Sounds In Library
After choosing a category, you will see the sounds that fit into the chosen criteria.
Click the blue Play button next to a sound to audition it. If you are playing back your project, the software will
automatically beat match the auditioning library sound to the current tempo.
Add the sound by clicking the green Add Sound button or drag the sound into the Sound Workspace.
Downloading Sounds
One of the neat features of Mixcraft is that all the loop library sounds are downloaded on demand from our servers. If
you click the play icon or add icon and the sound does not yet exist on your computer, the software will download it
from the Internet. (Of course, to receive any new sounds, you'll need to be connected online.)
