TAB AREA: PROJECT, SOUND, MIXER & LIBRARY

The Tab Area (lower left of Workspace) is a group of windows organized into four “tabs” (Project,

Sound, Mixer, and Library). For student projects, the most important tabs will be the Library and

Mixer areas. Both teachers and students should become familiar with the search and browsing

features of the Library and the layout of the Mixer.

Project Tab: The Project Tab displays general information about a Mixcraft session. Here, users

will ﬁnd the master tempo, key, time signature, and master effects chain listed. All of these

parameters are modiﬁable through this window.

Here, the project tab displays a tempo of 90 BPM, key of E major, 4/4 time and a compressor on the

master effects chain.

Most importantly however, is the audio beat match function. Once enabled, Mixcraft will

automatically adjust sound clips imported to Mixcraft to the master tempo. This function might be

useful for students using samples or producing loop-based music. The default settings activate the

audio beat match function.

Sound Tab: The Sound Tab displays a graphic representation of a selected audio region on the

Timeline and speciﬁc parameters that can change the tempo, key, pitch, or length of the audio

region. Users can also edit longer audio regions into short loops by dragging the Loop Start and

Loop End markers (as shown in the ﬁgure above). Try importing some audio samples and notice

how Mixcraft represents these ﬁles visually. Transients, or the quick percussive attack of a sound,

are often illustrated as peaks and are used as a reference when editing audio and creating loops.

Mixer Tab: The Mixer is modeled off of old analog mixing consoles. Mixing consoles control the

level and panning of individual tracks, allowing audio engineers to “mix” or mold each individual

track into one master track (for example, a song). For students, the most important component

of the mixer is the volume slider: each track has a corresponding slider that raises or lowers its

volume (the sliders are orientated vertically). Pan sliders allow users to move tracks, or “pan” them,

to the left, right, or center area of the listening environment (they run horizontally and are located

at the top of the volume sliders). Try experimenting with different volume and pan settings during

student projects.

Mixcraft’s mixer is modeled after old analog mixing consoles. Here students can adjust the volume

and panning of each track.
