It comes loaded with prerecorded loops, built in MIDI scoring and editing, video editing (not the best though), and much more. >Mixcraft 8 Facts/Opinions: Well Mixcraft may not be as well known, but it sure packs a punch.
Another reason people buy this program is for the huge variety of options that come off the bat with the base version, see their version comparison chart here: >FL Studio Facts/Opinions: Well for starters, Avicii would sometimes use FL Studio, some will use this as a sole reason to buy it over Mixcraft. Yes, Mixcraft is easier to learn the interface, at least quicker anyways, but the basic version of FL Studio I believe to be worth its price in full, if you are starting out, FL Studio is a great one to learn, yes it will take a little longer (depends on how fast you learn) but in the end you will feel like it was worth its price. Overall I wish I would have learned FL Studio from the start. You can buy the other editions on their website. If you are going to buy Mixcraft, get the Recording or Pro edition, as 16 tracks as the limit for Home Studio will prove great stress later down the road. >Opinion: It is all about preference, I learned Mixcraft 7 as my first DAW, and I now have 400+ hours on Mixcraft 8.
