When you use it as multitrack audio recorder, Mixcraft allows you to record and play multiple tracks of audio and MIDI virtual instruments at the same time. Use any of the 18 included effects such as reverb, delay, guitar amp simulator, flanger, or add a 3rd party VST or DirectX effects. Instruments include a Minmoog and Hammond B-3 emulators, an impulse polyphonic analog synthesizer, and Acoustica Instruments, which features multi-sampled instruments in GM format. If you hook up a MIDI keyboard, you can play a whole studio full of virtual synthesizers.

Its song kits allow you to create your own song in dozens of styles to sing along or rap to. Creating your own loop or extracting a loop from a well known song is simply a few clicks away.
