Where your recordings are kept
Every take you record in Mix//Sync is saved on the computer you recorded it on, while you play. Nothing is uploaded. That's what keeps a take safe through a crash, and it's also why one habit matters: download the takes you want to keep.
Saved while you play
The take is saved to your computer as it records, not only when you stop. If the tab closes or the browser crashes in the middle of a set, the take is still there the next time you open Mix//Sync.
What happens if
You close the tab while recording
Your browser asks whether you really want to leave before it closes.
You press Leave
Mix//Sync's own Leave button stops the take and keeps it on this computer before you go.
The music stops and you walk away
If you pressed Rec before the music started, the take stops by itself after five minutes of silence. A take you started with music already playing keeps going until you stop it.
Your partner drops out
In a back-to-back, your recording keeps going on your side without a gap, and your decks keep playing.
You're in Private Browsing
Recordings aren't kept when a private tab closes. Download the take before you close it.
Where to find a take
When you stop, a Recording finished card appears in the corner, where you can name the mix and say who played. Your recordings are also listed on your home page, and your newest one plays back there with the tracks you played. If you come back to a take you haven't saved, it waits on your home page with a Save button.
Download is the copy you keep
Until you download it, a take lives only in this browser, on this computer. Another browser or another computer won't see it, and clearing this site's data from your browser removes it. Press Download on the card, or on your home page, to save the take as a 320 kbps MP3 on your computer. That file is yours to back up, rename and post wherever you share your mixes.
Deleting a take
Mix//Sync never removes a take to make room. To throw one away, press Delete on the card twice.
A few habits that help
- Download each take you care about on the day you record it.
- Make sure your disk has room to spare. A long set takes space while it records.
- Press Rec before the first record, not after. It waits for the music, so nothing is lost at the top.
