Important Sound Setup Information
When you first start Mixcraft, you should make sure that the audio latency response is set up properly. All sound
devices and sound cards are not created equal and some have better performance than others. In addition, your
computer's speed will make a difference in audio performance. Adjusting your sound device's performance will be a
balancing act between latency versus gapping or breaks in continuous sound.
If you are recording audio with Mixcraft's built in monitoring or playing virtual instruments, you will definitely need to
adjust your latency response properly.
Choosing An Audio Driver Type
1. Click "Preferences" from the "File" menu.
2. Click on the "Sound Device" tab.
3. For Vista and Windows 7 users, the default choice is "WaveRT". If you have a slower computer, you may need to
adjust the latency to a higher value. (1000 milliseconds = 1 second.) WaveRT is recommended if you have Vista. If
"WaveRT" is enabled, click it. (WaveRT stands for Wave Real Time.) In standard mode, WaveRT goes down to 20
milliseconds latency.
4. If you have Windows 7, you may be able to click WaveRT "Exclusive Mode". This mode will allow you to go down
to one millisecond of latency, depending on your computer's speed and power. Note that in this mode, other
programs will lose audio capability while you run Mixcraft. You may need to restart the other programs to get their
audio back. WaveRT exclusive mode is advantageous for those seeking to use every last ounce of power out of their
computer, but at the same time other programs will cease to make audio during WaveRT Exclusive Mode.
5. If you don't have WaveRT, the next best option is "ASIO". If available, click "ASIO". If it is grayed out, go to your
sound device or sound card manufacturer's website and install the latest drivers. Click on the "ASIO Device" and
choose the sound device or sound card you wish to use. You can adjust the settings of the ASIO device by clicking
"Open Mixer". Each ASIO driver is implemented differently and so you will have to consult the manual or help for your
sound device in order to adjust the latency response. Make sure that the "Default Output (Playback)" is set to the
correct device so that you will hear audio properly.
6. If you don't have Vista or an ASIO option enabled, you have to use the last option "Wave". Click the "Wave" radio
button. To reduce latency, decrease the "Number Of Buffers" and reduce the "Buffer Size". As you adjust these
fields, the "Latency" field will update. You will have to make adjustments, click "OK" and play some audio. 100
milliseconds or less is tolerable. 20 milliseconds or less is preferred.
Computer Speed Consideration
If you have a slower computer, you may need to adjust your latency to be longer in order to avoid gapping or breaks in
the audio. If you are hearing breaks in the audio, you will need increase your latency. Alternatively, you may need to
purchase a higher performance sound device or sound card designed with music recording and playback in mind.
Changing the latency will depend on what type of audio driver you are using. See the section above on "Choosing An
Audio Driver Type" for more information. Another good speed enhancement is to de-fragment your hard drive.
Notice the CPU meter on the lower right hand corner of Mixcraft.
This will report how much CPU Mixcraft is using compared to the entire computer's CPU usage.
Shutting Down Unnecessary Software
When using Mixcraft, shut down unnecessary programs such as email, instant messaging, and your web browser.
Each additional program uses your computer's memory and CPU, and, in many cases, it will cause performance to
suffer in Mixcraft. Check the Window's task manager to see what programs are using a lot of memory or CPU usage.
On XP and Vista, you can bring up the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If you can remember to reactivate
your anti-virus software, shut down your anti-virus software while using Mixcraft. HOWEVER, DON'T FORGET TO
TURN YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE BACK ON WHEN YOU ACCESS YOUR EMAIL OR THE INTERNET!

Get The Latest Drivers
Always make sure to have the latest drivers for your sound device in order to get the best performance and quality in
your recordings! Visit the website for your sound device or sound card to install the latest drivers. (Even if you just
purchased the device, it is very likely that the included drivers are out of date already.)
Other concerns
Sound Is Breaking Up / Popping Or Clicking
Sound Is Delayed Or Lagging (Latency)

Recordings Are Not In Sync
ASIO Is Not Available
Quick Start
So you want to get something done in a hurry, eh? Let's follow our favorite musician Sound Warrior (SW) through the
paces of using Mixcraft™.
Load in sounds or loops
SW starts Mixcraft and clicks the Loop Library Tab. He selects the style 12-8 Blues and drags in Bass 16 Bars to the
start of track 1. He scrolls down to Drums Hat & Snare 1 to the start of track 2. More on loading sounds...
Create loop
To add looping, SW moves his mouse to the right side of the sound until the cursor turns into the left-right resize
cursor . SW clicks and drags to the right to loop the sound. Each loop is represented by a triangular tick so that he
can visibly measure out 10 loops. In this manner, SW loops both the bass and drums.
Records a Lead Synth Pad
SW hooks up his MIDI keyboard and creates a Virtual Instrument Track. He finds a groovy synth lead and records
himself. In a few spots, he played the wrong note and so he simply goes to the Piano Roll Editor and moves the notes
to the right spots!
Records Himself
SW writes down some quick lyrics about how square wheels just don't get you rolling. He clicks the Arm button on
track 3 and clicks the Rewind button in case the playback indicator is not at time 0. He then clicks the record button
on the Master Bar and start belting out his Grammy winning performance. When he is done, he clicks the Stop
button!
Add effects
He decides to add some echo or delay to his vocals so that "yo cave lady" sounds more like "YO yo CAVE cave LADY
lady". He clicks on the FX button on track 3 and selects the effect "Delay" from the list. In a sudden inspiration, he
decides that the whole thing needs reverb so that it sounds like it's in a cave and clicks on the Project Details Tab to
add a global reverb effect. Now it sounds just right and 'cavey'.
Mix it down to MP3
Soundwarrior needs to mix it down to a single sound. He chooses File then choose Mix Down To followed by clicking
MP3. He selects a file name and clicks save. Without hesitating he launches his email browser and starts composing
a new message to his current #1 fan. "Dear Mom, you've gotta check out this new cave mix I made!!!"
Burn it to CD
Sound Warrior is so happy with himself he decides to burn a spinning wheel (also known as a CD) so that he can play
it at the next 'rock' concert. He adds a few track CD markers so that he has tracks on his CD, and clicks the Burn
button. Minutes later, he prints a CD label with the optional Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker !
(Of course, SW has purchased all Acoustica software because he knows it is smart to support good software!)
