  "It needs much work"

  May 23, 2012  |   By Computer-Nerd

  Version: MixPad Audio Mixer 3.06

  Pros

  1 A very nice interface
  
  2 Everything is easy to find
  
  3 It has a good amount of effects
  
  4 Volume can be adjusted for individual clips
  
  5 Other than WaveEditor, it has a record button

  Cons

  1 Speeding up a clip will automatically speed up everything in the file.
  
  2 There is no option for creating a new file in the File menu. I have to keep closing the program and re-open it.
  
  3 The Undo option will not undo effects that were put in.
  
  4 When I right click on the program pinned on my task bar and click on the file that I was working on previously, it just adds a clip from that file to my current one that I have open. It doesn't open that file in a freshly new window.

  Summary

  I do love the way the editor looks and is easy to understand, and that's why I tried it out, but it needs much work I'm sorry to say. It is still enjoyable however.

  Pros

  Affordable, sensibly simple in concept. Does the job well... if you can spare the time to work around persistent glitches.

  Cons

  Crashed in a very simple track mix, on a good iMac. Not for the first time either. Message came up saying 'file was made on an older version of Mixpad. It can be recovered but will only play on newer versions' In other words - I'm stuffed. My mix has gone. No recovery. And I'm fed up with being expected to pay for nearly every bug fix that comes out.
  The level-setting handles go unstable if you have more than four tracks up and you have to click your mouse around the screen to settle them. It's been like this through several versions ever since Mixpad's pc days. And why is it so clunky to do a minor edit or EQ? You have to buy the separate Wavepad for that.
