These operations make it easier for Mixcraft to automatically match up timing and key
signature in a project… in other words, they’ll make making music easier!
AUDIO CLIP PROPERTIES
These settings govern how Mixcraft displays and plays back individual audio clips.
 Channel
If a clip contains a mono audio file, the clip will display one waveform:
If a clip contains a stereo audio file, the clip displays two waveforms atop one another:
If the a track’s height is reduced to a small size, stereo clips will display
only one waveform. (Track height can be restored to normal size by selecting
Track>Properties>Track Height>Normal in the Main Window menus.)
To play back only the left or right channel of a stereo sound, highlight the audio clip
and select Sound>Properties>Channels>Left Channel or Right Channel. (Or Chanel
No5 if smelling nice is your thing.) To restore stereo playback, select select
Sound>Properties>Channels>Stereo.
If a stereo clip is set to play one channel only, Mixcraft addends [Left Channel]
or [Right Channel] to the clip name as a reminder.
 Phase
The Phase setting allows inversion of either or both channels in a stereo file. This
is useful if you’re experiencing frequency cancellation as a result of poorly placed
mics, and can also be used to eliminate monophonic audio content, such as drums,
bass, and lead vocals, in complete mixes.
