FX not appearing

I have Mixcraft 9 installed on my main PC but have just installed it onto my travel laptop. Testing the new installation I’ve just spotted the Standard and Acoustica effects aren’t appearing in the pull-down FX menu. I’ve looked at the plug-ins section on the preferences section and the boxes ticked...

Re: Final Mix Tip – Don’t Watch The Screen!

I've always been really suspicious of visual information getting in the way of listening . I'm a saxophone player and occasionally teacher- the number of beginners who stare obsessively at the needle of their electronic tuners, panicking that they can't play in tune. Then get them to close their eye...

Projects suddenly silent- totally baffled

Here’s an odd one I’ve recently had. Record a few audio tracks for a new project, tweaked a few effects, when I go back to the track & play it- while the meters all show its playing- there’s no sound out of my headphones (or I also removed my Focusrite and ran directly through the PC’s speakers ...

My latest EP- random soundtrack snippets

Here's a four track EP of random stuff I've been working on. It sort of works as a bit of a movie soundtrack- some more celtic jazz, a bit of twin peaks-ish lounge music, some downtown new york jazz-punk and a bit of drifty pyschadelia https://mrwilsonlawrencescabinetofcuriosities.bandcamp.com/album...

What am i doing wrong here

I'm trying to cut the first 30 seconds of a track. I select the first chunk and delete it, leaving 30 seconds of 'dead air' at the beginning of the track. Then I select all using either control A or a drag select and move everything forward. The catch- none of the automations move- really messing th...

Adding FX selectively

A fairly basic question please. What is the best way of applying effects selectively to certain points in a track? In the past I’ve duplicated tracks and applied a huge echo to the copy- then set the volume to zero throughout except the points where I want the big delay. I’ve also tried using automa...

Re: Selective Snap To

Thanks- "I just reread your post. You want to put beats behind? What do you mean by that?" - meaning that I've got a quite elaborate audio drama/spoken word piece which I'm now trying to add a backing track to. In the end I've mixed the entire thing down to a rough mix, put that in another...

Selective Snap To

Is it possible to have certain tracks snapping to grid and others not? I've got a quite elaborate series of clips which aren't rhythmical. I'm now wanting to put some beats behind them and not mess up the postioning of the exisiting clips... best way forward anyone?
