Setting Hooks

Hooks are typically the most recognisable parts of Songs, usually a section of the chorus. Hooks can be used by Myriad to create AutoHooks to promote Songs playing soon or in the Live AutoHook Player. Hooks are typically only set on Songs and should be kept short (2 to 4 seconds) for best effect.

1. Select a Song Media Item on the Media Wall.

2. Click on the Edit button on the Home ribbon or right click on the Media Item and select the Edit option.

3. Click the Play button on the Edit Window to begin playback.

4. You can use the Fast Forward button to skip forward in the Song. You can also click in the waveform to advance playback to that position.
