# Guides

Guides are where the core workflow opens up.

Once you can browse, assign, loop, scene, and mix, use this section to go deeper on one tool or one decision at a time.

## Start with these

If you are still building confidence, these are the highest-leverage guides:

* [Chopping And Slicing](/guides/chopping-and-slicing) if one sample needs to become a playable instrument with trims, chops, and transient snap
* [Scene Arrangement](/guides/scene-arrangement) if your loops work but the song does not
* [Mixer And Effects](/guides/mixer-and-effects) if the parts are there but the record still feels flat
* [Exporting And Bouncing](/guides/exporting-and-bouncing) when the idea is ready to print and share

## Use guides when

* you want the "why" behind a feature, not just the shortcut
* you know the sound or result you want, but not the cleanest way to get there
* a feature has enough depth that a quick recipe would hide important tradeoffs
