Just so you know, Mixcraft can be used alone or with optional accessories such as keyboards, guitars, mics and mixers.
http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/features.htm I'm sure that's good news.
Hardware Controllers: JL Cooper CS-10 Control Surface, Yamaha EZ-EG, Dillion Les Paul style acoustic electric guitar with Roland GK-3 pickup and GI-20 converter.
The Rest: Guitars, Amps, Stompboxes, Mics, Outboard Gear, VST plugins...too much to list!
