Mixcraft has a lot more built in virtual instruments, and tons more sound samples that aren't just drum hits. I prefer Ableton by a wide margin over Mixcraft, but there are a couple things it misses I can't really compare it to FL Studio/Pro Tools/Logic because I haven't used those extensively. So, there was definitely a learning period moving to a new DAW after all those years, but I'm definitely more productive with Ableton now than I ever was with Mixcraft. I always made sure to close out of MC after any recording session because leaving it open for hours and hours often caused it to crash. Huge game changer for meĭrum rack is just way better than what MC offers for beat composition, too many differences to list.įinally, the software is more stable. Take lanes! Again I had no idea that take lanes and comp-ing vocals or other instruments was something most daws support. Routing midi devices is easier to do and makes more sense intuitively to meĪutomation having its own view with markers to show you which tracks have automation simplifies that workflow a lot Compressor is better, beat repeat is awesome for drums, the list goes on. I legitimately didn't know being able to see your spectrum in an eq plugin was a thing. I couldn't believe how long I struggled with the MC 31 band eq after using EQ8 for a couple of sessions. The stock plug-ins themselves are also way better. You can easily see and edit all your plug-ins at once instead of opening them in pop-up windows
The fx chain/tray is much more useful than what mixcraft offers.
It's a very intuitive platform that allows you to do a lot, and it was great to learn on, but there were very noticeable improvements for me upon switching. I'll give you a ex-mixcraft users perspective: I used it for close to 15 years from MC4 all the way up to 9 pro studio before moving to Ableton Standard this year
