A MixPad project consists of one or more tracks. Each track has its own set of controls on the left side of the screen for controlling the overall volume, pan and other playback features of the track.

Each track can contain an unlimited number of audio clips. Audio clips are the pieces of audio that you wish to mix together into one file. Whenever you add an mp3 file, import from a CD, or make your own recording, an audio clip will be added to the currently selected track.

When you have adjusted all the volumes and fades exactly how you want them, you can output your project to a .wav, .mp3, .gsm or one of many other formats by simply selecting Export Project as Audio File from the File menu and then choosing the format you wish to save in. Alternatively, if you are not finished mixing and want to come back to it later, you can save your project to be reopened for later.
