Mixcraft 4 - Audio Production for Schools
Written by Stuart Hasic   

Sydney Region is pleased to announce bulk pricing for Public Schools in NSW for Acoustica's brilliantly educational Mixcraft 4 program. This easy to use software puts a multi-track recording studio at your fingertips.

  • Use it to professionally record the school band and burn CDs or publish MP3s!
  • Use it to create educational podcasts with your class!
  • Use it to compose your own music with a MIDI keyboard!
  • Use it to mix music and sound loops into your own music masterpiece!

Mixcraft 4 is like Apple's GarageBand and Band in a Box rolled into one. And instead of paying US$64.95, we have arranged bulk pricing that can't be beaten and we pass those savings directly onto our schools, regardless of whether you buy 1 or 100 licences. To find out more about Mixcraft, please visit our DET Intranet-only site: http://sitwww.det.nsw.edu.au/sr/mixcraft
