Content Cells are at the heart of Mixtikl and what you can do with it, and Mixtikl's support for Sonoma AudioCopy and AudioPaste makes it a snap to get audio loops and recordings into and out of Mixtikl. It also makes it easy to find compatible apps which you can copy to/paste from. For further general or usage details other than as given below, please visit the Sonoma AudioCopy / AudioPaste webpage on the Sonoma website.

AudioCopy and AudioPaste by Sonoma Wire Works

Mixtikl also supports copy and paste via the Apple General Pasteboard, but it is more limited in scope and does not pass meta information about loops such as tempo.

Sonoma AudioCopy (iDevice Only - Figures 1-4)

1. 
   Select the Mix Recording Button from the Mixer Screen (see also Navigation).
   • If you get a pop-up message saying that you cannot record the mix because it uses locked content, then you either need to go to the in-app store to unlock that content and then try again, or simply create a mix that does not use any locked content.
2. Select the item you want to copy from the list, then "Clipboard" button in Figure 1.
3. You will get a pop up message (Figure 2) asking you to choose the export clipboard you want to copy it to. Select the AudioCopy button.
   • Apple General Pasteboard (or "Cancel")
     • Choose this for basic copy
   • Sonoma AudioCopy (or "Pasteboard")
     • Choose this to use AudioCopy
4. Select the "Copy Audio" button on the Sonoma AudioCopy control to copy the recording (Figure 3).
5. Select the compatible App you want to paste into (Figure 4) and it should launch; or press the Done button to cancel out of this screen.
6. From the App you have selected, use Sonoma Paste within that App to paste the recording into the app.

Sonoma AudioPaste (iDevice Only - Figures 5-16)

1. Select a Content Cell to display the Content Cell Menu (Figure 5).
2. Select the Import button and you will get a pop up message (Figure 6) asking you to choose where you want to copy your recording it from. Choose the Audio Paste button.
   • Apple General Pasteboard (or "Cancel")
     • Choose this for basic paste (no tempo or other information is carried over)
   • Sonoma AudioPaste (or "Pasteboard")
     • Choose this to use AudioPaste
3. In the Sonoma AudioPaste control (Figure 7), select "Source" to display the "Paste From" control.
4. From the "Paste From" control (Figure 8) choose the App / Recording you want to paste and then select the Done button.
5. Back in the Sononma AudioPaste control you can select the "Paste To" control to select mono/stereo, but you should leave the "Loops" control to just 1, as you can use Cell Repeat in Mixtikl to control the number of times you want the loop to repeat. Once done, select the Paste button and the loop will be pasted into the Mixtikl content cell you started from. You will see a message saying informing you of AudioPaste success (Figure 9).
6. The Save screen (Figure 10) is displayed, with a name already in the edit field (Appname_Date_Time) to make it quicker to get the recording in, and you do not have to change this if you do not want to. Press OK in the pop up message to be able to edit the name (Figure 11), and then the bottom Return button when ready.
7. You see a message telling you that the file has be copied to the User Content folder (Figure 12).
8. Press OK to see the Imported File Meta Info screen (Figure 13) . We make a guess at the Tempo and Bars of the recording from information we can back from Sonoma AudioPaste, but it depends on the App you are pasting from, so please double check! You will need to set the Root and Time Sig settings if different from those shown.
9. Once done, press the OK button and you see a message saying that the Import is done (Figure 14). Once you press OK to dismiss this message you will see the name of the recording appear in the Content Cell. It can take a little while for the name to appear, especially for big recordings, as Mixtikl is loading the recording into memory so that it is ready to play. To copy this recording to other cells, use the Copy command in the Tools menu.
