Step 1: Click the "?" (Help button) on the Mix Screen to display the Mixman key commands.
The letters on the screen represent the keys on your

track of audio in the song.
Step 2: Begin your mixing session by clicking the Play button on the Mix Screen.
Step 3: Activate a track by holding down its corresponding key on your computer keyboard.
Orange track indicator lights signify which tracks you
have manually activated.
Step 4: To Lock or Unlock a track: while holding down its corresponding key, press either the spacebar.
For example: try locking the bass track by pressing the
"m" key and the spacebar key simultaneously, then let go.
Step 5: Try breaking the mix down by holding down the "Ctrl" key and any other track key simultaneously.
For example: Lock a few tracks in, then manually select
any track and simultaneously hold down the "Ctrl" key.
Notice that all the locked tracks are muted; any tracks
that are manually selected continue to play.
Step 6: Try adding FX to the mix by holding down the "Tab" key.
The FX button pitch shifts the entire mix down
12 half steps (1 octave).
This amount can be changed in the Options Screen.

Mixman is like an instrument: the more you play the better
you'll get. Play Mixman through a big stereo with big speakers
and crank it!!!!!!!
We suggest ADVENT speakers, they sound great!
The line out of your sound card is (most likely) the second output
from the left. This output will connect to the AUX or TAPE input
jacks on your stereo. Most sound cards include the wire to connect
your sound card to your stereo. If you don't have a cord buy one!
You need a: 1/8" male stereo jack -to- dual mono RCA male
Happy mixing :-)
