#Mixcraft 3 free download registration#
Unregistered, Mixcraft runs as ‘shareware’ for seven days, after which a registration number must be purchased if you want to go on using it. The Mixcraft installer is fractionally less than 10MB in size, so downloading is no great inconvenience. Mixcraft development is active, to say the least: no fewer than three updated builds were made available while I was writing this review, each one providing a handful of small bug–fixes and minor refinements.

Mixcraft can either be purchased on CD–ROM or bought on–line and downloaded directly from the Acoustica website ( My review copy arrived on CD–ROM, but I was prompted to go on–line and download the latest update as soon as the installation wizard had finished.
Where Mixcraft currently differs from these rivals is in its lack of support for plug–in instruments or provision of basic MIDI sequencing functionality, although these features are apparently in the works for version 4.0. Moreover - like Acid, GarageBand and Sequel - Mixcraft also aims to make working with sampled loops as easy as possible. Visually, Mixcraft 3 is reminiscent of Apple’s (Mac–only) GarageBand and Steinberg’s Sequel, both of which seem to have borrowed the same multi–pane all–in–one–window layout from Sony’s Acid. Mixcraft is available for Windows only (95, 98, ME, NT, XP, or Vista) and its system requirements are modest: a minimum of 256MB RAM, with 1GB recommended, a 1GHz CPU or better, and a display resolution of 800 x 600 (1024 x 768 or greater recommended). At just £29.99 it sits towards the ‘entry level’ end of the market, but with unlimited audio tracks, VST and Direct X effects and mix automation available, it could perhaps give one or two more expensive packages a run for their money. With unlimited audio tracks, support for VST and Direct X effects, and an intuitive interface, Acoustica’s Mixcraft offers a lot of recording potential for not a lot of money.Īcoustica’s Mixcraft presents itself as “a multitrack audio recorder that enables you to record your band, create a podcast, mash–ups or remix a song”.
