Operation Manual

Digital Media StudioDenoiser=1
Save the ignore file and restart Mixcraft and the effect will not be loaded. For VST effects, you will need to use the
name of the dll such as SuperDuperReverb.dll=1
How Do I Add A VST Effect?
VST effects are actually .DLL files. Download and install your VST file (.DLL) into your VST folder and then restart
Mixcraft. Your new VST effect should now be in the effect drop down lists..
If you don't know where your VST folder is, you can create a new one and then add it in the VST Folders section. To
add your own VST folder, go to the Effects Preferences and click on Edit VST Effect Folders. Click the Add button to
add your own folder or click the Auto-Scan For VST Directories to try and find one automatically. Just make sure to
put your new VST effect (.DLL) into one of the folders in your VST folder list and then restart Mixcraft and you should
see the effect show up in the effect drop down lists!
New Tracks Are Recording Sound From Other Tracks
If your newly recorded tracks are picking up parts of other tracks, your microphone or input device is probably picking
up the sound from your speakers.
Try using headphones.
If that doesn't work, your sound card may have some noisy circuitry. Go to your Window's mixer recording settings
and make sure that only the devices you are interested in recording are not heard. Mute any sources such as the CD
player or auxiliary that you are not recording from. To bring up your sound card's mixer click the Window's Start
button followed by clicking Run... Type in sndvol32 and push the enter key.
Open your sound card's mixer!
Also, make sure you've selected the correct recording source. If possible, it's best to choose a specific source, instead
of something general like "stereo mix," "what you hear" or "digital wave." For example, if your recording source is a
microphone, choose "microphone." If you're recording from your computer's Line In input, choose that.
To choose your recording source in Mixcraft, click on the small down arrow that appears to the right of the arm button
on the track you want to use for recording. First, choose the sound device you want to use (you may only have one
choice), and you'll see a sub menu with a Stereo Source option.
Again, if you already have a specific source selected, your microphone could be picking up the sound from your
speakers. Try turning off your speakers and using headphones to monitor the audio!
How Can I Hear Effects During Recording?
Some sound cards or USB devices have a way to monitor the live recording independent of Mixcraft. However, if
you'd like to hear the effects during recording, you'll need to disable the sound device's monitoring and use Mixcraft's
monitoring system. For example, if you are making a weird recording of your voice and would like to hear the echo or
delay while recording, you'll need to turn on monitoring. You'll need to enable Mixcraft's monitoring and disable any
sound card's built in monitoring.
To turn on Mixcraft's monitoring, click the Monitor Incoming Audio option on the armed track. Note that you may be
fighting latency versus non-gapping audio by enabling monitoring.
To turn off the sound card's built in monitoring, you may need to go into the Window's audio mixer and go the
playback section and click the advanced button (if it's there) to disable it.
