Beat matching and music key matching work llike a dream. Mixcraft supports additional loops from outside vendors, including the Apple Loops loved by GarageBand users. Mixcraft comes with an integrated loop library with over 6000 loops. When Acoustica released Mixcraft, I finally found a winner. Here’s my list of apps to build your own iLife suite for Windows.Īpple’s GarageBand makes it so easy to make music on your computer it’s been incredibly hard to find anything that competes on Windows. Microsoft hasn’t stepped up to the plate to offer all the features, although Windows Vista does include some of the features in the Premium and Ultimate flavors. While software bundles like Roxio Easy Media Creator and Nero 7 Ultra Edition include everything plus the kitchen sink for media editing and management, they both fail to make the process as elegant as using Apple’s iLife.

If Apple ported it to Windows, I think they’d sell a million copies overnight because the apps are all incredibly easy to use. Apple’s iLife is a great suite for managing and editing your movies, music, and photos with an affordable collection of software applications… if you have a Mac.
