Acoustica Mixcraft 7 - Manual (Page 78)

72
Mixcraft adjusts the pitch by the shortest distance between two keys. For example,
if the project key was G and the sound’s key was F, it will adjust it by +2 semitones,
instead of -10 semitones.
 Transpose
This gives manual control over the playback key of audio. It’s useful if you don’t want
audio to follow Mixcraft’s project key setting or obey key changes on the timeline.
You can type in a partial amount such as 1.26 semitones or use the up/down to
adjust pitch in semitones up to 24 semitones in either direction. You might use this
option to fix a slightly off key vocal performance or transpose a sound into a key
you are more familiar with.
 No Pitch Adjustments
If Use Project Key and Transpose are both deselected, No Pitch Adjustments appears
beneath the buttons and audio will play “as is” with no pitch transposition.
SOUND TAB – TIME SUB TAB
These controls let you fine tune a clip’s location in the Main Clip Grid as well its length
and looping parameters. If the project is set to Beats mode in the top toolbar (next to
the handsome Mixcraft 7 logo) the edit boxes display in measures, beats, and partial
beats. If the project is set to Time mode, the edit boxes display positions in minutes,
seconds, and milliseconds. Helpful hint: you can use the mouse scroll wheel to quickly
set values by clicking in the number fields and spinning.
