MixPad comes with basic editing tools for arranging your projects. The included editing functions are listed below.
Selected Region
Many of the edit functions below apply to a selected region. To select only one clip, just tap on the title of the clip you want to select. To select a region, touch the clip and drag a selection box around the region.
Undo
To Undo is to restore the file to its state before the previous edit function. This is useful if you want to try an edit or just make a mistake. To undo your last action tap Edit --> Undo at the menu.
Cut
To 'cut' is to delete the selected region but to keep a copy on the clipboard so it can be 'pasted' somewhere else. This is useful when moving parts of the audio around in the file.
To cut, select a region and then tap Edit --> Cut.
Copy
To 'copy' is to make a copy of a selected region to the clipboard so you can paste it in another location. This is useful if you want to duplicate a part of the audio and insert (or mix it) in another file.
Select the region and then tap Edit --> Copy.
Paste
Paste can only be used after you have used the Cut or Copy functions (above) to take a selected region to the clipboard.
The paste function replaces the currently selected region (or inserts at the cursor on the selected track if there is no selection). To replace a selection tap Edit --> Paste. To insert tap on the position within a track and tap Edit --> Paste.
Delete
To delete the clip or selected region tap Edit --> Delete. This is similar to the cut function but a copy is not taken to the clipboard.
Trim
To 'trim' is to cut off the beginning or the end of the file. This is useful when you have just recorded a file but there is silence or noise before the start or after the end.
To trim just select the clip you want to trim, select a region which you want to keep, and then tap Edit --> Trim Region, it will trim all the other parts of selected clips and keep the selected region part.
Silence Region
Silence Region can make the selected region silent. Select the clips you want to edit, then select a region. Then tap theEdit --> Silence Region to make the selected region part of clips silence.
Split Clip
Use this option if you want to quickly split the current clip into two small clips. To do this, tap on the position where you want to split the clip and tap the Editing --> Split Clip.
