| Throughout the last 3 months I have worked on a new feature called "Mixxx Macros", inspired by [Serato Flip](https://serato.com/dj/pro/expansions/flip), as part of the [Google Summer of Code 2020](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4641898733502464). | ||
| It enables you to create edits of your tracks without having to dive into a DAW and modify the audio files! | ||

This sounds more interesting and not like a technical manual. 😄

| #### Preparation | ||
| - Make sure quantize is enabled so everything is aligned to the beats | ||
| - Set hotcue 1 before and hotcue 2 after the part of the breakdown to loop (hotcue 2 is merely a marker for orientation) and hotcue 4 at the start of the second drop. You also check the position of the cue at the beginning of the track. | ||

Let's not go overboard with headlines and lists. Too many headlines disrupt the reading flow and don't add value.

| #### Recording | |
| First, make sure quantize is enabled so everything is aligned to the beats, then you can start prepare your track. | |
| For this macro, you need to set hotcue 1 before and hotcue 2 after the part of the breakdown to loop (hotcue 2 is merely a marker for orientation). | |
| Another hotcue (e.g. hotcue 4) needs to be set at the start of the second drop. | |
| Also, check the position of the main cue and make sure that it's at the beginning of the track. | |
| 6. Scroll or scratch to the start of the first drop. Activate hotcue 4. | ||
| 7. Stop recording by pressing Macro slot 1 again. | ||

| ## Play back your macro |
| Whenever you load this track now, unless another Macro is recorded or you manually disable it, this Macro will automatically be enabled. | ||
| ... explain looping | ||
