Hundreds of professional-quality drum sounds and patterns built in, including rap, hip hop, rock, dance, jazz and electronica.

Powerful-yet-easy beat pattern interface! If you want even more beats use it in conjunction with Beatcraft.

Focus on your creativity and not on technical details! Many users have found that they rarely need to use the help file. Cut, paste, edit and shape your sounds the way you want! Use built in effects like reverb, flanger or EQ or install a variety of DirectX or VST effects to add tremelo, distortion, chorus or even remove the vocals from a song! This flexible software can be used in many ways, from recording your first solo album, remixing a song mash-up, pod-casting, editing commercials or even making a production for your daughter’s dance or gymnastic recital! You can even export your mix to MP3, WMA, OGG or WAV, or simply burn it on a CD!

Customer Comments

"Hello, I wrote you this afternoon with regard to your product Mixcraft. I was told that I could download it at no charge and have complete use of it for seven days. Well, thanks a lot for giving me my first taste of "recording crack"! I see how this goes down...........The first hits free and then......... your hooked! - GREAT PRODUCT! I can't say enough good things about it. I used it for several hours today and I have a complete song done and ready for a vocal! - I just spent $599.00 on a digital recorder with Cd burner..........all for nothing. That things going on sale over at eBay.........Keep this Mixcraft our little secret until I get the recorder sold................Okay? You have a hundred million dollar product here ;-)"
Tony Hill

"I have been using Mixcraft on and off for about two years. It is much better and easier to use than Sonar. I emailed about a year ago to ask about the addition of MIDI, and now I can do it all in this one program! Thanks Acoustica!!!!!"

"I was looking for a Windows equivalent to Garage Band and was directed to this page through web searches. I purchased version 4 of Mixcraft and am very pleased with the product. I must point out that I am a completed neophyte and am just learning the keyboard. However, I found your product extremely intuitive and started enjoying the experience minutes after it was installed...thanks again"

"Mixcraft 4 is such a great solid DAW. I've had the chance to play around with those really expensive DAWs, and Mixcraft 4 is as good as they are, and at a WAY better price. As a beta tester for version 4, I never found a bug. Believe me, I tried. I hope I get a chance to beta test other Acoustica's programs, because it was a pleasure to test something so stable and at the beta stages.
To the programmers, keep up the amazing work."

"I bought the Musician's Bundle. I like it a lot. Finally something on the PC that is as good as Garage Band!! I hate paying for software but this was a good buy for me. Very much cheaper then any of the gear I would have needed to do the same with a UI that is easy to use. I haven't needed any manual. I just started it up and starting using it. Very nice."
Marcus Tillett

"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! I'm a student at Citrus college getting into the Recording Program, and I can't work many hours to put into a huge Pro Tools or sonar setup!!! Besides it only took me an hour to figure everything out on Mixcraft with ABSOLUTELY no pre experience on ANY recording program! Its even compatible with the industry standard drum sampler "Drumagog" which makes it even better!!! If you're starting out or want to record on a small budget, Mixcraft will certainly take you far! DON'T BUY INTO THE PRO TOOLS HYPE!!! Its just a name!PLUS with Mixcraft you wont need $2000 of equipment JUST to play around! Hell, I started with a PC mic from target and it worked out fine! The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!"

"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

"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."

"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."

"I have been looking for a tool like this all my adult life. I'm not a very good musician but with patience I can make something useful with Mixcraft... and that gives me confidence. I'm using it for song creation. I have everything I need there to make something usable. I'm also using it to record live gigs for our church's bands. It's just great for that too. (I'm using a Phonic Helix Board 24II)

I appears to me that Acoustica are doing the thing that all good software developers do. They are paying very close attention to what people want. It shows in the interface, the features, the ease of use and the stability of the programme.

Mixcraft 4 is so much better for me than other offerings that it has unfortunately dragged me back to using a PC instead of my Mac. I only wish Garageband was this good and this complete!"
Geoff Hurst

"What makes Mixcraft 4 as good as any other recording software on the market today, is the addition of Midi instruments and other new features. What makes Mixcraft 4 better than any other recording software on the market today, is it's price!

Like Mixcraft 3 it is simple to use, and loaded with studio FX. Only now, you get to chose from 100's of midi instruments with 1,000's of sounds, including Virtual Instruments like guitars, percussion, orchestra, horns, Monophonic synth (MiniMogue), Polyphonic synth (Impulse), VB3 'Hammond' organ... Where was this software in the 90's when I was spending over $20,000 dollars on my studio?

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 trail. By the end of the week you will be producing and recording like a pro."

"Mixcraft is simply the best multi-track recording, editing, processing and mastering software! Its ease of use compared to the 'Industry Standardware' blows me away every time I use it to compose, perform, record or just jam. With all the available samples, loops and plug-ins at your fingers, it makes it easy for even the beginning musician to blossom a little bit faster than the rest!"
Kevin Toler, San Diego

"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 til 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!"

"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! If I'm ever famous for my music it's down to you."
