The mixer
In the mixer you control each track in the arrangement separately: how loud it is, whether it is muted and whether it plays on its own. That way you can bring out your own part or practise without it.
Open the mixer
The mixer is in the player panel below the playback controls. Drag the panel up if you can't see all the tracks, and down again to make it smaller. The music keeps playing.
Click the mixer button on the far right of the player's bottom bar. On a small screen the mixer opens from the bottom, on a larger screen as a panel on the right. Click the button again to close it.
A track in the mixer
Each track in the arrangement has a row (a column in the web app) with:
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| The track's name | For example Soprano, Alto or Accompaniment. |
| Volume slider | Drag to raise or lower the track. |
| M (mute) | Silences the track. Tap again to hear it again. |
| S (solo) | Plays only this track. Tap again to hear all tracks. |
If an arrangement has many tracks in the web app, arrows appear at the sides. Click them to see more tracks.
Mute a track (M)
- You can mute several tracks at once.
- If you mute a track that is soloed, the solo is removed.
- In the web app the track goes back to the volume it had when you unmute it.
Solo a track (S)
- Only one track at a time can be soloed. If you solo another track, the solo moves there.
- If you solo a muted track, it is unmuted.
- Tap S again to hear all the tracks as before.
Turn a track off completely Only in the mobile app
Only in the mobile app
Tap the track's name to turn the track off. The name turns grey, the track is removed from the sound, and M and S can't be used. Tap the name again to turn the track on.
Some devices can't play all tracks at once. The mobile app then turns some tracks off itself and shows This device cannot play all tracks at once. You can turn them on one by one.
Resetting the mixer
Tap the button with a round arrow (Reset mix and playback settings) in the mixer. The volumes go back to the default and a selected part is removed.
The default is the arrangement's own levels, or your own default levels per voice part if you have set them, see Playback settings.
Click Reset mixer below the tracks. All tracks go back to the arrangement's default volume.
Is the mixer saved?
- The mobile app saves the mixer for each arrangement on the device: volumes, muted tracks, solo and turned-off tracks, as well as the tempo, the loop and the selected part. The next time you open the arrangement, everything is as you left it.
- The web app starts with the arrangement's default volumes every time you open it.
Tips
- Solo your part and lower the tempo to learn a difficult phrase.
- Lower your own part a little instead of muting it, so you can hear whether you sing it right together with the others.
- Mute your own part when you know it, and sing it yourself with the other tracks.
