The basics
Your Studio Equipment probably consists of one or more
Multi Timbral Sound Module(s) with stereo analogue out-
puts, Microphone(s) and Guitar Pre-Amps or similar ana-
logue signal sources, as well as a solid (hardware) Mixing
desk (analogue or digital, at any rate a separate device). A
chapter in the Installation Handbook describes how to
connect these instruments to the audio in- and outputs,
or, as the case may be, the respective Sound Card for
MAGIX midi studio generation 6. With your Hardware
Mixing desk you route the various signals that you want to
record, using Subgroups when possible, to MAGIX midi
studio generation 6’s Recording Inputs (i.e. the Sound
Card). The Hardware Mixing desk also contains the re-
quired separate Microphone Pre-Amplifier. In the sim-
plest case these tasks could also be done by separate Mi-
crophone Pre-Amps (Voice Processor, for instance) or by
Sound Modules with integrated Mixing functions. The
Hardware Mixing desk, however, performs a further func-
tion, mixing the analog signals from your MIDI multi tim-
bral sound module with the MAGIX midi studio genera-
tion 6 Audio output signals from the soundcard.
– MAGIX midi studio generation 6 mixes the Audio
Signals that are fed to the Sound Card with its own
effects.
– The instrumental part levels and the effect levels, that
is, the entire mix of the signal output by your sound
module, is remotely controlled by MAGIX midi studio
generation 6.
– The Track Mixer performs both of the following func-
tions simultaneously: The control of the MIDI multi
timbral sound machine (that is Level, Pan, Effects of
the different Parts) as well as mixing the audio tracks
within MAGIX midi studio generation 6 (Level
controls, Panning and so on). The actual electrical
mixing together, resulting in the stereo signal that you
will hear from the speakers, is once again the job of the
Mixing Desk.
– Any mixing action in Logics mixers, that is: every move-
ment of a fader or knob can be recorded simply by
pressing the record button. Afterwards, the passage
with the recorded movements of the controls can be
played back, and you will see how the knobs move just
as you have recorded them. Since the data controlling
these knobs are MIDI controller events, you can edit
