Regions in the Arrange Window
Creating Regions
When you record audio, MAGIX midi studio generation 6
automatically creates regions which represent your re-
cording both in the Arrange window and Audio window.
To import an existing audio file recorded in another appli-
cation or from another MAGIX midi studio generation 6
song, it is necessary to manually place the region into the
Arrange window.
Immediately after importing audio files from other songs,
we recommend physically copying the files to the current
song folder using the Audio window function “Copy
Files”. Answer “Change References?” with “Yes”, other-
wise destructive editing of these audio files will also affect
the original song.
To play back a region at a specified point in a song, you
have to place the region in the Arrange window first (sec-
tion Adding a Region to the Arrangement from page 189 on-
wards).
A quick reminder: when you place regions onto tracks,
don’t forget to allocate each track its own audio object. For
more information about this, take a look at the section Au-
dio Tracks: Basics from page 149 onwards.
Inserting Audio Files using the Pencil tool: Audio
files can be inserted by shift-clicking on audio tracks with
the Pencil tool at the desired position. A file selector ap-
pears that lets you choose the file you wish to insert. The
length of new regions inserted in this way defaults to the
complete file length, which can be freely edited later.
Dividing Regions: When you divide a region using the
scissors tool, you create two new regions. The newly cre-
ated segments of the region take the same name and ap-
pend it with a sequential number.
Resolution: When you are selecting a cutting point with the
scissor tool, you can move it backwards and forwards in
steps of one division. If you need a finer resolution, press
alt after you have selected the sequence with the scissor
point. To obtain the maximum resolution (ticks) press
shift, as well.
Erasing Regions
Regions can be erased either by selecting them and press-
ing backspace, or by clicking on them with the Eraser tool.
