Sound Basics

Each sound or clip can be edited in a variety of ways.

 

(Here is what a sound clip looks like in Mixcraft.)

This sound is called "Drum Loop". You can play it individually by clicking the play arrow. The sound clip has a title bar, wave form, envelope, and a selection area on the bottom. Each sound can be cropped, faded, edited in a few simple clicks and drags. Cut, copy and paste is also extremely easy.

 

Adding Sounds

To add a sound, position the caret and click the "Add Sound" button on the toolbar. Alternatively, double clicking on an empty area on the track will allow you to choose a sound. Locate the sound and click "Open". Alternatively, you can drag in multiple sounds directly from a Window’s folder. Mixcraft currently imports WAV, MP3, OGG and WMA files.

 

Selecting Sounds

To select a sound, click its title bar. Alternatively, you can select a portion of the sound by clicking on the bottom selection part of the sound and dragging left or right. To select multiple sounds, click down in the window and drag over the sounds or portions of sounds you’d like to select.

 

Moving Sounds

Simply click on the title bar of the sound clip and drag it to a new location. You may also use the keyboard to move the sound. Note that sounds can overlap and coexist at the same location if desired.

 

Deleting Sounds

Simply select the sound or sounds and click "Cut" from the "Edit" menu or press the "Delete" key on the keyboard.
