DEEP ZOOM AND SAMPLE-LEVEL EDITING

Mixcraft 11 has 53 zoom levels, ranging from a full-project overview all the way down to individual audio samples. The entire position system has been upgraded to 64-bit precision, so editing stays accurate even at the most extreme magnification.

SAMPLE-LEVEL EDITING

At the deepest zoom levels the waveform display shows individual samples. Combine this with zero-crossing detection and snap to make surgically clean edits — cuts land exactly where the waveform crosses zero, eliminating clicks at the edit point. Cuts as small as 0.1 ms are supported, and the waveform is drawn even while recording at sample-level zoom.

ZOOM COMMANDS

  • Zoom To Selection (default hotkey Z) — horizontally zooms so your current selection fills the window, centered. Works in the track area, piano roll, audio editor, and comp editor.

  • Zoom To Full View — context-sensitive: fits all the content of whichever interface is active (the timeline, the current clip in the audio editor, and so on). The playback position isn't moved.

EDITOR REGION HIGHLIGHT

When a clip is open in the Sound tab editor, a thin highlight outline appears on the timeline clip showing which portion of it is currently visible in the editor. The cue is transient — it appears when you scroll or zoom the editor, holds briefly, then fades — and looped clips show one highlight per visible loop. Control it with the Highlight Editor Region On Clips preference on the Display page (on by default).
