This is useful for correcting recordings with switched channels. This function
can be reversed if you don't re-select the range; opening it again will bring
back the original material.
Invert phase
The sample data is inverted along the amplitude axis, which means that
negative values become positive and vice versa. This function allows you to
adjust recordings with different phases to one another.
An incorrect phase occurs if during an analog recording parallel cables are
switched. To correct such errors, some mixers have a switch that can be used
to invert the phase of an input. If you press the switch by mistake, errors
might occur as well.
This function is reversible, so if you repeat it, the original signal is restored.
Backwards
When Backwards is applied the sound file will be played in reverse. This way
you can create very interesting effects, not to mention the “hidden messages”
in many songs...
Plug-ins
With this dialog you can use Microsoft's DirectX-compatible plug-ins for effect
calculation in MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX. This allows you to use almost
any effect algorithm from 3rd-party producers.
The difference between these plug-ins and those in the mastering section is
that here (as with the other effects in the "Effects" menu) the effects do not
occur in real time. That's why here you can use plug-ins which can't be
applied in realtime due to lacking compatibility or system resources.
