Utilizing the royalty-free loop files included with this kit, students can quickly put together music tracks using royalty-free loop files and see how their various components fit together – an excellent way to introduce composition in class! In addition, students can experiment with using various sound effects such as reverb and delay to change their tone and feel of music compositions.
Mixcraft stands out among other audio editing programs by automatically parsing sound files for peaks and beats and matching their timing to your project tempo and key signature. This can be especially beneficial when trying to compose a karaoke song or remix an electronic music piece.
Another helpful feature of the program is its ability to isolate individual sound clips from stereo audio files, providing you with an indispensable resource if you are trying to practice singing or playing an instrument without distracting others, or simply want to listen to specific instruments within music.
This app also includes a Timeline marking feature to assist in labelling parts of a song such as verses, choruses and bridges. Simply select a marker by clicking anywhere along the timeline and dragging to move up or down in time.
Educators can also take advantage of Mixcraft’s built-in microphone and AUX input to record an entire song that can then be exported as MP3, WMA, OGG or FLAC files for playback on various devices or directly exported onto CD. You can even double click any track timeline to display its waveform!
