Acoustica has released Mixcraft 4
Acoustica has released Mixcraft 4 with MIDI support as it largest new feature. The download price is $64.95 which is a bit more expensive than Mixcraft 3. Mixcraft still has a 7 day trial.
My earlier comparisons between Sony Acid Music Studio 7 and Mixcraft 3 had Mixcraft winning on the usability and Sony Acid winning for MIDI support. With Mixcraft 4, Acoustica has evened the score on the MIDI front and they are still in the lead with the user interface. Sony Acid Music Studio 7 has been slightly less expensive, but both of these products should be considered a good deal and both are now good candidates to be your Garageband for Windows.
I’m adding a link to the purchase page for Mixcraft 4. From here you can get to the download page and the product details pages.

They’ve done alot more than even the score. The included virtual instruments are amazing and Acid doesn’t give you anything.

i’m looking into making my own podcasts and just stumbled upon Mixcraft 4. I’m going to try it out. The GUI looks somewhat like Garageband, so that’s primarily why I’m going to try it!

the only problem is that acoustica is not on sale with a package all inclusive (DVD with loop and program)

I would second this. I have tried a lot of applications and Mixcraft is really good and does the job whilst being easy to use and understand.
Great program !
