GarageBand for PC
GarageBand for PC has long been a pipe dream for the PC music community. It is a testimony
to the unique quality of Apple's product that for many years, there was little competition for GarageBand
in the PC world. Of course, some cheap or free
recording software has always been
available for PC - for an overview, see
Software4free.org | Free Recording Software. But
the serious contender for the title "GarageBand for PC" has only recently arrived: Mixcraft
5. Read on....

MixcraftWhen The GarageDoor first took a close look at Mixcraft, we were blown away by the functionality and performance of the Mixcraft engine. The interface is slick, but you'd expect that as it is closely modelled on Apple's classic GarageBand layout.We are preparing a full review of Mixcraft and will post it as soon as possible.

There are free PC recording programs if you really don't want to spend the $74.95 it costs to buy Mixcraft. Be aware that none of these give you the feeling of sitting at a realistic virtual studio mixing desk" the way Mixcraft (or GarageBand) does. Nor do they include the loops, virtual instruments and effects. Or the system integration. Features like these simply aren't available for free. In fact, Mixcraft muscles in on the territory of much larger (and much more expensive) recording software packages like Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, Acid Pro and others. For example, see this feature comparison chart. It shows how Mixcraft beats Cubase Studio 5 ($399.99) Cakewalk SONAR Home Studio ($209) Acid Pro 7 ($399.99) on a number of fronts: virtual instruments, FX send channels, audio effects slots and VI plug-ins. Sometimes, paying a few dollars is the smart thing to do when it comes to time saved and frustration avoided. Mixcraft clearly deserves the acronym "GarageBand for PC" and costs about the same as GarageBand: $74.95. Convinced? Buy Mixcraft now!
