How to Finish a Song on Mixcraft
Mixcraft is multitrack audio and MIDI recording software that allows anyone to record an audio track, add sound effects or virtual instruments and edit tempo and sound. When saving tracks, the default type is the Mixcraft project file (MX4). As long as you do not change the file type, the track will remain editable in Mixcraft. However, this file type is only readable by Mixcraft and prevents you from sharing your files with friends and family. Once you consider the track perfected, Mixcraft offers the ability to mix down, or finish, the file as variety of universally readable file types.
