Default Song Kit

Select or type in a name for a song kit if the imported sounds are to be associated

with a specific Song Kit. This can be easily edited later if need be.

Guess

If Mixcraft sees certain keywords within the file name, checking Guess criteria

checkboxes will help Mixcraft to automatically assign attributes. These are helpful
when searching for sounds in the Library Tab.

Style

– If a keyword is found in the file called “lib-styles-for-import.txt” this will

be considered its style. For example, if a file has the word “Rock” in it, Mixcraft

will set the sound’s style to Rock.

Tempo

– If a number in the range of 40-240 is found, Mixcraft will assume that

this is the tempo.

Key

– If a key is found by itself, such as “Rock-G,” Mixcraft will assume that

“G” is the key of the sound.

Instrument

– If a keyword is found in the file called “lib-insts-for-import.txt”,

Mixcraft will consider that word to be its instrument. For example, if a file has

the word “piano” in it, Mixcraft will set the sound’s instrument to “Piano.”

Copy sounds to library folder

This creates a copy of the sound on the local hard drive under the folder

%programdata%\Acoustica\Mixcraft\UserLibrarySounds\. If importing from a CD,
this option is on by default and cannot be turned off.

Preserve folder structure when copying

If this is checked, then the folders that contain the imported sounds will be
mirrored in the %programdata%\Acoustica\Mixcraft\UserLibrarySounds\ folder
if you are using the Copy sounds to library folder option. For example, if a sound is
found at C:\folder one\sub folder two\, then it will add the sound to
%programdata%\Acoustica\Mixcraft\UserLibrarySounds\LibName\folder one\sub
folder two\
. If this is off, it will place all the imported sounds at the base level in the
user library directory.

Import

This begins the import. While an import is happening, you are free to edit sounds
or use Mixcraft without interruption.
