The Main Grid window should look something like this:

Click the green play arrow button in the transport section to hear the bass clip play;
click a second time to stop playback, or press the space bar to start or stop playback.
If the clip begins playing somewhere in the middle, click the mouse near the number 1
in the timeline (the numbered line at the top of the Main Grid window). This will
relocate the Caret, thereby changing the playback start.

Try dragging different types of loops into the Main Grid on separate audio tracks.
Mixcraft will automatically match tempo and key signature, making it super easy to
create music! If you run out of audio tracks, create more by clicking +Track>Insert
Audio track
at the top of the Track List.

If you’d like a section to loop during playback, drag the mouse in the timeline
at the top to create a purple highlight area, then click the Loop button in the
transport area. The button will turn green to show that loop mode is active.
Click it again to turn off looping. (Pressing the L button will also toggle looping.)

Jargon Alert:
The “>” Sign
Throughout this
manual, when you
see something like

+Track>Insert
Audio

, the “>” sign

usually refers to a
sequence
of actions. Think about
it as a shorthand way
of us saying,
“click this>then this>
then this.”
