At The NAMM Show 2012: Acoustica is showing off the brand new studio-in-a-box Mixcraft 6, due to be released in March.
Effects:
Along with its high-end cousin, Mixcraft Pro Studio 6, the new Mixcraft 6 boasts many features that are critical for creating and recording music. Mixcraft is stocked with classic effects like graphic equalizers, reverbs, chorus, phasers, compressors, limiters, and so on. Mixcraft also includes powerful effects such as pitch correction, parametric equalizers, vintage guitar amp and cabinet emulations, vocal reduction, and a “classic vintage tube EQ” effect.
Mixcraft Pro Studio comes with additional high-end mastering effects, including tools for enhancing bass, treble, and harmonics, and adding subtle tube warmth. There’s also an all-new professional studio reverb, a 31-band equalizer, and a powerful rhythmic delay included. Mixcraft Pro Studio even includes the new iZotope™ Mastering Essentials plug-in, a powerful mastering suite to lend your production a more professional sound.
Virtual Instruments:
Mixcraft comes with the Acoustica Instruments collection, a sound library which includes orchestral instruments, drums, synthesizers, pianos, organs, guitars, bass, and more, all mapped to the General MIDI specification. The Acoustica Expanded Instruments collection adds deep synth pads, ethereal voices, and haunting strings to the mix. And the new Acoustica Studio Drums adds a set of acoustic and electronic drum sounds. The Mixcraft Pro Studio product also includes the “Pianissimo Virtual Grand Piano.”
Mixcraft 6 also is equipped with soft-synth emulations of the MiniMoog, Prophet 5, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, the Hammond B-3 organ with Leslie rotating speaker, and classic transistor organs by Vox and Farfisa. Mixcraft Pro Studio also includes incredibly detailed emulations of the MemoryMoog and Yamaha CS-80 synthesizers.
Plugins:
Both of the new Mixcraft products are compatible with nearly any VST effect or
VSTi instrument plug-in, and works with Acid and Garage Band loops. Mixcraft hosts ReWire applications to control other DAWs, sequencers, and drum machines, and sync everything. Users can record from any USB microphone, or compose with any MIDI keyboard. Additionally, Mixcraft is compatible with virtually any FireWire, USB, or internal audio device, using Wave, WaveRT, or ASIO drivers.

Not sure why Mixcraft isn’t more popular. I find it’s much easier to use than Reaper and comes with more/better plugins. It’s priced well and is fairly powerful. I didn’t switch since I’ve invested time/money into Reaper but I almost wished I hadn’t.

It’s not more popular because it has an ugly UI. It’s really important.

Ugly UI? Never seen a beautiful UI myself but If I can record songs with as much ease as I do with Mixcraft I could care less what the UI looks like because a nice UI wont help make nice music. If that’s what you like you should download the MC6 beta for free and look at the new look, Its way different than the old ones. I say bring it on Acoustica, I look forward to a new MC always because I think its the best and their stepping up with all the new features.
