Working with loops in Mixcraft is easy.
Creating a looped sound
Select a sound and move your mouse to the right edge. The mouse should turn into a <-> cursor. Click and drag to the right. As you drag the mouse to the right, it creates loops. Each loop is represented with a ‘v’ mark.
(The image above shows a sound looped 3 times.)
Perfecting a loop
You may have a sound that doesn’t loop well. For example, many MP3s have extra silence and will not loop properly, so it is necessary to trim out the silence before looping. Imagine we have a sound with 1 second of silence before the loop. Right click on a sound and click "Edit Loop". The Edit Loop window pops up and allows you to fine tune the loop. The green flag and line represents the loop start and the red flag represents the loop end. Click the play icon to play the loop. Adjust the start and end of the loop during playback. Click the + to zoom in and the – to zoom out. Once you are happy with the new loop, click "OK".
(The Loop Editor allows you to perfect a loop.)
Tips
q Use this to remove silence from the beginning of MP3 file loops
q Grab a chorus section or loop from a popular song and create a remix.
q Create short loops to create interesting sound effects. The minimum loop length is 100 milliseconds or 1/10th of a second.
q WAV & OGG files will usually loop the best without having to do any editing. MP3s and WMA files have problems looping unless you use the loop editor by right clicking on a sound and selecting "Edit" loop.
