Adding bars? Help...
I composed a song using mixcraft 5 but now I have to add 4 bars in the beggining of the song. When I try to move all the music I have composed together and put it 4 bars after, the toggle information (pan, volume etc) does not follow the music so I have to fix the toggle information again from the beggining.
Any suggestions???
Help me please...

Unfortunately anything you have done in a send track for automation will not move with the tracks.
You could either rebuild the automation or render the project to wav, start a new project and add your 4 bar intro that way.

I'd like an "insert bars" feature in a future upgrade. I realize it's not as easy as inserting columns in an Excel preadsheet, but the concept is the same. There are time I want to add a section in a middle of something I've recoded but I'm not done with. While it's not all that hard to move it, an insert function woudl certainly be handy.

re
effects and mixing are the final steps, you should definitely get the parts recorded and the song structured before starting to add the icing to the cake.
This is not an oversight, any daw works this way.
Just like in the analog days, record it/get it on tape, then add the effects.
Used to be that musicians had to be able to play the song before recording it
Not saying I am not guilty of the same thing now and then.

Re: Adding bars? Help...
Hi, sorry for reviving this post... I may be very late to the party but I just faced the same question: I have a song almost finished but for some reason I started improvising and thought that bit could be placed at the very beginning of the song, but as an intro. So I needed to insert a few bars.
What I did (Mixcraft was drag a selection from the start of the song for the duration I wanted, and then right-clicked and selected Insert Selected Time.
Just in case someone needed to figure it out.
I've been off the grid for a time now and slowly makin my way back. Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
Andre

Hey thanks for pointing this out! You know I never bothered trying insert selected time, I'm always using remove selected time though to bring clips closer and clear the unwanted space in the project. I can think of many ways I'll use inserting time though, thanks for showing

You bumped a post from 2011, before we had that feature. It was added way back in Mixcraft 6.
Thanks for posting the tip!
