Can one of the admins verify this patch?

Say: "add to whitelist" to add this user to the whitelist for future PRs.
Say: "ok to test" to start a Jenkins build.
Say: "skip ci" to skip the Jenkins build.
Say: "test this please" to trigger a re-build.

Thanks.

Throughout the last 3 months I have worked on a new feature called "Mixxx Macros", inspired by [Serato Flip](https://serato.com/dj/pro/expansions/flip), as part of the [Google Summer of Code 2020](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4641898733502464).
It enables you to create edits of your tracks without having to dive into a DAW and modify the audio files!

## Recording a Macro

This sounds more interesting and not like a technical manual. 😄

#### Preparation
- Make sure quantize is enabled so everything is aligned to the beats
- Set hotcue 1 before and hotcue 2 after the part of the breakdown to loop (hotcue 2 is merely a marker for orientation) and hotcue 4 at the start of the second drop. You also check the position of the cue at the beginning of the track.

Let's not go overboard with headlines and lists. Too many headlines disrupt the reading flow and don't add value.

#### Recording
First, make sure quantize is enabled so everything is aligned to the beats, then you can start prepare your track.
For this macro, you need to set hotcue 1 before and hotcue 2 after the part of the breakdown to loop (hotcue 2 is merely a marker for orientation).
Another hotcue (e.g. hotcue 4) needs to be set at the start of the second drop.
Also, check the position of the main cue and make sure that it's at the beginning of the track.

6. Scroll or scratch to the start of the first drop. Activate hotcue 4.
7. Stop recording by pressing Macro slot 1 again.

Whenever you load this track now, unless another Macro is recorded or you manually disable it, this Macro will automatically be enabled.
