Good takes, solid video as always. I'm probaby on the upper-end of power users and I'm constantly finding workarounds, but ultimately I've got that MX love so I keep pushing. MX10's sound engine is super improved and was able to push through projects that MX9 shuddered at. It's spurred a ton of recent creativity ('cause I tested a good several months before actual release) and I'm just grateful the product is where it is, ya know? I'm not going to ask any more of the program, so I'm happy that it's gotten to the point it can serve a VST and effects-heavy workflow like mine.
Also, I'm a computer tech and have always specced my build for the task at hand (Mixcraft) and never had issues related to hardware let-down, simply hitting the programming wall. What I'm saying is it's in a great spot now and with a bit more tuning I'm sure it'll exceed at it's job.
Mixcraft 10 is definitely moving in the right direction without a doubt. I honestly feel its on track to he the best mixcraft we've had yet.
It's funny you mentioning that comment "It just makes sense". I have been trying to learn DAW's for years now (Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, Waveform), and even with wonderful tutorials I have not been able to even get a start on one. Perhaps I lack the aptitude for this. However, just this week I installed Mixcraft 10, and it finally MAKES SENSE! I found a fantastic free course, and this is the first time I could actually record sounds. I'm interested in recording hard rock and metal, so I likely require more amp sims (I have Amplitube 5) than electronic (though I have Syntronic). I think this is going to be my DAW (I suppose it HAS to be, eh). Thanks for the video!
Im happy things are starting to click for you, definitely stick to what works for you and what you understand. Mixcraft is great
You don't become a better musician to the fact you change your DAW. Mixcraft will always ve number one for me. Studio One is docent , but ain't got the same workflow as Mixcraft. And for the money Mixcraft gives absolutely the best bang for the money
Thats just your love for mixcraft spilling out lol trust me i get it, for years i felt like mixcraft would always be the DAW for me until I actually used other Daws and realized there are actually better DAWs out here, most people use mixcraft for the simple workflow and refuse to attempt another DAW because of the learning curve but we can agree to disagree because i feel as you grow you want your DAW to grow with you, I've outgrown mixcraft so i need tools that better suite me. Its like a mechanic starting out they buy the cheap tools until they can afford the really good ones. All the tools pretty much do the same thing but the more expensive tools just make my life a bit easier. Like i said in this video i think 10 is great and im not trying to encourage anyone to abandon it but there's a reason we dont have a ton of pros using mixcraft it isnt built for that, that doesn't change the fact that you can produce high quality music in mixcraft but there really are levels to DAWs 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, Mixcraft is cool but that Studio One Sphere thing though.. and the way it looks too. Face it fam.. You’ve outgrown Mixcraft . It’s a cool company but they can’t complete w Presonus
i feel you definitely i started a long time ago waited on 10 to see if it would give the sound for the industry. now its time to elevate
Most definitely, i will always feel like mixcraft is great starting grounds and at the some point you may want to move on
Mixcraft has really become a good daw since Mixcraft 9
Yeah, they're definitely moving in the right directions
You are 💯 real.
Mixcraft Developers almost spent 3yrs for MC10PS. Unfortunately, the wait caused me to buy Studio One 6 Pro, which I'm really happy with. Message for Mixcraft, I would have been happy with MC8Pro had they just upgraded the sample library. More Samples (with few other editing upgrades) would have worked for me.
Remember, don't fix it, if it ain't broke. How about adding an Arranger to your next iteration. Similar to Band in the Box. I can create a song and then have the option to add whatever style I want.
Yeah Studio Ones quality is superb and that's exactly what happened to me i was waiting on 10 and ended up purchasing studio one
Wsg I feel Yu on tht I use to have Studio one wen I brought my Presouns bundle with mic and interface but on Mixcraft yu have to buy top plugins for mixing and mastering 💪🏿🤟🏿
The way studio one processes things is just beautiful, but don't get me wrong i made good music in mixcraft for years
We appreciate you big dawg
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
14:59 I realized that lol I'm tryna do some heavy processing on the recording studio version which is really meant for the pro studio version & I see exactly why I need to update
Yeah i was realizing whats been going on while l was recording the video lol
Which songs you done on studio one I wanna hear the difference
Checkout my latest single "Just.Over.Broke"
Love what mixcraft is doin, def better than 9, but there are times where I wanna switch back to Reaper that is “technically” a FREE daw, but the only thing holding me back is I feel like I’m so used to mixcraft that I’m scared to transition and learn something else, or having to relearn something what I used to use.
I definitely understand
That (false) idea that Reaper is free has to die. It's so disrespectful towards the developers. Reaper is not free - not "technically free" either. And it's not even cheap - as soon as you make even just a modest amount of money with your music the license is 225$ and it comes with practically nothing compared to its competitors. And no, I'm not just hating on it - I'm using Reaper myself.
@@RoadRunningBuzz And I forgot one important thing: Good video, Buzz. Keep it up.
@@na2718 huh weird I never knew that but that’s insane to even think abt
Reaper is not free, free means just that, no money at all.
I Don't know. I just feel like MX 10 is only an Update to 9 that we've all asked for as pro 9 was it's own thing with new plugins and updates etc. etc. when it was released. Although MX10 can now handle a LOT more power and will not go berzerk and shit on you while working, I'm honestly worried about VST issues because pro 9 traumatized my ass. Also, I want to try another daw soon but i'm afraid it'll be too difficult to learn as Mixcraft has been my go to since MX4
Mixcraft has handled all plugins like a champ so far and as far as using a new DAW give it a try man but you're right 10 is basically an update to 9 but its a much needed update 🙌🏽🙌🏽
It don’t matter what daw u use if u know how to mix and master it’s a preference in workflow there’s a producer in the industry that uses Mixcraft
I agree which is why i used mixcraft for years but I've also talked to people in the industry who use mixcraft and we all were noticing the same things 🤷🏽♂️ but ive been making high quality music in mixcraft for years other DAWs are more stable
@@RoadRunningBuzz what do you mean by stability? As far as the workflow without it crashing and all that
Exactly, some DAWs run effortlessly and like i said man too me (which i didn't start feeling this way until recently) DAWs sound slightly different may not be the biggest difference but i can definitely hear differences and I'm not the only one
But i have noticed its 50/50 some people feel like you and think all DAWs sound exactly the same and then there's people like me who feel like there are differences 🤷🏽♂️
@@RoadRunningBuzz yea it’s bout perception I feel you never a right or wrong answer yea mixcraft needs to work on there stability issues there a lot if crashing issues and loading and files getting corrupted over the years maybe mixcraft 10 they keep patching throughout this lifespan to make sure that doesn’t happen but I do understand everything you said and coming from
@@RoadRunningBuzz maybe mixcraft guys need to get with a bigger a king or a bigger corporation to help expand in those areas they have trouble in like stability and a stronger sound engine but they might not wanna give up control and vision of what they wanted this daw to be and maybe they like they brand to be a niche market easy workflow for new and home studio artists and producers that’s what got them started. They do need to start focusing marketing and branding on mix engineers and master engineer s cause as well those or the guys tht will make the daw a household name in prominent music circles, because the daw as can compete
Interesting concept to say one DAW sounds better than another. Unless you using some old piece of software, or one that just gets overloaded and can't process higher demanding projects, they all should do a pretty damn good job. I'd argue the DAW itself should have very little to no effect on your final mix. As many would tell you a DAW is a DAW, the only real differences are the workflows, capabilities, and plugin support you can get from each. And then in the case of Pro Tools, you just get slapped with a tax because it's supposedly the only DAW a professional uses... I'd love to look more into why Studio One seems to sound better than Mixcraft as I have always thought Mixcraft sounded pretty nice. I will say there's times my mix downs in 8 and 9 did not sound as clean as they did inside the DAW, but I'm assuming that has been fixed in 10. But if what you are saying is really true then I may have to switch to Studio One. As painful and heart breaking as that may be.
All of these DAWS do the same exact things but ill be the first to tell you, they don't all produce the same quality, i can use the same exact plugins in both have them tuned to the exact same settings and they will sound different (i only know this because I've done it 😂 was actually going to be a video of mines at one point but I scrapped it)
@@RoadRunningBuzz post it… people be wanting proof sometimes lol. & why not what u got to lose
@TYxMcFLY ill do a side by side comparison with the the same song 🤔
What's the best auto tune vst for Mixcraft 10??
I personally like waves tune real time but whatever you choose will work
What exactly does Mixcraft 10 lack that prevents it from being a professional daw in comparison to Studio One in your opnion?
In all honesty Mixcraft doesn't lack its really a preference thing but i will be dropping a video this weekend what it really is that made me feel this way
Mixcraft is great, I don't want people to feel like that's the message im trying to put out
Every DAW has features that others do not have. That's just the way it is. I think the problem with Mixcraft is not the software or Acoustica but more the way they do releases. Most other DAWS have a different release model (update model) and stick to it. For example, Waveform gets updated with a major new 0.5 or 1.0 release every 12 months - that adds new features and they really do a lot each year to keep the program developing and evolving. Studio One do point updates, heck even Mulab gets point updates, 9.1 brought new faceplate stuff and 9.2 brought CLAP plugin support. FLStudio - which I think arguably is the best deal going by a mile and probably the best daw overall, adds updates all the time when they are ready, a new one just dropped. With Mixcraft it was a 3.5 year wait to get the next version. Whilst 10 is really good and the daw is great its too long to wait for a major release. They need to really make a decision and stick to it - e.g. every 1 / 2 years get a new version. I think people expected the new Mixcraft 10 in 2022 and it took 18 months more to deliver it. @@RoadRunningBuzz
A lot of the time with features in DAWS you see these 'must have' features but a lot of the time a plugin can just deliver the same functionality in a different way. E.g. the GRID in Bitwig is a modular synth / fx thing but you can do as much if not more for synths and fx with voltage modular or open source vcv rack for free. Theres a lot of hype with daws. Coming from someone who owns flstudio, waveform pro, mixbus, mulab, ntrack, mixcraft pro 9 and has used others can honestly say way too much hype over which daw to use. It's silly. I do feel though that the release schedule they use needs to change - it needs to be structured and something people can relate to. Using lots of daws though isn't a waste, it's good to see what else is out there and also to find the one that suits you. I got frustrated with the midi in mixcraft, the lack of flstudio style 'stamp' tool, lack of midi strum and the piano roll wasn't evolved. Only Waveform, Studio One and FlStudio have a decent piano roll.
If you put a select few vst plug ins on the mixcraft mastertrack bus it sounds as good as any other DAW.
@just2comment2 Mixcraft definitely sounds good if it didn't I wouldn't have used it for 10+ years but it all becomes personal preference i feel other DAWs just perform at a higher clip 🤷🏽♂️
So what are you looking for in a daw tht makes a good daw for a professional mix and master and recording?
I mean I've always been looking for the same things pretty much, workflow and stability (which mixcraft always had a great workflow and i feel now with 10 we now have stability) but like i said in the video i really like studio one and to me it has a more polished sound
But daws don’t have a sound I think that’s perception and a psychological thing the one thing thts true to me is some daws or jus for production some are for mixing and recording and some of both
I transferred files from Mixcraft to protools moving and master with industry artists in the same session with industry producers/engineers such as Cb mix, Chopsquad DJ to name a few and there was no difference in sound of the actual song and the fans unless they are mix and mastering nerds don’t care they jus want the song to sound good
what can Studio 1 can do what Mixcraft cant? I just wanna know.
Ill make a video just for this, at the end of the day they all do the same things just some DAWs are more powerful
Good info bro! Man I got Studio One 6 in a equipment bundle and I just recently started experimenting with it. You are 100 percent right lol, man it just makes more sense than mixcraft. I hate to say that but it's the truth. And it looks much better and professional in my opinion. Once you learn the key shortcuts it's fairly easy to use as well. I'm definitely going to use it as my primary daw moving forward as well. Keep pushing your content bro! 💯
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, I've been trying to pinpoint what it is but I haven't came up with anything outside of it just sounding better. To me Mixcraft just has this filter you cant remove
@@RoadRunningBuzz yea I did the same thing you did I recorded in mixcraft, and then I went over to Studio One and I could hear the difference as soon as I did some minor compression and eq. The clarity was like already there. And I'm more into the vocals sounding natural and not over processing so I can scale back on some of the FX in Studio One.
@@RoadRunningBuzz Does Studio One have a performance panel for triggering loops like mixcraft / abelton?
Heres some studio one sauce…you can record plugins directly to the input . Very good when using autotune .
You can do the same in mixcraft but it doesn't run as smoothly as it does in studio one
how'd you feel about reaper?
Haven't tried it yet
Definitely like the old mixcraft better mixcraft 9 was perfect for me wish they went back
Mixcraft 9 for me was a nightmare, it started off good but after that it was all downhill 🤦🏽♂️😂
Hey brother!
Whats up man? I know im super late took a break from all of this but im working my way back
#DREAMTEAM!
🗣️🗣️🗣️
I've been in since version 5. It's continually gotten better every version. Not a new version for no reason. The beta team works hard. It gets bigger every year. I used cubase before mixcraft, which is whom makes/same as nuendo/stiengerg etc... they don't have better software. I have studio one coming because of a piece of gear I bought. I'll be checking into it.
😂
I've had mixcraft since version 6 and it has been my DAW of choice until recently studio one has me hooked lol but literally have everyone around me still use Mixcraft because of me lol
I'm still waiting for an answer to the most evident question : what is there in Studio One that does not exist in MX (and vice-versa). What can you do in one that you cannot do in the other ? Not talking about workflow or stock plugins, or impressions like "To me it sounds better" or "I feel like MX is aimed at beginners". If you read the MX manual you find many things that beginners will not use.
Mixcraft wins as far as being user friendly and easy to use, Studio One wins everything else 🤷🏽♂️😂 but like i tell everyone use whatever you like i just make this videos to express how i feel and why i do the things i do my intentions aren't to force anyone to abandon the DAW they love
lol my bad for putting u on studio one lol I knew u was gone like it
😂😂😂 I definitely rock with it
I will say it time and time again.... IT'S NOT THE DAW ITS THE PRODUCER IT'S NOT THE DAW ITS THE PRODUCER ITS NOT THE DAW ITS THE PRODUCER
I just feel its all personal preference i truly feel if you know what you're doing you can make quality music in just about any DAW
Reaper is the way to go
Personally im loving studio one
@@RoadRunningBuzz good choice I have studio one as well. I’m just in to deep with reaper
@bloomerdre3669 maybe one day ill give it a shot
Reaper was my first daw that I fully MASTERED. Loved the DAW, debated on switching back to it, but I fear my laptop wouldn’t be able to handle having 2 daws
@itsChrisPrivee 2 daws on one laptop is definitely overload unless you have a top of the line laptop
bruhh this review killed my mixcraft vibes ... NGL... been soley depending on this daw for years and now you got me feeling like this shxt just aint the shxt no more. Got me learning protools now FRFR....
Dang I wasn't tryna kill the vibes man was just being honest, i truly feel there are better DAWs out here but mixcraft is an absolute W for beginners
What exactly do you mean it sounds better? I use Reaper, Mixcraft and Studio One and I can't tell any difference as long as I use the same VSTs. Everything is processed digitally and not analog. What's the difference?
Mixdown the same song in mixcraft and studio one then tell me you don't hear the difference, mixcraft sounds like it has a filter or something and i know I'm not tripping because i am not the only person to realize this. Had this conversation with multiple engineers something happens during that mixdown process that changes the track (& i use the same plugins in studio one and mixcraft)
@@RoadRunningBuzz That doesn't make any sense at all technically. DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation. Nothing different is processed here with any DAW. Maybe there was a different EQ setting or 44,1 vs 48 kHz mixdown or something like that. I had the opposite impression with Reaper for the first time, but after a while I have found some different setting inside the plugins. I came to the conclusion that there is not really a difference. But I give this a second try because I'm interested about this meaning.
Every DAW isnt made equally, i know what DAW means but that doesn't mean anything
I can buy two cars they both drive but one may be smoother,
By your technicality garageband should be just as good as pro tools 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@RoadRunningBuzz It has to be the same because it's digital. That's why we all get the same result when we visit a website, no matter how bad the line is or what operating system we use. The tools and options for editing are of course different. But that's something else. A car is analog, so it's definitely different. The digital controls in the car work 100 percent identically, except they are broken. You're basically saying that the website looks different on an Apple than on Windows. That's why I'm surprised. And I would not confirm that. Otherwise I like your video.
Im telling you what i hear (also what others have heard too) and you telling me that cant be right because of technicalities, if that was the case no one would go spend $700 on pro tools when they could but a DAW like mixcraft for $150 and produce the same exact product, these DAWs aren't made equally the same way mixcraft crashes with certain plugins that other DAWs run effortlessly. These DAWs are not made equally it may be a hard pill to swallow but it is true go test it out for yourself at the end of the say this is how i feel its my opinion you may feel differently but i know what I've been hearing my songs sound better in Studio One and im using the same plugins i always use 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I'm perplexed of one DAW sounding better than another? I mean, if you record from the same source? I just don't get it. Vloggers will say over and over...."The DAW doesn't matter, and you can get the same results using stock plugins too".
ruclips.net/video/CxrRTX990Ug/видео.htmlsi=JYHCqCfJRrlHTe_o
⬆️ exactly why i made this video to further explain my opinion
Above article goes into this subject further.
but a beginner grows up and needs something a liitle more and thats when they lose clients...mixcraft should REALLY watch this vid
Yeah Mixcraft should definitely tune in for a better understanding of whats going in
Unsubscribed.
👍🏽🙌🏽😂 appreciate the unsub big time man
