Mixcraft 5: A First Look
Video Track Mixcraft 5s Video Track allows loading and editing of video files. Easily cross-fade from one video clip to another. Remix the audio, add a soundtrack, and effortlessly render your video project to a new video file.
Automation New Automation features provide automated control of all parameters and controls in any VST effect, VSTi instrument, or Acoustica effect. All tracks can contain an unlimited number of automation curves on an unlimited number of effects and instruments. In addition, you can even automate the track volume & panning, and more.
Master Track The Master Track allows you to smoothly automate the global effects parameters and master volume, for smooth and easy fade-ins and fadeouts for your mixes.
Send Tracks Send Tracks (aka Auxiliary Busses) let you route audio from multiple Audio Tracks and Virtual Instrument Tracks to a single set of audio effects. For example, use one reverb effect on multiple tracks. Audio can be routed both pre-fader and post-fader to the Send Tracks, and effects on the Send Tracks can all be easily automated.
Mixer Interface Mixcraft 5s powerful Mixer Interface provides a convenient and familiar interface for mixing a project. Complete with easy access to volume, pan, mute, and solo controls, as well as effects and instrument dialogs, our Mixer Interface also includes a 3-band EQ on every track, so you can get every instrument fitting perfectly into the mix.
WaveRT Exclusive Mode (available in Windows 7) WaveRT Exclusive Mode (available in Windows 7) provides ultra-low-latency, solid audio performance on most audio hardware without any special sound card drivers. With WaveRT Exclusive Mode, Mixcraft can now interface directly with the audio hardware, bypassing the operating system for truly stunning audio performance.
Notation Mixcraft 5s Notation tools allow you to create, edit, and print your MIDI data in familiar music notation format. Record your own MIDI tracks and instantly generate high-quality professional sheet music based on your performance. Or, construct your own musical composition note-by-note with traditional music notation.
Musical Typing Keyboard (MTK) The Musical Typing Keyboard lets you play and record Mixcraft 5s virtual instruments without the use of a MIDI keyboard. Use your computers typing keyboard to play notes and chords. Control pitch bend, modulation, and velocity. Sustain notes with a simple press of the Shift key. You can even transpose by octaves and semitones.
Recording Count-In The Recording Count-In feature, which can be turned on and off in Mixcrafts time display, tells Mixcrafts metronome to count for several measures before recording begins. The length of the count-in is even user-adjustable, between 1 and 32 measures.
Undock the Details Tab Undock the details tabs and move them around the screen, or onto a second monitor. Maximize the details tabs window for full-screen MIDI editing, mixing, access to the loop library, and more!
Lots of New Loops, including the following song kits:
70's Funk Chill Cool Jazz Surf Rock Reggae Vegas Rock

Messiah goes far deeper than the original hardware synthesizer, featuring 8 voices of polyphony, a powerful arpeggiator, distortion and delay effects, wave morphing, and a whole lot more, with truly stunning analog sound quality.
Pultronic Tube EQ (by G-Sonique) The Pultronic Tube EQ by G-Sonique (a $60 value!), a detailed recreation of the classic vintage vacuum tube-based equalizer found in top studios throughout the world.
