You can add clips from your computer, rip a clip from a disc, or add an empty midi clip to record on a track using a midi controller. Imported clips will be added to the selected track. You can also record your audio tracks directly into MixPad by enabling recording
on the selected track, then clicking on either the record icon underneath the Home tab or on the record button at the bottom of the program.
