Mixcraft rocks, Beatcraft blows
By Wingnut
Mixcraft is a great multitrack recording and editing software. I have several different ones, and I just use Mixcraft, and have written and recorded several original songs that I listen to over and over despite having little musical ability. It's just great.Beatcraft is basically worthless in my book, and I'd rather use EZdrummer or pull in canned drum loops.My 2 cents: Just get Mixcraft and skip the Musician's Bundle. You'll be much happier with your purchase.

Garageband for windows, but registration woes
By GameMaker
I really like Mixcraft. I'm one of the many people who played several instruments as a teen (and younger) and then when I got into college and into the workforce I dropped it (regrettably). And now with all the computer advancements in music, I'm eagerly trying to get back into it.THE GOOD:Mixcraft is a lot of fun. It really is very much "Garageband for Windows". Very similar interface, very similar functionality. Like Garageband, Mixcraft has a pretty wide variety of different loops that you can use "right out of the box" as well as virtual instruments that you can use to compose your own music.It's really nice for things like coming up with some background music for a video project, or a game or something. And in doing so it saves you from having to worry about potentially sticky music royalties and rights and such. Anyone can come up with some decent music with this tool, and there is a very gentle learning curve. I was using it successfully just a few minutes after installing it and watching a couple of short videos from their website.THE BAD:The included instruments and loops are not admittedly not the highest fidelity. I'd say quite a bit below Garageband unfortunately. Also when you try to use virtual instruments (either mixcraft's own or 3rd party) they come in at an extremely low volume, which certainly causes problems.Acoustica's registration is also big problem. It's baffling, and it's flat out broken. For the musician's bundle in particular, they've managed to make what ought to be a simple thing (entering a registration code) into an almost insurmountable task. Don't say I didn't warn ya there.One other somewhat major drawback to Mixcraft is the omission of a way to play virtual instruments without a MIDI controller/keyboard (like Garageband can). So consider at least an inexpensive Midi keyboard (which will set you back $100 or so) a mandatory purchse if you want to make use of much of Mixcraft's functionality.Overall I do definitely recommend Mixcraft, although it does have a lot of little annoyances. You'll get your money's worth in entertainment if nothing else, and undoubtedly generate some music that you can be proud of in the process.

Lots of fun
By C. Carter
I have had so much fun with this software since I got it. It was really easy for me to learn how to use it, it was my first time with any type of music creating/editing software & I was recording from day one. The virtual instruments included sound really good, better than you would find on most keyboards. I play guitar and bass & the sound of the recorded instruments comes out sounding awesome when I burn it on a cd. Beatcraft was easy to learn how to use, it was harder at first just because I'm not a drummer & I wasn't sure how to create a good beat. But I am starting to get the hang of it, it was really an issue with my lack of rythm and not with the software. At first there was some latency with the guitar when I would play it, I had to download ASIO driver for my soundcard AND use headphones when I record. If I use speakers, the latency comes back. This is not a big deal, I don't mind using the headphones. There are some bugs in the software, it locks up sometimes or won't close out. I also can't run Beatcraft and Mixcraft at the same time. I have to put the drums together first in Beatcraft, close it out, and then import it into Mixcraft. If I try running them at the same time Beatcraft will just stop working. This is a little annoying, but not too bad. I can deal with it, I guess there's really no reason to run them together, it just bugs me that I can't. I haven't ever lost a project or anything, Mixcraft usually locks up when I try to close it. Overall, I am very happy with this bundle! I did a lot of research before I bought it, I tried to find the best software for the least amount of money. I think I made a good choice, even with the bugs I don't regret it for a second.
