Bookmarks

Bookmarks are locations within your project that you might frequently want to return to. For example, you can use bookmarks to denote different parts of a song you are creating eg. intro, verse, chorus etc. You can also use bookmarks to create working regions.

The easiest way to use bookmarks in MixPad is via the Bookmark Manager dialog. You can access this dialog by clicking the Bookmarks button on the Tools tab. You can also interact with bookmarks by right clicking on the project timeline. Only the most common bookmark features are available from this point.

Click the Add button in the Bookmark Manager dialog to create a new bookmark at the current cursor location in your project. You can also fine tune the location of the bookmark by changing the parameters in the dialog box. You can specify the location of the bookmark by entering the time in hours/minutes/seconds or using musical timing notation in the form of bars and beats. You can also specify a color for the bookmark.

To edit a bookmark simply highlight the bookmark and click the Edit button in the Bookmark Manager dialog. Alternatively you can drag the bookmark on the project timeline to a new location.

When you want to return to a bookmark you have created, click the Bookmarks button on the Tools tab, and a list of bookmarks will be shown. Click the bookmark you want to return to.

To navigate between the bookmarks you select the bookmark you want to return to in the Bookmark Manager dialog.

If you have more than one bookmark in your project you can quickly select the area between the two bookmarks as a region. Creating a region in this way will allow you to create a section for looping playback and looping recording. Looping recording is a feature which allows you to record multiple takes without having to first stop and restart the recording. To select a region highlight the bookmark which will be the start of the region and click the Select Work Region button in the Bookmark Manager dialog. Remove the work region by clicking the Clear Work Region button.
