Into tracks? Into library folders?
A little clarification might help.
Stay in tune, Mark

No... if you want the loops on separate tracks, you need to drag and drop the individual loops into individual tracks.

Hi,

One way to do it: press the Windows key + e to pop up Windows File Explorer. Browse to the location of the loops, hold down the Ctrl key and select the loops you want to load, then drag and drop them onto tracks in Mixcraft.

You can also use the Shift key to select multiple sequential files by holding down Shift, clicking on the first file and, still holding down Shift, clicking on the last file.

Multiple clips dragged into Mixcraft 8 will automatically go to separate tracks.

Hi,

Tip: with recent versions of Mixcraft, if you hold down the Shift key when you drag clips into Mixcraft, the clips will all go onto one track.

If you just drag the clips in without holding down the Shift key, they go on separate tracks.

Try it!

That's what I do when I receive a folder of tracks for mixing.
Then organize, evaluate, etc, etc. 8)
