Markers' Effect On
Tempo, Key, and Time
Signature!
Keep in mind that using
Markers to set tempo,
key, and time signature
always overrides any
settings made by
clicking these controls
in the transport display
window. If the tempo,
key, or time signature
remains constant for
the entire project, this
won’t matter, but if
you’re using markers
to change the project
tempo, key, or time
signature, setting them
in the transport display
window effectively only
functions from the first
(permanent) Marker
at the beginning of
the project until the
location of the second
“user-added” Marker.
METRONOME
Mixcraft’s metronome clicks at the project tempo. It can be set to click during playback,
recording, or both. To configure the metronome, click the metronome button.
The dialog below opens:
PLAYBACK
Checking this box makes the metronome click during playback. Pressing the M key
will toggle it on and off.
RECORDING
Checking this box makes the metronome click during recording. Pressing SHIFT+M
key will toggle it on and off.
RECORDING COUNT-IN MEASURES
Upon pressing the Record button, this gives a “countdown” before recording begins.
The number selector lets you choose the length of the countdown length in measures.
METRONOME PREFERENCES
Metronome sounds and volume can be customized by selecting Preference>Metronome
in the Main Window menus.
PLAY EVERY X BEATS
The metronome can be configured to play on specific beats by creating a Marker and
specifying this in the Edit Marker window. (See Markers, pg. 209)
