In MixMeister, a segment is simply a piece of a song that you can work with. When you drag a song into a Playlist, by default it consists of only one segment. You can, however, split a song into two or more segments.
For example, you can take a ten-minute dance remix and chop it into
a few segments
As you start chopping up songs, remember that MixMeister uses non-destructive editing. No matter how much you edit a segment, you never really change the original music file, so you can always get back to it. There are added benefits, too: your onscreen editing goes much faster and your working files are much smaller. Remember, too, that you can use the "Undo" feature to undo almost anything you do to the Playlist and in the Timeline.
By default, a track has only one segment.
A track split it into two segments, which are separated by a gray line.
Click the segment.
The selected segment is indicated by a highlighted header. (If the
entire song is only one segment, the entire song will be selected.)
In the Timeline, click
a song (or an existing segment) at the point where you want to split it
in two.
A flashing vertical cursor appears.
Right-click the Timeline, and choose Split Segment At Cursor.
Tip
You can also drag across a portion of the song to select it.
Right-click the Timeline, and choose Restore MixMeister’s Original Track Settings.
Caution! If you have
made any changes to the segment—for example, adjusted tempo or increased
the volume—you will lose those changes when you restore the original track
settings.
In the Timeline, click a song that you’ve already split into two or more segments.
Drag the edge of the first segment so it covers the entire second segment.
Repeat Step 2 as necessary.
