Over the last decade or so, Mixcraft has carved out a niche for itself as one of the best DAWs in the budget sector. The solution could lie with Mixcraft, Acoustica’s Windows-based DAW. The problem is even worse at the more affordable end of the DAW market, which seems particularly unfair why should you be punished for being a newcomer to music production or working with a limited budget? But if it’s so self-evident, then why is it frequently not the case with music software? DAWs in particular often suffer from clunky interfaces and unfriendly layers of menus and sub-menus, whether that’s a result of decades-old interfaces being incrementally updated or new features being added and overwhelming the user with options. “Software should be easy to use.” It’s hard to disagree with California software developer Acoustica’s company slogan.
Does the latest version of their affordable DAW still achieve it? Acoustica’s company philosophy strives for user friendliness above all else.
