“Arming” Tracks
1. Method:
– Click the switch with the red “R” in the track list. If the
switch is still not visible, you should switch on the
driver for the relevant audio hardware in Audio > Audio
Preferences… Audio Driver and then restart MAGIX
midi studio generation 6.
2. Method:
– Open the Track Mixer per key command or from the
Audio window by selecting Windows > Open Mixer).
– Click on the REC button of all the audio objects whose
tracks you wish to record to.
Click the audio object once more (as shown above) to dis-
arm the track again.
You can only make audio recordings on tracks that have
been armed, no matter what track is highlighted in the Ar-
range window.
– If you choose a MIDI track, you’ll record MIDI events.
– If you choose an audio track, you’ll record on all the
tracks that have been armed (record enabled).
– Space is reserved on the hard disk for armed tracks, and
is no longer available for Undo files. For this reason
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 will automatically
disarm audio tracks if editing in the Sample Editor
when the hard disk is nearly full.
– You can record simultaneously on one MIDI track and
several audio tracks together by clicking the MIDI track
and the audio tracks you’re going to record to, while
holding down shift.
If several Arrange window tracks are assigned to the same
audio track (e.g. “Audio 1”), then the new audio file (or re-
gion) will be recorded to the selected track.
“Disarming” all tracks: If several tracks are record-enabled,
you can instantly disable them all at once by clicking one
of the flashing REC buttons while holding down ctrl.
