Mixcraft 4.5

Mixcraft by Acoustica is a multi-recording track studio software program for your home computer. I used Mixcraft 2 to record my first Christmas CD on my home computer and Mixcraft 3 to create my next project.
Mind you, I had NEVER done any of my own recording before I purchased and downloaded Mixcraft.
Prior to doing this project BY MYSELF, I had paid a whopping $10,000 and spent a week in Nashville, TN doing an extensive recording project that resulted in a CD that I didn’t have much control over. I had a limited amount of time to use the studio and a limited amount of input from the sound engineer and ZERO CONTROL over the final product. While I “produced” my own CD, once I left the studio and headed back home, my creative input into the project consisted of no more than choosing the song order and the artwork and writing that was to go on the album cover.
