Operation Manual

After that, we can draw in automation points to change the feedback over time.
Tip: If you want to send a part of a track to be automated, the easiest way is to create a Send Track, add the effect to
the Send Track and then select the Send on the automation drop drown and adjust the amount of signal sent to the
Send.
For example, if you wanted to add a delay on a specific word, create a Send Track, add a Delay effect such as
Acoustica Delay, then choose the Send Track from the automation drop down on the source track. Finally, draw in
automation around the word you'd like to echo.
Automating Global/Master Effects
You can automate any master or global effects in the same manner by Showing the Master Track.
Effects Included In Mixcraft
There are several effects included by default with Mixcraft and are detailed below.
Acoustica Chorus
Chorus effects are used to thicken up a sound, such as a vocal or guitar recording. This effect is often used to give
the impression that there is more than one instrument or vocalist performing the same part. The effect introduces tiny
variations in pitch, as well as small amount of delay, into the original audio to give the effect of multiple audio sources
performing at once.
Acoustica Compressor
Compressor effects are used to reduce the difference in volume between quiet sounds and loud sounds in a
recording. This effect is often used on vocals and drums, where some portions of the sound are very quiet, and other
portions are very loud. By reducing the difference in volume of the quiet and loud parts of a recording, you can then
make the recording as loud as desired, and the quiet portions will sound louder than they did without the compressor
effect.
Acoustica Delay
Delay effects are often the simplest and most musically useful effects. Quiet simply, they take incoming audio, wait a
certain amount of time, and play the audio back, sometimes at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect, such as
hello, hello. The Feedback parameter allows you to send some of the delayed audio back into the delay effect, so it
will play again after the delay period. This can be used to create a long series of echoes, such as hello, hello, hello,
hello, hello.
