First, full disclosure Mixcraft 8 Pro is NOT my “main squeeze” but I do use it. Also YMMV (and I use both Win 7 64 and win 10 64 with 32 GB RAM and an old i7-2600K)

My first answer is: GET the DEMO, try it and read the manual - don’t rely on others who have no idea what or how you work.


The rest:

1. YES Kontakt works (and IK, and WAVES, and UVI, and AIR, and a bunch of others and one offs)

2. Yes WAVES works (as does all FX plugs I have - so far)

3. What do you consider “up to scratch?” They work but again on this one I REALLY suggest you download the DEMO and decide for yourself if it works how you WANT it work. Read starting on page 193 of manual and then TRY IT.

4. Melodyne works I have Studio 4 so suspect V3 Editor would as well.



BTW your questions are really loaded questions: “works well” is completely situation and use/abuse dependent doesn’t matter if you are talking about Sonar, Cubase, FL12, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper, or…. Mixcraft 8 Pro.


AGAIN get DEMO and TRY IT and decide for yourself

Good Luck
