www.rontomlinsonsmusic.com and you are welcome to use any as an example how someone with NO experience in recording or mixing can produce professional sounding songs with Mixcraft after only 6 months of hard work. Mixcraft is the most user friendly mixer on the market today and I have bought 3 of them and paid a lot of money but always go back to Mixcraft. I have tried a lot of other compressors , even Waves comp series and found none that works better than Acoustica's Compressor. If you want to use this as a testimonial be my guest."
–Ron Tomlinson
Quite possibly one of the best simple recording programs out there. Perfect for home studios!!! I use it in my home studio and it gives me fast and great results with no harm done to my wallet!
-Nick

Mixcraft 4 is great! Unfortunately it has dragged me back to using a PC instead of my Mac, I only wish Garageband was this good!
-Geoff
I have been wanting Midi and now I can do it all with the new Mixcraft 4. Thanks Acoustica!!!!!
-anonymous
Being a media producer and a singer/songwriter, Mixcraft 4 has pretty much eliminated my need for other multi-track recording devices. Mixcraft 4 will allow me to reduce my production costs in half. I blow the dust of my old gear whenever someone comes by for a tour of the studio. Find out for yourself by trying their 7 day fully functional trial. By the end of the week you will be producing and recording like a pro.
Jon Lovagi, President Outrider Promotions
Mixcraft is the bomb...your #1 fan..
-Michael Glover
Excellent program, i managed to record a song with live sounds, built in loops and midi in no time at all. Everything blends seamlessly. mixcraft takes all the hard work out of recording music so it can be fun again and not a chore!
-Jason Scurr
I don't know what I would do without the help of Mixcraft 4! Thanks Mixcraft!
-Adam
...I was using Sonar 5, but never had the patience with it to do what I can do with Mixcraft 3....Every conceivable idea, seems to have been thought of. So to sum up...Mixcraft 3 is the best digital audio creation software available...
Dave / united kingdom
As a middle-aged man with two kids in private school, a mortgage, a long commute and a leaky roof I needed an inexpensive easy to use recording program that would work on an older PC. Mixcraft and Beatcraft are the real deal - easy to use and the results are great...This is the best value in software period. Thanks.
Bob Dodge / santa fe, new mexico
I have been using Goldwave for a couple years and I always avoided the big guys since they were so complicated but, Goldwave was just toooo simple. It didn't do much at all so I called my son (the musician) and he got me to download Mixcraft. I have had it for thirty minutes as a demo, I haven't read a manual or done anything but poke around. I have almost 7 days left on the demo and I can't wait to send you money! I keep tripping into new things that I wish were in my previous software. This is amazing! I don't know if you are a small or large company but you have done a heck of a job. I can't wait to read the manual.
- Chuck Bonasera Dublin, Ca
I have used Mixcraft and Beatcraft in hundreds of lessons over the past few months. First off, I have had no down time or funky/unexplained crashes since I initially set it up. That reliability is SO important! As a Music Instructor at Streetwise Music in Indian Trail NC, I find the included 'Jam Tracks' alone have added value to my work. I can load a jam track, plug my student into another track and we ROCK! At the end of the lesson, they can load their recorded MP3 onto a CD or a memory stick and judge their progress for themselves. I have had several of my students download the trial and just rave about the product whenever we are in a lesson...in fact, I just looked, and some of my students are on your MySpace page! Thank you for making such an awesome and reliable solution for a busy music instructor and an easy to use, inexpensive program for anyone who would like to experience computer recording. Best Regards, Jim Hickey.
- Jim Hickey Charlotte/Indian Trail, NC
Hi, I was using Sonar 5, but never had the patience with it to do what I can do with Mixcraft 3. If I could design the perfect software with all the little options you don't usually see in other music creation programs, it would be just like at Acoustica. Every conceivable idea that is so useful seem to have been thought of. Even down to the option of saving the individual sounds of a created project to continue the song on a "non-internet pc" which is very considerate (where as Magix Music Studio doesn't let you back up the project at all, their support didn't want to know about it!!!). So to sum up...Mixcraft 3 is the best digital audio creation software available (for those who want to spend their time recording music straight away-not spending hours figuring how to do it.) Regards,
- Dave United Kingdom
I really love the Mixcraft 3! Wow! Did you know, Acoustica Mixcraft 3 is the best Music Making Software I had ever seen? Wow! Very easy to use, without any help or been taught, you can easily create an outstanding party pops, rock, dance and many much more with Acoustica Mixcraft 3 !
- Oge Godwin Asia
Hi there, I just bought your Acoustica Mixcraft software because after trying the demo version I knew I couldn't go on without it. Believe me, I have tried a lot of recording software and this is the very first time I really think I have all my money's worth and beyond. It's so well done, tons of quality features, true 24 bits multi-track recording and mixing, and to top it all the learning curve is very easy. I, too, believe that learning how to use a software should be easy, I have tried other programs that really made me wonder what the hell the developers were thinking. Especially for musicians like me who want to sit down and record in a snap just when the inspiration strikes and not to have to wonder and mess around for eons just to find the basic functions like some other software do. I know I may sound like a paid advertiser here but no, I'm just a guy who is really happy to use what I honestly think to be the best recording software for a computer based personal home studio. Long live Acoustica Mixcraft! You guys rock.
- Stephane Blache Quebec, Canada
Mixcraft 3 is a very powerful program. It turns your audio into clay, and your mouse into a chisel. I have been using audio software from a number of companies for a few years now, and Mixcraft right from the start is the easiest to use, but not at the expense of functionality! The support for VST and Direct X plug-ins allows you to customize your virtual mixer. A pleasure to look at now too! Nice visual layout! I like seeing my own instruments and gear as the track icons, very cool. I can't even think of anything to improve this program now. The price cannot be beat. Thanks a lot guys!
- Johnny Pavacic Toronto Canada
I have already used Mixcraft for years and it was so easy that I could crank out recording while drinking a cup of coffee. I used to be scared of recording until I tried Mixcraft. After downloading Mixcraft 3 I was amazed! How much easier can it get than this? Everything is clearly labeled, and it's so easy to choose effects that happen to be fantastic sounding! I was also floored by how nice the new interface is. I love the new 'high end' look that Mixcraft sports! Mixcraft, you guys are the best, and some day, if I record a hit, I'm going to publicly thank Acoustica. By the way, for right now, Thank you, Mixcraft!
- Will Hanbury, Jr. Sitka, Alaska
As a middle-aged man with two kids in private school, a mortgage, a long commute and a leaky roof I needed an inexpensive easy to use recording program that would work on an older PC. Mixcraft and Beatcraft/Mixcraft are the real deal - easy to use and the results are great (except for my singing and playing). I had a little trouble re-installing the software when my hard drive crashed but your technical support was quick and accurate. This is the best value in software period. Thanks.
- Bob Dodge Santa Fe, New Mexico
I've been using Mixcraft since the first Version and, compared to ALL the other software I've tried out, MixCraft has given me the best output. It's user friendly and it's support team is truly helpful. MixCraft's third version is like a dream come true! That sleek look, the easy access to everything you need, the snap snap snap and you're done recording, everything about it is fantastic! Not to mention it's $49 price tag! I'm only 16, but with MixCraft, I can do mixes like professionals! Bow down to the MixCraft team. Thanks guys for making music production such a breeze! It's helped me keep busy on boring days, do my mixes or school plays and the likes, entertain my friends and even record songs! :)
- Pauline de Lange Philippines
After trying to the demo version for a couple weeks, I had to buy this software. Much easier to use than the so called higher end mixing/recording software. And the price is about a 1/4th that of the others at the very least. As a person who hates taking hours or days to figure out how to use a product, Mixcraft and Beatcraft is a dream come true. And sound quality in final mixes is second to none! Thanks Acoustica for a great product. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants great quality recordings and at an affordable price!
- Dorian Edmisson USA
mixcraft rocks!!! this is by far the best bang for the buck on the market today, simple to use, and ya can't beat the price. if you were to buy an fx rack to compare w/ everything you get here for free plus the studio equipment, you could easily spend into the tens of thousands of dollars which we all know musicians don't have. i recorded my first mixcraft 3 project in less than 3 hours and 1/2 of that was reading the forum & tutorials- which are better than any support i've found w/ anything i've ever bought. so for less than a nascar race beer budget you can get the best digital recording software, drum sets (i lost count after 6),and music production software & support on the market plus it's so damn easy to use- point, click,& play.. bang - ya just laid down a track that simple - thanx mc- ya made my life easy. r.l.c.

I am a middle school special education teacher and I have been using music in my lessons for years. Mixcraft has been an effective and economical tool in the recording of music specific to my teaching. Educating today's students is a special challenge, especially in language arts. It has been my goal to find new ways to connect with my students, and to provide them with experiences that generate real learning. The use of music, and video in teaching are effective tools in that regard.
- Steven MacIntosh Aztec, NM
Thank you Mix craft. I have used Mixcraft for awhile now, and recently upgraded to the Musicians bundle. I have used numerous recording programs including Pro Tools. Mix craft is by far the most user friendly and produces the best results short of a professional recording studio.
- Pat Naboz
I've been using Mixcraft since version 1, and I thought V2.5 was as good as it could get. I've just upgraded to V3. Brilliant. It's so smooth - I always had the odd bit of lag, even with a fairly grunty Athlon 64. This new version just behaves perfectly. And the eye candy is a pleasure - makes my recent investment in a 24" wide screen totally justified. (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it...)This is my favourite piece of software. Period. You've done a fine job. And it's a true bargain. Regard, Ross from the far south...
- Ross Manson Perth, Australia
I am a song writer who is passionate about his craft. What I am not is a computer analyst who gets his ya-ya’s out by wandering through a quagmire of complex software commands. Having squandered an enormous amount of time attempting to unravel the mysteries involved with operating the so called “high-end, sophisticated” recording software, and having tossed away an equal amount of finances in purchasing them, my creative muse was darn near extinguished. I’m trying to record my music, not launch a spacecraft! I had just about given up when I discovered Acoustica. Finally there is a software company that writes for the needs of the user, musicians, instead of trying to impress other computer programmers with their operational sophistication. When I first opened the inter-face screen for Cakewalk Sonar, my first thought was “Oh @#&%, I’ve bought a Rubik's cube”. Then my brain went numb. With Acoustica, I got immediate usability. It’s so intuitive that I only looked at the tutorials to verify what I already deduced. Finally I have software that promotes my creative side instead of suppressing it with a Mount Everest learning curve. Mixcraft has all the tools I need and more. It's just incredible. I've been telling everyone about your programs. Thanks Acoustica, keep up the good work because “if you build it, I will come”.
- C. Zadak Atlanta, GA
I am a professional pianist/keyboardist of over 29 years. Mixcraft is awesome. I wanted software that was of great quality, and very easy to use. I have tried Cakewalk Sonar Producer Edition 5, and 6, but their software got in the way of the creative process by being to complicated. Mixcraft has all the others beat for being able to lay down tracks quickly and easily with just the right editing tools to make a professional recording. Keep it up Mixcraft, ROCK ON!
- Tony Stanley Adel, Georgia
I am so glad I decided to buy MIXCRAFT after my trial was nearing it's end. I have created 16 original songs already in a 2 week period. I like jazz/funk/blues. I have been able to make professional sounding demo's that, after listening to them they have taken a life of all their own! I am now able to create things I would have never been able to before because of my time schedule. But I spend a few hours each night recording and practicing putting the tracks together and have come out with some really good music. I am very pleased and recommend Mixcraft to anybody who is looking for an easy to use, well designed program for creating music. Like others, I have tried a few other programs, but Mixcraft is so intuitive, I did not even have to read instructions!!! But I will to get the most out of the program. I just picked up an effects pedal for my guitars and I probably won't be using it much because the effects in Mixcraft blow it away. I can't believe the perfect sound and clarity of my recordings. It's scary!!!!!!
Bob Ruzzo Connecticut
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW...BIG IMPROVEMENT!! I've been a DJ for 4 years and keep on using different mixing software's and recently I've been using acid pro 6 which was good and beat matching was alright, BUT when i just took a random visit to your site and saw Mixcraft 3 I was like woooow I GOTTA HAVE THIS, so i bought the product and it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD usually I'm naw a big fan of Mixcraft 1 AND 2 but Mixcraft 3 had eye-catching colors and a lot of features that a lot of mixing software didn't have... GOOOOD JOB IM REALLY HAPPY AND WITH MIXCRAFT 3 I MADE 10 MIXES SO FAR AND GOT THE TOP TEN SPOT THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL MIXING SOFTWARE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
- Niro Scarb, Ontario
I have to write this...I am the best example of someone with the passion to record musical ideas, but no patience for the "rocket science" Pro tools or cake walk...I was so slow learning, that the old school Acoustica mp3 mixer seemed like greek to me...then little by little i started recording things..yet I couldn't get the effect I heard other people doing...then someone turned me on to an "N-Track..and I thought it seemed like the answer..but it wasn't at all.. It just looked "user friendly"...I was just about to give up, when I began to do research on Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer, wondering why it I didn't have any reverb or chorus or what to do about it...and in my search I found the updated version..."Mixcraft"..I downloaded Mixcraft in seconds and in no time, I mean, no time!..I had a crossover blues- bomba hit on my hands...I had an over dose of reverb, which I waited to have for more than 20 years...Mixcraft is so user friendly, it made me wonder why they make it so difficult with the other brands...perhaps the reason is that the people behind those products are not creatively inclined...it takes creativity to make something so powerful run so smooth and simple...That said, I have finally arrived...to the paradise I had searched for so long...
- Victor Morgado Bergenfield, NJ
This is such a terrific program! I am a 59 year old grandmother and since I can figure out how this Mixcraft works, then it would be a walk in the park for the younger generation. I have had so much fun using it these past two days. Thank you so much.
- The Rocking Granny
Sir. I have been using Mixcraft for approx 2 years now and I have to say I have recorded 100's of songs using Mixcraft and every recording has been, crisp, clear and perfect. I have had a song recorded in a real recording studio and no one can tell the difference between Mixcraft and the real studio song. The quality of Mixcraft is so good. I have other computer recording studios, but none of them compare to Mixcraft so I took them off my computer. Thank you for the help you have given me over the last two years, when I lost Mixcraft due to a computer virus and you gave me the code twice to install it again. I have used some of your other products ,and found them simple to use and just perfect for what I needed. Yours Sincerely.

I really never do believe the 'testimonials' nor understand why people bother sending them in, however after running your software Mixcraft and now adding to it the CD/DVD Label Maker, I must say that the software is indeed Class A and I will eat my words. With the help of Mixcraft, we have finally managed to get demos cut onto CD and now we have our first confirmed gig booking with deposit!!!!! Really superb quality at an affordable price and it has opened up a world of opportunities for us. Thanks Heaps,

Mixcraft allowed me to record one of my songs in only three days, and it won honorable mention in an international songwriting contest (Song of the year). Here's the link to the honorable mention: http://www.songoftheyear.com/webawards/j/johnmaltepes.htm . Thanks Mixcraft!

My name is Mike Wilkerson, one of the host of 2GuysTalking.Com, an online podcasting network, and I wanted to thank the creators of Mixcraft for something my partner Brian and I could simply not do without. We currently create 2 podcasts a week, 2GuysTalking: 24, a humorous podcast effort reviewing the hit Fox show, "24", which has received the accolades of not only the actors, but the behind-the-scenes production staff and continues to be a great base for all things "24". Our second podcast is "The LunchTimeGab" which offers a taste of witty personal information stories, our viewpoints on headline news and politics, and the opportunity for fans to chime in on their viewpoints. Mixcraft has offered us a variety of tools that make the compiling of our shows, and even the elements that make up the show straightforward, quick, and more with what is the most easy to use interface in recording software. Again, our thanks to the makers of Mixcraft for their continued efforts in helping us to make a series of great show available for everyone.

I wrote this in the additional comments field when I made the purchase, but it sure is worth repeating in public: I'm in love with a software for the first time. Had Mixcraft been a girl, I would a) ask her to change her name and b) ask her to marry me. This is really, really good!

I recently traded a car that had DSP (digital signal processing) radio to where you could select acoustic effects like hall, stadium etc (reverb or echo effects). I was very disappointed that my new car did not have the DSP!!! I am a baby boomer that grew up with the muscle cars and a big part of our music pleasure (before FM stations) was to have a reverb in your car to give depth and life to your music. To me their is nothing like adding reverb effects to the Motown and Doo Wop music. I searched hard on the Internet to find a program to do exactly what MixCraft does!!! I did not find any other software to compare to Mixcraft. My only other option was to spend about $1,000.00+ for an after Market DSP car stereo. $39.95 is a steal!!! The reverb effects in the Mixcraft program makes my music sound awesome!! The process of saving my music with special effects to MP3 is fast and easy, and just like the site states, I figured the program out without having to read the instructions, the program is that easy. I am totally satisfied. Thanks!!!!
- Ron Florida
Great software! Mixcraft is light, fast and powerful. Best of all, it gets the job done. I bought Mixcraft to mix music on hold after another application couldn't deliver. This product is a breath of fresh air. Thanks guys!

I am the founder of MindSkills http://www.mindskillsonline.com. Among other brain-based learning products and services we produce brain wave entrainment and hypnosis CDs and MP3s - all of which either greatly accelerate learning or target a specific condition. Mixcraft has been quite literally a Godsend as it has enabled us to create the tracks with accuracy and ease. The low cost and high functionality makes this my favorite piece of software - without it my business wouldn't be half of what it is. Thanks Acoustica!
-C. O'Brien MindSkills.com USA
I have completed recording and publishing my first CD GTR4GOd. The ease of use of both Mixcraft and Beatcraft helped minimize time needed to work on my project. The sound quality of the drum kits allowed me to build professional sounding drum sequences and I was very happy with the end result. Mixcraft was a snap to use, was easy to apply effects and very simple to edit any track. Cutting and pasting tracks where a breeze and I was very thankful that Mixcraft was so user friendly. I'm very sure I didn't use all of its power. Kudos to all of those folks at Acoustica for helping me realize my dream!! Thanks!!!
- John Isom Huntsville, AL www.johnisom.com
Mate, Mixcraft rules, mixing PANTERA/IN FLAMES with F1 Cars the Cure with Niel Finn ...awesome stuff lads! I'm able to make my own tracks easily and it would've cost loads more in a studio ,so thank you for an unreal program ILL never sleep again though...keep me cranking MIXCRAFT!!!!!!
- PINEDOG )14'7'06 Adelaide, South Australia
While I'm still trying the free trial version, I must say, Acoustica has done a fine job with Mixcraft. I have never used any audio mixing software before, but after a small learning curve, I found Mixcraft to be a powerful mixing/editing application. It was my goal to mix backing vocals from a monophonic recording, that were missing in a stereo recording. The High and Lowpass cutoff filters came in handy, to keep the monophonic recording from masking the stereo tracks. I was also amazed that editing can be performed on-the-fly. It worked well on a Win ME PC at 866 MHz. Nice work, Acoustica! Recommended.
- John Agnew NJ
Hi to all at Mixcraft!!. I just want to say a big thank you to all the team for putting together this software. It is fantastic with a capital F!!. I have purchased other programs, which are so frustrating to get a grip with and require so much time just to use, it takes the fun out it all. But your Mixcraft program is the complete opposite!!. I'm amazed at how user friendly & easy to get around it is. Its extremely powerful, packed with everything that's needed to both create, edit, mix and burn down. And it's such value for money!!!, it's worth much more. I've just finishing my first solo album & I'm so pleased. I recommend Mixcraft to everyone! This is a must!. Thanks again you guys. Keep up the good work.
- Stewy Milton Keynes
Mixcraft is the simply the best Multi-Track Recording, Editing, Processing and Mastering software for it's craft! Its ease of use compared to the "Industry Standardware" that they call "Tools for today musicians" blows me away every time I use it to compose, perform, record or just jam, with all the available samples, loops, instruments and plug-ins at your fingers it makes it easy for even the beginner budding musician to blossom a little bit faster than the rest!...kt.
- Kevin Toler San Diego, CA
I love this product and this company (I use other Acoustica products as well). I wish all software companies would solicit feedback from users on what to develop and keep making changes that people really need. I have used Mixcraft for years and it keeps getting better. I love the new tempo change algorithm and cannot wait for the day that beat matching makes its debut. As Mixcraft has added features, I have been able to stop using other products one by one and am happy to tell you I am down to only one other program just for the beat matching capabilities. I strongly recommend this easy to use software to anyone who mixes songs. Keep up the good work!
- Mark Whiting USA
I'm a one man operation, and once I found how much it costs to record at studios, I searched the web for something inexpensive. Mixcraft was perfect! I now have my 3rd album recorded at the privacy of my own home, on my own computer! It was cheap, easy, and effective! Thanks so much all of you guys at Acoustica! All the fx and sound options, so much more than I thought I'd get with so little money. have YOU gotten Mixcraft yet?!? YOU SHOULD!!
- Anonymous Collegeville, PA
I just want to thank you for your fantastic, easy-to-use, and affordable product. I have been using Mixcraft and Beatcraft for about a year now and have recorded tons of music with them. I am just starting work on my first album using Mixcraft. Please check out the first couple tracks on MySpace Music: http://www.myspace.com/klfband . Thanks again for the great product. I can't wait for version 3!
- Steve Serdikoff USA
I have tried and even purchased several programs to provide audio functions for the Web, Recording, and Conversion. I must say that there seems to be a misconception among the authors that those who are looking for software are all recording studio engineers and need complete hardware emulations. It is interesting that someone has the intuition to see and put together (in a most user friendly way) the most important and frequently used functions and called it MIXCRAFT. Thanks to you, I may never need to purchase this kind of software again...
- Bill Waters Colorado
Hello, I don't often contact program makers, but I will make a new rule to do so as you seem like a small company. Just letting you guys know that Mixcraft is one kick ass program. I have used other (More expensive) programs before, but never quite liked there huge interface. I like yours as it is sleek and easy to manage. Just saying thanks for a great product.
- Damon
Wow!!! I'm impressed, after trying over 14 programs I came across yours. With in a few minutes I was rolling. You have a great product! I am very pleased how easy it is to use and the FX section is awesome! Finally someone has done something right!!!! Thank you so much for your product!!
- Barry Denver
Hi, I just wanted to say how awesome this software is. I have numerous pro audio software kits at ten times the cost, but this is just fantastic and unbelievably good at the price. I use it for recording live multi tracked sounds for original music production. The reason I love it is for its simplicity and effective performance. Thanks for producing such a wonderful piece of kit, thoroughly recommended.
- Helen
I got Steinberg's CUBASE with my yamaha mixer, what a disaster!!! We downloaded the trial version of ACOUSTICA'S MIXCRAFT and the next week we purchased and downloaded the full version, now my band can record demos and we all have quit taking headache medicine!!! Thanks,
- Jickie Becker "ERSTWHILE" CO Springs, CO
I just want to thank you guys for making the mixing of my CD an absolute joy. Having tried all the freeware and bought the expensive stuff (from Audacity and Kristal to Sonar 5), I can honestly say that the ease with which Mixcraft is used, and the fantastic effects in it are by FAR the best value for money I have ever come across! I have recorded my CD on a digital workstation (Zoom MRS 1266) and transferred the tracks to my pc and then edited and mixed them using your ace product! I didn't think I could find a solution that suited my needs like yours, so once again, a heartfelt thanks and well done. Regards from across the pond, Martin!
- Martin Davies Manchester, England
I just purchased the Mixcraft software a couple of days ago and already it's the most intuitive, user friendly, and feature filled multitrack recording software I've ever used. It's Waaaay better than the most "bundled" (lite version) software out there on the market as well as being much easier to use than a couple of fairly expensive name brand ones also. The Mixcraft software is clearly the value for the money leader as well at $40 a pop. If you haven't tried this you owe it to yourself to check it out. Mixcraft rocks!!! thanks , dan.
- dan granroth calumet, michigan
Mixcraft is the only software I have discovered that has all the functionality I require and is simple enough to use so that I can concentrate my efforts on playing guitar not fighting my way through an overcomplicated user interface. Congratulations Acoustica - I hope you sell millions of licenses!
- James Richards Burlington , ON, Canada
I have been teaching myself home recording for some time now. I tried very high end software mixers and was looking for some "big-name" brands on eBay in hopes of getting into recording for less than $500. Well, I found Mixcraft by accident through Google, and boy and I am glad I did. With other programs, I had to go through a steep learning curve to just lay down a basic track. With Mixcraft, it was very easy and intuitive, and IT SOUNDED GREAT! I bought my license online and I'm now a Mixcraft Convert! What a great product that's straightforward and intelligently designed! Thanks, Acoustica, for providing me with a product so excellent for less than $50!
- Will Hanbury, Jr.
Dear Staff. Been meaning to write for soon time now, but I wanted to make sure I had a good feel for your program first. I'm Blown away....I'm having a blast, and this from a old knob turner when analog 16 track was state of the art. The mix options for fine tuning the tracks are great. The F/X effects give a real professional feel to the sound. About the only con I have of your program....is getting my head around the fact, I can use as many tracks as I need. On the musical side of things Mixcraft has done more for my guitar playing then any thing else in the past ten years. I may just yet leave the basement! Enjoy the newsletters you send to. Word of mouth wise....I brag about Mixcraft. Nice job. PS on the support side of things, I've always found your staff to be most helpful and courteous. Once again well done.
- Bruce Nelson Winnipeg
Mixcraft is the best live recording and mixing software to have ever come out. With the expansion of vst and dx plug-ins, there's nothing I can't do with it. I actually use Guitar Rig from Native to record guitars, bass, and vocals, but then plug those wav files into Mixcraft and do my tweaking and mixing in there. 2.5 is a vast improvement in capabilities from the original, and I'm sure there will be a version 3 soon.
- John Pavacic Toronto, Canada
I run a Internet Radio Station/Podcast and needed good mixing software. I looked all over trying to find one, (I found a few, but they stunk) and I found Mixcraft! It is a very Powerful tool that is great for music composers, singers, and more! I have listed the pros and cons below. Pros: Great Software Very Powerful and Fast Wide range of features. Cons: NONE!!!!
- Anonymous USA
I used MP3 Audio Mixer for years and liked it. I also looked at Mixcraft 1.0 back then, but gave it pass. However, 2.5 is a whole new ballgame. Zowie! Holly Godzilla Batman! You guys hit it out of the park with this one and production my Internet radio shows is soooooo.... much easier now! After you work with Mixcraft, everything else is pretty much 2nd rate witchcraft. Thanks for honing this into such a fantastic tool.
- Marshall Masters Cut to the Chase Radio http://yowusa.com/radio
Just for the record, as I alluded to in my first email to you, I love your programme Mixcraft, absolutely. Very powerful software. So, don't get me wrong, I am in no way complaining about the ability of the software to do the job. And you know what they say....'You can tell a good company from a bad one by the way they deal with problems'. So if your quick response and willingness to help me sort through this minor glitch is any indication, you run a very good company. A tight ship. Feel free to use these words in your site as a testimonial if you wish. I mean what I say. Once again, your response and interest in my plight is much appreciated. I will be referring people who would be interested in mixing software to your site to buy from you. Regards,
- Bob Bell Sydney, Australia
This is the most amazing musical product I have ever used! Don't bother with studio fees or expensive software...Mixcraft trumps them all!!! I am always recommending it to all my musical friends!
- Greg Lacey Michigan
First off, I'd like to just commend you guys for a job well done with Mixcraft. I was once a Cakewalk user. I bought it 2 months ago, and I couldn't even record a song because of the cumbersome and intimidating interface. You definitely need a class to operate that program. I just wanted something where I could drop a bass track, guitar track program drums and and vocals. I don't need midis and synths and all that stuff. So out of frustration, I performed an internet search and came across your site. The macro tutorial and reading the testimonials convinced me to purchase it. I was not disappointed with this product at all. It's so straight forward and easy I felt like a professional studio engineer. I dropped 4 tracks in no time and had a mix ready to burn to disc. Cakewalk and other recording software could learn a few things from you guys. This software is awesome, and the price i paid for the Music Bundle at $70 bucks was well worth it. It came with a whole bunch of free loops and effects that sounds really cool. Beatcraft is awesome too! Very easy to program and it sounds great! My only regret is that I wish I would've found your software first instead of dropping 100 bucks on Cakewalk. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy using this software.
- Charles Atcherson Ft. Washington MD
I finished using Mixcraft to record 15 songs of myself playing 14 Chet Atkins style finger picking tunes, and Classical Gas by Mason Williams. Using these recordings, I burned my own CD. When friends and family heard it, they were amazed at the quality of the recordings (not to mention how good the guitar pickin' was, too!). I let a guitar playing buddy hear the CD and he thought I'd bought some fancy digital recorder. He flipped out when I told him I did at home on my PC with a $40 program. After I told him how easy it is to use, and that it's multitrack, he was sold! Now he wants to buy his first PC and get MixCraft, too. There's nothing like a happy user of a product-they're the best salesmen around. Thanks, Acoustica for a great product that's easy to use. By the way, one of my sons owns a CakeWalk recording product. But when he wants to record his electric keyboard, guess what he uses? Mixcraft! Why, because it works great, and it's easy to use. Thanks again, Acoustica! Keep up the great job!!!
- GlennG
Mixcraft is the best program I've ever gotten for what I like doing, which is acappella singing. I've been able to do some amazing harmonies by myself, but sometimes I need to tweak what I've done. The only way to do that has been to sing the same part repeatedly. I was wondering if you guys were working on more vocal correction tools or tools that have the vocal musician in mind. With additional voice tools this would really be the ultimate music making software. Keep up the excellent work. God Bless!
- Brad Virgina
Like many in the computer and technology industry, we have "evolved" to become podcaster studio software provider, designers, trainers, web producers, workshop presenters, and finally broadcasters ourselves. Until the advent of Acoustica Mixcraft 2, we were "predestined" that if we wanted a decent multi-track capable audio editor, we simply had to settle and purchase the likes of Adobe Audition 1.5(tm) or SoundForge(tm), or go with three or four products that could allow us to do the work that we and our clients need. Suddenly, our luck changed -- we were asked by Acoustica if we would like to Beta test Mixcraft 2, and while we never thought that Mixcraft would hold a candle to the above much higher cost products, we were eager to see why Acoustica was so excited. What has happened since is nothing short of revolutionary -- a revolution of ease-of-use, power and helping us perfect a sound business -- no pun intended. Mixcraft starts out by fooling you...gone are the hallmarks of the more expensive products -- the mumbo-jumbo confusing interface, spending two-thirds of our time with the products to learn how to use the features and one-third or less being productive, and even having to utilize TWO products to do the work that Mixcraft alone does, and does it better. So you are fooled into thinking that Mixcraft can't possibly do the work we needed in the past, but it can! Every feature we need, and then some, are part of Mixcraft, and those few that aren't are easily added via free or low-cost plug-ins. Equalizer? in there. Multi-track? Yep, in there too. Easy and intuitive to select, mix, move, combine, adjust, fade in and out, recast, and special effects any audio, voice, music, interviews, commercials, web-site audio, video voice-overs? Absolutely in Mixcraft. Ability to input or import an and export to the file formats people in real life actually use? That's there too. Mow the grass and bring in the paper? ... er, no, not yet at least. In short, Mixcraft shows that you don't have to be a rocket-scientist to produce great results, nor do you have to own a bank to fund the purchases of a myriad of complex and confusing products. In fact, we confidently recommend the use of Acoustica Mixcraft to our WebPod Studio(tm) podcasting software customers and clients, knowing that others will find it to be what we have: indispensable in your work, be it every day or every project.
- Joseph Rotello, Founder WindowGroup Tucson, AZ
I love using Mixcraft! I use it to make all types of CD compilations from set disks to albums to personal mixes. I think you should add support for recording from an ASIO driver, so you could record guitars, vocals, or keyboards directly into Mixcraft. That would make me 100% satisfied with this excellent program. I have used your products for years; I remember one time I reported an MP3 Audio Mixer bug to you guys and you immediately fixed it and gave me a complimentary registration code for your CD burning program in return! I have since lost both the code and the program because I had to reformat my system, but my point is: you guys have great customer support. Thanks!
- Bill White Macedonia, Ohio
You offer a Great product at a Great price! My band had a CD made from a live recording and the final mix didn't come out sounding very good (all midrange, the low and high end was lost). The guy that did the final mix wanted $45 an hour to re-master the final. I downloaded the demo version of Mixcraft and had one song fixed in minutes using the EQ. It only took those few minutes to realize registering the software would be a great personal investment and a great investment for the band. Thanks for getting the groove back into the "Ragged Edge" CD! - Duane (da bass player)
- Duane Gallaher Rainier WA
Hey, this is the lead singer Cameron from the Michigan band Five Second Rule. We just want to say that Acoustica deserves a HUGE thanks from us and the many users who aren't able to directly tell them. My band and I use Mixcraft to cheaply, but more importantly, professionally mix our music. We originally didn't buy Mixcraft for the effects but we always use them because they're amazing. We got way more than we bargained for when we bought it. The product should easily be retailed at $200-$300. Thank you, so much for making this easy-to-use, affordable, all around amazing product.
- Cameron Drew New Baltimore, MI
I had been making beats for a while when I started looking for something to take my beats to the next level. Mixcraft did exactly that. Mixcraft made it easy for me to start sampling from old songs and creating more professional hip hop beats. Mixcraft is perfect for the producer who is looking to take his/her beats to the next level! God bless!
- tcech Cali
Mixcraft is a great piece of software; the best you'll ever get for the price, and probably better than a lot of more expensive "professional" programs. I'm basically a one girl band; singing, guitars, piano...so I needed software that could overlay several recordings. I stumbled upon Mixcraft and I love it, all I need now is Beatcraft to put the finishing touches to my recordings. Mixcraft is powerful but simple to use, gives you good effects options and once again...it's cheap! Big thanks to everyone at Acoustica: if I'm ever famous for my music it's down to you.

- Arvind Sharman INDIA
This is a super program. Very easy to use.. I bought MIXCRAFT 2.0 a couple of weeks ago.. bought a Beringer UB802 mixer and mic.. and started producing liners for small market radio DJs,..etc. Got about $200 in my set up.. I have made that and more back already. Thanks.. mostly to the MIXCRAFT program!
- Chuck Peters http://www.sglive365.com/sgvoice.html
I really love the software. There is not a whole lot of commentary that needs to be added. The software really speaks for itself. I am a female reggae artist and I do roots reggae music. I've received much partiality from men in the industry when I would have to find studios to go and voice, and pay for studio time. The men would rather take me out to dinner than take me serious as an artiste. Or I'd have to deal with all of the friends looking on while I'm recording because the studio actually doubles as a hang out. This software has liberated me in a whole new way. No more paying for studio time because this program has allowed me to compile my own album, in the comfort of my own peaceful home. Thank you, and I plan to tell as many people as I can in the business. Just keep putting out good programs, and I'll keep putting out the hits!! Rastafari Bless and One Love!!
- Lioness USA Lioness Music Web Site
Best and easiest recording software there is. I had purchased other recording software in the past, and it was way to complicated. Never got to use it, because I couldn't figure it out. I was able to master Mixcraft from the moment I installed it. Now I am only limited by my imagination. Thanks for writing software that makes a Novice look like a Pro! As a matter of fact I just upgraded to the new 2.0. I will be passing on the word about Mixcraft, count on it! For several years I wanted to record my own songs, but the software I bought was to complicated to use. I have a small band, I was able to record the band with the basic version of Mixcraft, which I downloaded from Bearshare. You folks deserve a pat on the back for sure. I am sure you have heard it all before, but from a novice such as myself, it is a God send. I just wanted to take the time to send a thank you. I wish I had found Mixcraft first, it would have saved me a lot of money on recording software I can't use. I liked it well enough I came back for more. I have been passing the word to other musicians as well. Once again, thank you for a job well done, and done well!
- Edwin Klaver Taylorsville NC
Gents, just wanted to let you know that in September of this year I fulfilled a life long dream and released my debut album. I did it with Acoustica Mixcraft and Beatcraft. I've said before I used to pay 80 bucks an hour in a studio and never got to finish anything because I never had enough money. With Mixcraft and Beatcraft I was able to make it happen. I am so happy with both products that I put both on my liner notes on the CD and on my website! If you'd like, you have my permission to use my record as an example of what you can do at home, with a couple of mics a guitar, one really cheap keyboard and Mixcraft and Beatcraft. Let me know if you would like a complimentary copy of the record.
- Frank Worley Vicksburg, MS www.frankworley.com
I would like to start by thanking Your staff member Greg for your great e-mail support. He got me started in the right direction. I have now found that Mixcraft software does exactly what I wanted it for, and is easy to use. I own and operate a large DJ service in Hanover Pa. We do a lot of young folks parties, school dances, birthday parties, graduation parties, etc. = Even some of the edited versions of songs still have enough of the foul word left to be recognized, and some of the phrases without foul language are still not acceptable for children. With Mixcraft, I can perfectly edit these songs. With just an hours practice I have been able to make these edits sound seamless, and the songs sound as good, or better than any professional studio mix. Thanks for a great product, and all of your support.
- DJ Gary B. (GWB Audio)
I can't believe this! I have been looking for a product like this for years. Back in the 70's and 80's I would make mixed cassettes (remember those) for my friends and family. I would mix the songs using two turntables and a mixer. Very time consuming, but pretty fun too. Everyone loved them. I have attempted with various software to do the same with CD Wave files, but have found the process either too complex, or too time consuming. Now enters Mixcraft. It does exactly what I need it to do. Fades between songs are so very easy, and I especially like the track marker feature so that the final CD does not consist of one giant track. The software is not intimidating at all like some competitors products, and super affordable. Great job Acoustica!
- Gregg Hernandez Victorville, CA
If you are looking for great... easy to use recording software; look no further. Mixcraft is affordable, easy to use, and for me, it's the hobby that I've been looking for. I use to be in a band, and we've been in and out of studios spending thousands of dollars, now this software gives me a chance to make my own recordings and save a lot of money.
- James Recker Mankato Minnesota
Hello!! I love this program! It is really good, I play guitar and I plug my guitar in the computer, make drums with Beatcraft and make a song, I congratulate you...I love your program...
- Gabriel Venezuela
I would like you to know that the Mixcraft is the best piece of software of this kind I've ever found. Currently, I'm using it to re-master and remix music I recorded with my band a few years ago, as well as using it to build a weekly podcast (It's A Hard Blog Cast). It's great and it was worth every penny. I would pay this amount every YEAR to use it. Thank you so much for everything and if you need anything else from me, don't hesitate to e-mail.
-Matthew Coker Founder, It's A Hard Blog Life www.HardBlogLife.com
I've been looking everywhere for an affordable, down-to-earth mixing package. I sampled some of the big name software, but found it expensive and very daunting to operate. I was elated when I discovered Acoustica.com's brand of products. After testing Mixcraft and Beatcraft, I fell in love. The ease of use in unparalleled, and the price is phenomenal compared to other products which don't even come close to the quality of Acoustica's line. I highly recommend this incredible value to any musician who is looking for the perfect combination of value and power. Thank you, Acoustica!
-Brian Freeman Shrewsberry, MA
I have only used the Mixcraft application in the package so far, but I want to thank you for making software this good available at a price that anyone can afford. I have looked all over the web for the past year and ordered other software that was complete useless junk. There's not another company on the web that even comes close to the quality you offer at any price. What I want everyone to know is that Acoustica is the only place they have to turn to for any application you offer that they're looking for. All of the glowing testimonials on your site are proof enough. No other company I looked at had anything like it because they don't have satisfied customers. Your in depth tutorials available along with all the other resources you provide is way beyond other companies, making your prices even more of a value to the customer. Your software is the easiest to use of any that I've ever used. So powerful, yet astounding in simplicity. How you managed that is somewhat of a miracle, especially at the price. I had the Mixcraft loaded and produced my first commercial for my web site within 10 minutes. That's a short learning curve for a 60 year old on a brand new program that's so powerful. Thank you so much for making my job easy to produce new additional content for the websites that I maintain. I'll be using it for my own company, The Funnel Cake Company, as well as other websites I maintain for real estate companies, auto dealers, and a racecar company. I'll give you a follow up when I have the content added to the sites. Warmest Regards,
- Tommy Goolsby TN USA
I've been using this program for the past few days and having a ball! It's simple to use, it's versatile, and it sounds great! AND it's only 40 bucks!....Ya can't beat that with a stick!
- Lee New Jersey
I'm a retired professional recording engineer and I'm familiar with recording tool such as "ProTools", "Sony No-Noise" noise reduction system, etc... I'm really amazed to see how easy and how powerful MIXCRAFT v2 is. At $40 dollar, this software is a real bargain and can do many things those professional software can do... a MUST for any audio enthusiast!
- Michel Borduas Quebec, Canada
Hi, Just wanted to pass along some impressions... I've been working with Mixcraft this morning and have to say that I'm continue to be blown away by the features for the price. Exposing Low Cutoff, Low Res, High Cut, High Res effects as envelopes rather than FX makes them more accessible - very cool feature that shows your paying attention to trends in modern production. I think Mixcraft's extremely clean and simple interface is a real differentiator compared to other products in this class (and even products in higher price brackets) and think that it has a good balance of power and simplicity and is certainly one of the most approachable audio tools in the market. Your Drag and Drop Cross fade feature is fantastic (I have this in Sonar, but it costs a heck of a lot more money!) I like the fact that you support external editors for "heavy lifting" is nice. I think if you added the ability to right click on a wave and normalize it (not just boot the volume envelope), and the ability to synch acidized loops to tempo that most users would never have a reason to leave your program. Great stuff!

Bravo Acoustica! I put Mixcraft to the test to see if I could use it in my new course Audio Products Made Easy. Without a doubt the program is one of the best I've ever seen when it comes to creating audio products. It matched everything I'm looking for as far as price, features, and ease of use. My members would have to be nuts not to buy this software.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! Even though I'm such an amateur, I've dabbled in some "great" mixing software in the past, including CakeWalk (which is everything but what their name implies) and within minutes of using your software, was amazed at how easily it could be navigated and negotiated. In no time I was doing what I was meant to be doing, making music. I could never say that about Cakewalk. Although I can now find my way around, it has taken me months to do so, and I feel it could take me even more time to become adept. That's why I've retired my CakeWalk and have taken up Mixcraft. No more wasted time figuring out what I need or want and tons of functional features to aid in the creation of my craft. ThanX,

For the (upcoming) Mixcraft 3.0, in addition to the ASIO support (which will be awesome!), you should add a keyboard shortcut for creating a new marker! That would be excellent! Thanks for the great software!

This is a super program. Very easy to use, I'm really amazed to see how EASY, SMALL SIZE and how powerful MIXCRAFT is, At $40 dollar I love this program! It is really good, I am neither musician nor recordist, ( I design audio mixers and Power amps). I just downloaded MIXCRAFT to see this amazing program improving day by day. GOD bless your team.
- Arvind INDIA
This software is waaaaay fun !! It's not annoyingly complicated like most others tend to be. Forget spending $200 on an analog Tascam 4-track !! This is extremely useful and that makes it sooooo much more fun than the other big names out there.

I just love this program. I play harp (the stringed kind, not harmonica!) and have always had a really difficult time getting a good recorded sound (harps are notoriously difficult to record, for some reason). With Mixcraft and a Sony Flat Mic I get wonderful results. I worked out good compression, reverb and EQ settings for both my harp and my husband's piano and the recordings sound great! Thanks for your amazing product!

When my cheerleading squad started to put a routine together for homecoming I volunteered to make the music. That's when I realized I didn't have anything to mix the music. I searched all over the internet and even tried a few things before Mixcraft, but none of them were easy enough or had enough features to really "mix" music. When I stumbled across Mixcraft I downloaded the free trial and was automatically hooked. I knew I had to buy it because it was, without a doubt, the easiest and most fun software to use. Without Mixcraft I wouldn't have finished the cheerleading music. Thanks! :)

I did the free download, and last week I bought the Mixcraft and Beatcraft... MAN.. I love these programs. It’s fantastic, simple, and works. I do any serious recording all 100% analog (I have a small studio built around a ½ 8-track reel-reel). The tape is so expensive that I needed something else to work out song ideas. I had a 4-track, but it broke. Then I was using Garage Band before I got rid of my Mac. I wanted to use ProTools Free, but it doesn’t work on my PC laptop running Windows XP. But I am glad because I found Mixcraft. $40.00 AMAZING deal. It’s just so simple, perfect. And it NEVER freezes up (I’ve gotten up to 13 tracks). Man, as far as my own stuff is concerned, I really have no reason to record on anything else. I see a lot of complaining about what the program lacks. People who want it to be ProTool, Cubase, or whatever. But I’m asking that you guys (Acoustica) keep it simple. Because that’s why I like it. All I want to do is; 1) plug-in a mic 2) record a guitar track and 3) move on to the next track. Other than drums, I record all REAL instruments. And this works for me. I don't even know what midi is, nor do I want to. It doesn't sound fun. Anyway… Thanks. p.s. If you ever do an update, some hot-keys would be nice… other than that, don’t mess with it.

I am very pleased with your programme. I use Mixcraft for training journalist students in editing news and current affairs packages in the way they are produced in Scandinavia and Northern Europe. The packages is a mix of sound bites, clean sound, speak and interviews - and sometimes music.

I am a musician /teacher and wanted to make decent recordings for study purposes. I do not understand recording techniques too well but am not entirely ignorant on the subject. I downloaded several softwares but had little success until I chanced upon Mixcraft. So easy to use but such good results! Oh! I almost forget to mention the very reasonable price - surely it's worth much more........Many thanks!
- Peter Hudson United Kingdom
I appreciate your great technical support. I've been using Acoustica products for about five years, and it's my primary music creation software. I've done hundreds of projects with your software, made a few hundred dollars, and I can't tell you how happy I've been with it all. I re-up every time I get a new computer, and now I think this MixCraft is the best of all! Thanks to you at Acoustica for your hard efforts at making a great product that's easy to use but complex enough that I'll never be able to use it to it's full capacity. ;) I use Mixcraft almost every day for my radio show, my band's live recordings and studio work, and various streaming from the internet. It's the best software I've used for recording. It's worth the small price you're charging and hundreds of dollars more. Thank you. I appreciate your software! Thank You!
- Bryan Bridges
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That fixed my problem, my 'Mixcraft' is back to it's old self and I have truly missed my old fried. What a wonderful software package you have there. It is so easy to use. I had "Cakewalk" once, and I just gave it away, and hate the mention of the word. Most of all I thank you for all your help through this, I thought I had lost my best friend forever, and I was truly grieving over this problem. Thank you so much. Sincerely, " (Note: she had her video colors set to 256, so large sections of the Mixcraft screen were blacked out. )

After enjoying the trial versions of Mixcraft and Audio Mixer, I knew I had to have these programs. I've tried other music editing programs, but found them too complicated or unable to fit my needs. I was able to use Audio Mixer and Mixcraft "right out of the box" and have already made over 20 demos. I'm buying Beatcraft next. Thanks for helping bring my musical ideas to life!

Dear Wonderful Acoustica Staff, I am the proud owner of your "Power Pak Pro" software. I just think you folks are the Greatest thing to come along since Sliced Bread....... :) Your product is so "User Friendly"....I had previously purchased a product, er, mmmmmm......Cakewalk. That was a total disaster for me.....tooo complicated, and I am a professional "Song Writer" who is in something I can use right here at home, instead of burning up "Studio Time"....I record onto a Fostex MR-8 digital recorder, load the tracks into the computer, and there is the most "Awesome" mix down software waiting to make the songs sound like they have just come out of a studio. Thank You for being there for those of use, who were disgusted with what was out there on the market to use. Just thought you would like to know "Acoustica" is a welcome friend to this owner. Thank You So Much....now please do not disappear and "Go Away".....I am doing my best to spread the word about your product. Love and Gratefulness,
- Sheleah Gardner
Okay, this by far is an incredible program, especially at the price. One thing I love by far is the ability to run my guitar through the soundcard on my PC and then mix the sound with your superb effects. One thing I would LOVE to see would be some sort of distortion plugin. Any chance of something like this in the future? Again, thank you for the great product!
- Joe Aakre
Hi, this my work. MixCraft is really the best software. I am Dj and I am using MixCraft to create my music. I use MixCraft with 5000 samples and loops. This my project :)) Enjoy it ..

Hi, I just wanted to give my thoughts on your product. I have been in radio for over 30 yrs and remember the days of splicing tape to edit a spot. After going all automation with our station, we were using Cool Edit 2000 with our 8 Track Tascam 688 which allowed us to do all mixing on the 8 track tape. Then we mixed down to Cool Edit. Having lost the tape care >of the board, we started looking into buy Cool Edit Pro only to find they no longer make it and it is now Adobe and only costs --- $300 for new or $200 upgrade. I just did not want to spend that much money to do just radio production work. I downloaded all kinds of software to test out and found most of them too complicated or not suitable to do what we needed to do. However, I downloaded Mixcraft and was able to produce a spot and get it on the air in less then 30 mins. This software is easy to use, easy to add more tracks or take them away. We still use Cool Edit to do editing (sorry... but 8 years using this I am used to it) but what I was able to do in just an hour of playing around is amazing. I made the choice after 2 days of play and I am sure I have only touched the surface of what this program can do. Also thanks for your quick tech support to help me get it up and running in a short amount of time. I am very happy with Mixcraft and plan to let others know in radio about your product.
- Kevin Grady (Radio station WZZJ)
Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks for the great product and fabulously easy interface. I upgraded from Acoustica about six months ago and love the added features, especially the compression that I use for vocals, and the FX. Also, thanks for the ease with which I can now record midi files as they play. I have used other programs to do that before, even simply to record cassettes, and the levels were always a bear to get right or the input settings were hidden away somewhere deep in a help file. With Mixcraft, it's just too easy. Thanks for the great product. I'm glad I found you.
- Dave Hart Cohoes, NY
Mixcraft is an amazing software. I ran the trial version and was really impressed with what it does. Now I bought the code to open it and magic will be coming from my studio. Keep it up guys.
- Simon Botswana, Southern Africa
Mixcraft is just incredibly awesome! I have no idea what a musical note even looks like and I can create music from virtually nothing. I have done private remixes or various hit songs.. and they sound even better! I may not be able to read music however, I know what sounds good! Thanks a bunch Mixcraft!!
- Michael
I downloaded your program and have been having a lot of fun playing with it. This program is really easy to use and not over laden with features like so many other programs are.
- Lance Armstrong Plano, Dallas, Texas
I love Mixcraft! It was about time something like this came out. Programs like Cubase, Cool Edit & Pro Tools only get in the way of my creativity & work flow because I have to select options and click buttons so much.
- Maulkie
Hello , my name is Jeff, and I must say that Mixcraft is , without a doubt, THE BEST PROGRAM THERE IS!!! I'm not a professional musician what so ever, but I do use the program too make music and effects for slideshows on the internet. (www.mississippimud.neptune.com). Mixcraft allows me too have music and too add sound clips over the music, it allows me total creativity ! The best part of the deal, is that it is EASY!! SIMPLE!!! A NO BRAINER!!! Mixcraft is well worth the 40 dollars I spent on it, in my opinion it could easily sell for double. (Don't even think about it accountants) lol. Anyway, best wishes for your company, I believe I'm buying Beatcraft next, another great program!!
- Jeff
I am very pleased and surprised with your new Mixcraft software. It's look and layout are very professional without being daunting to the new user. Everything is right where you'd expect it to be and the visuals are virtually clutter-free. The ease of use was a great bonus. Everything was so "intuitive". Once I loaded my first sound file, I was amazed with the many things that I can do with it alone. Adding and keeping track of other sound files was a snap. My creativity seemed to flow with Mixcraft's ease of use. And with just a few minutes of playing with the effects, they became very easy to understand and added greatly to my mix. I am very happy to have found Mixcraft and I would recommend it very highly. I'm sure I'll be using it for a long time to come. Best regards,
- B. J. Hughes
I have used a lot of different home recording software programs and have to say that Mixcraft has the most intuitive interface for easy navigation so you can spend your time doing what you want - Record Music!! Thank you Acoustica team!!

Hello, My name is William and I wish to say that the MP3 audio mixer with Mixcraft is excellent . It has been very useful for my music as far as for sound effects and more. This product is faster than any other audio mixers that I know today . Believe me , there will be no other audio mixer that can beat Acoustica . Thanks Acoustica for your amazing products and also , Thank you for Lois and your representative online that helps giving support & caring for their customers . Keep up the good work and God Bless....Sincerely,

This program makes it very, very easy to record over and add recordings to something you've already done. It plays what you've done along with your recording so you hear what you need to. Then adding it is simply a click away! The volume control for each track is really helpful, as well. Another great thing is just the overall simplicity of the whole recording process. One of the things, however, that pulls all of it together is the MANY NUMBER OF EFFECTS! There are so many effects to choose from and add to anything: vocals, bass, guitar, drums, you name it. There's a great number of effects for reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, EQ, and (one of the most helpful) compressor. This product is easy to use and worth the trial.
- B Rich
You guys truly are the best! Thank you so much for bringing in OGG to Mixcraft! It's really now the best program I have and I started using it for everything. Keep up the excellent work.
- Chanderballi
Although I am a professional web audio consultant and have professional audio equipment, I can honestly say there is no simpler way to mix audio channels and still get professional results.
- W. Nolting
Could Heaven on Earth BE any better?!!" This program is Acoustica's BEST yet. It has everything a producer could need (If you know what your doing). There are endless opportunities with the special effects added to this software. The only thing it lacks from the older version is the "Rate" feature. Bring that back, and "WHAM!!!" I mainly use this program just to lay down my vocals, but now with this newer version, I use it for almost the whole process as recording. If you add Magix Music Studio 7 as your external editor, you'll be a recording and/or a producing fool just like me. Nuff' said.
- Duane from Download.com
I just love the Acoustica programs!!! I checked the site and found the new Mixcraft. Let me tell you something...I've been searching for a program that can mix MP3's and add effects to the songs all in one. My search has finally ended! This is such a relief and it will greatly increase the qualities of my songs in the future!
- Joe Strosin
I'd have to say that I have been waiting for software like this my whole life! It is the greatest thing since the 67 Chevy truck! I'm going to try beatcraft now! I made some awesome cd's for cruisin' and once I buy the software I can't imagine what will be next! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! WOW!
- Blair from Ontario
I am completely impressed by this application! It is the best piece of software to do what I need to do and your team has done a wonderful job!!! Great work!
- Ted Youngberg
By far the simplest and easiest tool that I have used. I have downloaded other programs but this one really made an impression on how easy and feature rich is. I used it for mixing music from different sources including recording my own voice right into it. The only thing missing is the Editor for WAV files - which by the way, I used WavePad for that task.Way to go guys!
- Jose Zaldivar, Calgary, Canada
Acoustica does it again, just when you thought sound editing couldn't get any better, Acoustica takes sound editing to a new level with Mixcraft. You certainly get your monies worth with this product.
- Mark Eggers
I have been in the Disc Jockey (DJ) business for sometime now. and I love this product I can basically do anything with any song, I use it a lot for my video editing software. Thanks Acoustica!
- Luis M
Mixcraft Is Great! I just wanted to drop you guys a quick note telling you guys what great products you have. I have had the Burner and the Label Maker for almost two years and they are Kickin'. I just purchased the "Mixcraft" music/sound editor last night and I am excited to start learning and playing with it. I really like the Real Audio converter! A real nice plus to your product! I have a ton to learn on using this product, but I believe I have got a pretty good hold on it so far. Again, great job guys!
- Mark From Missouri
I used Acoustica Mixcraft and Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker to create the soundtracks and DVD labels. The music behind the carriage ride, "Sleigh Ride" performed by the Boston Pops was originally too short so I was able to lengthen it, using Mixcraft, by copying and moving various parts. I am very impressed by Mixcraft's ease of use.
- David Chappell
I LOVE this version! At first, I was just using Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer, but this is ten times better. I just want to say keep up the good work!
-Duane
A little tricky at first, but using next to nothing for tutorials, I was a master at it in a very short time. A very well priced product that works well. My only comment would be incorporating CD ripping and burning with this software. I have to use my Windows Media player for ripping and then burning after Mixcraft is finished. Using the Media player works alright but not perfect all the time. I would recommend Mixcraft to anyone, easy, very smooth operation and easy > to use!
