Track window and constant control elements 43
Volume control/Auto button
This controller sets the playback level of the track. Before
exporting, the project should be set as loud as possible in
order to receive an optimally calibrated recording level. The
"Auto" button below the volume control is for automatically
optimizing the volume (normalizing).
In order to set the volume of the project as high as possible,
place the position line just before the loudest part of the
project and start playback. (The loudest position can be
found by locating the highest peak of the waveform
display).
After you have played the loudest part, click on the "Auto" button below the master
volume control. MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013 automatically adjusts the volume
so that the loudest part of the range just played back is exactly 0 dB - this will be the
maximum volume.
Note: The volume controller adjusts the volume of the project which means that it
will be exported at this volume. If you set the level lower, the project will be exported
at a lower volume. It is better to adjust the monitor volume with the sound card
mixer or directly on your stereo system (e.g. monitor speakers) and to leave the
volume control at the position recommended by the "Auto" button.
To adjust the monitor volume in the sound card mixer, you can click on the
loudspeaker symbol in the notification area (at the right bottom corner of the screen).
However, you can also adjust it directly in the "Playback parameters" (view page 150)
dialog.
Control display
The display beside the volume control is a peak meter and shows the peak level of the
audio in the track during playback. For stereo tracks the the left bar shows the level of
the left channel and the right bar shows the level of the right channel. Both bars react
together for mono tracks.
Limiter
The limiter can be switched on to reduce clipping. This device
works sound-neutrally and provides a final guard against extreme
levels.
