Mixcraft 10 Black Friday pricing brings Acoustica's Recording Studio DAW to $39, 50% off, with the deal ending Dec 31, 2026.
Mixcraft is a digital audio workstation for Windows. Acoustica has shipped it since 2004, and the Recording Studio edition is the entry-level one of the two versions.
The other is Pro Studio, which adds more tools, instruments and effects.
Version 10 arrived in 2023 with a redesigned interface. Acoustica describes it as more intuitive, scalable and colorful, with context-sensitive pop-up menus and drag-and-drop automation controls.
The Start Panel links to saved projects, templates and Mixcraft news. A new plugin architecture and a redesigned plugin manager handle your plugins, and the maker says the architecture is very stable.
You can also assign custom hotkeys and project settings, and a wider range of control surfaces is supported.
The 10.5 update brings preset Project Templates for podcasting setups, mastering, video editing and more. MIDI controller support is broader.
The Quick Access panel lets you add, remove and reorder instruments and effects on virtual tracks. Auto-save now runs at intervals you choose.
These additions are standard in both Recording Studio and Pro Studio.
The edition comes with this toolset:
On the mixing and automation side, you get curved automation and a master tempo envelope. Tempo-synced LFOs can drive plugin automation.
The mixer panels cover gain, drive, parametric EQ, compressor, oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. The piano roll, step editor and music notation panels have all been updated, and ReWire hosting is included.
Minimum is 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, 8, 10 or 11 with 4GB RAM, a 1.8 GHz dual core CPU and a sound card, USB or Firewire sound device.
The recommended setup is 64-bit Windows 10 or above, 8GB RAM or more, a 3.0 GHz quad core CPU or better and an ASIO audio interface.
Some Pro Studio plug-ins and updates need internet access. Melodyne is Pro Studio only and needs Windows 10 or above.
