 ==== Loops ====
 The ability to either create your own beds with clips from songs or loops from [[http://freesound.org]] means that you can compose and improv in addition to mixing songs together.
+The quick way of setting a loop is to position the playhead of your deck on the first beat of the loop, and then, in the beat matrix at the bottom of the deck, click the number of beats you want the loop to cover.
+[{{ mixxxloop.jpg | Create a loop in Mixxx.}}]
+Double the number of beats with the ''Plus'' or halve them with the ''Minus'' buttons on either end of the beat buttons.
+You can also set in and out points manually with the loop marker buttons to the right of the beat buttons. Move your audio to the beginning of the loop and click the ''in'' marker. Move the audio to the outpoint of the loop and click the ''out'' marker. Now the loop is set.
+You can loop the entire sound or song loaded in your deck with the loop playback button located next to the audio waveform summary in the deck.
+==== Hot Cues ====
+Hot cues marks are like bookmarks. To activate one, place the playhead of your deck at whatever point you want to mark in the audio, and click the numbered buttons on the far right of the deck controls. Right-click to erase a mark.
+Once a mark has been set, clicking the mark again will send the audio straight to that point. This is useful for on-the-fly looping or quick shuttling in larger music tracks.
+==== Sample Decks ====
+In addition to the standard two playback decks along the top of the Mixxx window, there are several sampler decks which can be used to play sounds or songs through a simpler interface. Activate the sample decks from the **View** menu → **Show Samplers**.
+The sample decks work much like the playback decks. They also have hot cues, playback looping, pitch and tempo control.
+Since the sample decks are separate from the two main playback decks, they can be routed as either universal sound outs, or they can be routed to either the left or the right (decks, not channels) playback output. To route the sound of a sampler deck, click the **M** button on the far right of the deck.
+===== Recording a Mix =====
+All performances can be recorded right from within Mixxx.
+To start a recording, press ''ctrl'' ''r'' on your keyboard, or select the **Options** menu → **Record Mix**.
