Recently I've had the privilege of co-writing with Billboard topping writer-producer Daniel Avila (Univision, Sony) on a new project involving a teenage band with great musicians and a great lead singer - and anyway he uses and loves Nuendo. It is a another great program but costs well over a grand. With an eye to getting the most for your buck - and spending a little to go a long way - an excellent program exists for Windows users that gives a lot - and quite possibly way more than enough - to meet the aspiring to even accomplished songwriter's recording needs. It's Mixcraft from Acoustica and is now out in version 4. To illustrate the value point from another and well respected voice - Keyboard magazine touted Mixcraft in its May, 2008 edition saying "What you get for your money here is just unreal." and they went on to give it their KeyBuy Award for 2008. And just this month Recording magazine summed up their testing of Mixcraft 4 by stating "Mixcraft 4 is a remarkably complete and very affordable DAW." And "...Mixcraft contains all of the tools necessary for producing sophisticated music projects." Read today's article below to see why Mixcraft 4 is our best selling high value - low cost DAW recording program. And you can even download a free trial to test it out yourself first.

Your "Garage Band" For WindowsHiring a demo studio to produce demos of your songs can be very costly and even producing your own songs can be awfully expensive when using outside resources. You typically need to hire studio time, musicians, and other trained professionals to help you operate recording equipment and properly record and arrange tracks, etc. All told, producing a single song let alone an entire album of your work could cost you thousands of dollars. Fortunately these days with ever evolving technologies there are really incredible recording programs for even the aspiring songwriter's bedroom closet studio with loads of virtual instruments and effects - programs that are available online and at your local music retailer - that can be learned by the newest of newbies. Along those lines there is a new edition of one of the most highly regarded (see the Editor's note above) recording programs for Windows that can readily power a home studio operation for very low cost. High Value - Low Cost - Mixcraft 4 It is easy to use and yet it can produce some of the most professional sounding tracks around. At only around $65 dollars, it is one of the most affordable recording software systems on the market today. Loaded With Features And Versatility Mixcraft 4 comes complete with a full instrument library including two grand pianos along with dozens of virtual instruments and sound effects to build anything from a small band to accompany your vocal to an entire orchestra. You can record several MIDI and audio tracks (your vocal and or live instruments) at the same time and it is compatible with other libraries like the ones offered by Apple's Garage Band and Sony's Acid. Create songs in just about any kind of style - from rock to rap to power pop ballads. Mixcraft 4 even comes with a professional sound library that provides hundreds of royalty-free sounds. Easy Set Up And Start Up Once you install it it automatically configures itself to the audio card in your computer or whatever type of audio set up and or devices that you have. When you go to record - Mixcraft takes you by the hand and asks you what type of project you're aiming to record - like you and your band or building a song from beat matchable loops - and then sets up the parameters for the type of recording you're going to do. This set up feature of Mixcraft saves you time and a lot of figuring out how to best set up your files. You're not locked in either - you can add, edit and subtract whatever you need - it simply gives a good foundation to start with. Once You're Done - Make A File Or Burn A CD Once you've finished recording and polishing your song in the recording and mixing process you can then instantly transfer it to WAV, MP3 or an audio file format. And or you can readily burn CDs of your songs if you want to as well.
Click here to find out more and to purchase Mixcraft 4. Click here to download a free trial version and click on the Download tab in the very top menu bar of the page - purchase later if you want - right out of the program. For optimal ease of use it is recommended that you have or purchase a MIDI keyboard to operate the software. |
