IMPORTING VIA DRAG AND DROP
To add a single audio file or folder, drag the files and/or folders into the Library
window from Windows Explorer. After dragging them in, the import window appears.
Choose a library, select the import options, choose a default song kit, and click the
Import button.

Import To

Choose or type in the library name to import to. To create a new library,
type in a name.

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.”
