How to Edit Effects in Mixcraft 4.5

by Rick Osborn on January 28, 2010

Recently, one question that keeps coming up about recording and mixing with Mixcraft is that of editing vocal effects. I created a simple tutorial video a while back on how to add simple effects to your voice using Mixcraft. Since then, many have been asking how to actually edit or create a custom effect preset with Mixcraft. In response, here’s a quick overview on how to edit to achieve a particular overall effect on the voice or track. Keep in mind that I do not show you how to achieve a particular sound, but give a general overview of how to tweak the effect presets to achieve a custom, desired result. Using effects when recording vocals or music is purely subjective and really depends upon what you’re trying to achieve as an end result.
