and dragging the Noise Start or Noise End controls. If you want the software to automatically locate

the next best noise print, click Next Noise>>. This instructs Mixcraft to look for the next best noise

sample based on what it thinks could be noise. Only you know what noise is, though, so you may

need to adjust it manually.

Finding A Noise Sample

The best candidate for noise reduction is a sound that has a snippet of the noise by itself. For

example, if you had an air conditioner in the background and you started recording, you should have

one second of the air conditioner by itself. Then choose the section of audio that is just air

conditioner for your noise sample. If you don't have a good sample of the noise, you could try and re-

record the noise by itself and then Merge the clips together.

Loop Points / Snap P oint

The loop editor lets you adjust the loop points of any audio clip. It is located on the Sound tab.

Adjusting A Loop

The looping and audible part of a sound is displayed in gray. The unused parts of the sound are

shown in green. (If the sound is trimmed in the sound workspace and it is not looping, the software

will show the trimmed area in dark gray.)

Move the Start marker to adjust the start of the loop and the End marker to adjust the end.

Alternatively, you can right click on the loop editor window and choose Set As Loop Start or Set As

Loop End to set a loop point.

If you are having trouble moving the Start or End markers, make sure to click on the top of the

waveform and dragging.

Push the Play button to preview how your loop will sound.
