3. Once Warp Markers are in place, they can be freely moved left and right to
squeeze and stretch audio in time. It’s easiest to hear the effects of warping by
pressing the green Sound tab play button and moving the Warp Markers in
real-time during playback. Feel free to experiment - like all Mixcraft audio
processes, warping is non-destructive, and its operation is easier to wrap your
head around when you’re actually using it!
4. To remove a Warp Marker, right-click it and select Clear. To remove all Warp
Markers from a loop, click the Clear button in the Sound Tab Toolbar.
 Autowarp
Autowarp analyzes audio material and automatically places Warp Markers at
relevant points. It’s particularly useful for “mashup” mixes where two unrelated
songs are to be mixed together. There are four strength settings ranging from sloppy
to tight. Tighter settings add more Warp Markers and affect timing more strongly,
whereas looser settings add fewer Warp Markers and have less effect on the timing
of audio content. By all means, experiment, as different source material responds
better to different settings.
 Quantize
Warp Quantize allows audio material to be quantized much like MIDI notes by
intelligently squashing and stretching rhythmic hits in source material.
 Note Type
This is the quantize value; transients will be moved to the closest note value.
 Sensitivity
The amplitude a transient must reach before Mixcraft considers it a “hit” to
quantize to.
