At the same time, I always have my eye on what might be needed to replace it.Īnd I am overdue for an interface update myself. I know and can relate to the feeling of attachment to what has worked in the past. Each effect can also take a bit of time to process the audio, and delay compensation keeps the tracks playing together, despite varying amounts of latency due to the various effects on the tracks. And realistically, the expected lifespan of economy interfaces is probably half or less the age of these models.įrankly, its effectively obsolete. Mixcraft does have delay compensation, but thats mostly dealing with having effects on tracks and keeping everything in sync.

#Mixcraft hijacks my audio driver#

The common stories seem to go along the lines of some success from certain driver versions in some compatibility mode or something similar, but it seems common that other problems still occur and most people get frustrated and move on.Īs Greg deftly points out, this product is pretty old.

And Avid's customer support reputation is far from stellar. When I hit ‘Play’, Mixcraft now pauses for a second and then emits a LOUD, abrupt digital bleeeeeep before the actual audio playback is heard.

Many people complaining about Win10 64 bit issues. Mixcraft is the only DAW on my system that hates my PreSonus Quantum 2 thunderbolt interface - my other DAWs work perfectly with it. It seems troubles began to surface beyond Win7 32bit and got worse as time went on. With Mixcraft, users can record and mix unlimited tracks to perfection. Driver updates necessary to keep up with evolving OS versions just didnt happen. There has been a lot of discussion elsewhere about this specific issue.įrom what I understand, some years ago the M-Audio was split up and sold to two different companies, with Avid getting the Fast Track product line, which they apparently have let die. But maybe Acoustica Tech Support or other forum members can help, however it's Sunday, so check back here later (Acoustica Greg should see your post sometime Monday). I think the easiest solution would obviously be to upgrade your old audio interface.

If you delete your temporary files, Mixcraft will have to analyze the audio. The temporary files allow the audio file to load quickly the next time you open the project. Hello Scott and welcome to the Mixcraft forum.īummer, my guess is it's a driver problem. Heres why: The first time you load an audio file, Mixcraft analyzes the audio and generates a temporary peak file (.mpk file). Open mixcraft and check the input device is reading and it is but as soon as I hit 'arm' it comes up with an error saying check device driver is up to date or that device is plugged in correctly. (All my machines are 64bit, I need to check the FX) (edit: I started Mixcraft, created a new project, created 4 virtual inst tracks for sounds from Mixcrafts library and added 2 Mixcraft FXs on 2 of the tracks. However I have installed a driver and it is picking it up on the sound tab of windows and reading then I make a noise or hit a note. I figured it was a bit sampling rate conflict. Unfortunately, this is also the downfall. mpk files for quicker loading on the next session. Compare price, features, and reviews of the software side-by-side to make the best choice for your business.

I have a M-Audio fast track pro input that I know was discontinued and the drivers only seem to go up to windows 7. C:UsersyourcomputernameAppDataLocalTempMixcraft is the default location for Mixcrafts temp files, which are written during a save and utilize.

Other DAW's with no audio device issues, at least on my on my setup: Sonar Platinum (last release Nov 17, both 32 and 64 bit), Studio One 3 Pro (last release), PG's PTPA 2017 and Real Band (those are only 32 bit DAW's), FL 12 and FL 20 (again both 32 and 64), Samplitude Pro X3, Tracktion 7 and Wave, Reaper, and I think I'm forgetting one but again these DAW's ALL work with FAS FX III as the Audio device - no issues.I'm new to mixcraft and thought I would give it ago. I don't use FX III as audio device (normally) I simply switched to the FAS audio device for this check (I've been using a Focusrtie audio card long before I even had an FX III so no reason to 'muck' with a perfectly good set up). 'they did have some problems with USB MIDI messages from some DAWs.'Įven if true I have no idea why USB MIDI issues would impact the AUDIO driver so am at loss at this point Quote is from Acoustica saying Matt said: I have reported to Acoustic they wanted me to report it to FAS I saw no reason besides at this point they just emailed me to say they talked with Matt and his only thought (back to Acoustica not me) was to make sure I was running most current FW release on FX III, I was and am (FW 1.18) because there was some issues previously with USB MIDI. FYI - of all the DAW's I own - Mixcraft 8 both 32 and 64 bit (current build 413) is only one that does NOT recognize FAS (AXE FX III) audio device (ASIO).
