Introduction

What is MAGIX music studio generation 6?

MAGIX music studio generation 6 uses your PC as a com-

plete, virtual sound studio. Your hard drive becomes a

highly sensitive recording tool. The sound chip of your

sound card, a microphone, your instruments or the

soundtrack of your video become the sound sources. You

have access to two highly optimized programs that are

compatible with each other: MAGIX music studio genera-

tion 6 combines a hard disk recording program with a

MIDI Sequencer.

Harddisk-Recording means digital recording of audio sig-

nals directly to the hard drive. Through the analog/digital

transformer, analog audio signals are transformed into

digital information that are saved to the hard drive as

WAV files.

MIDI means “Musical Instruments Digital Interface” and

controls the sound sources such as synthesizers or sound

cards. A MIDI file only contains information which note is

played when and how whereas WAV files are digital repre-

sentation of real audio signals. That’s why MIDI files are

much smaller than WAV files.

MAGIX audio studio generation 6 allows the perfect re-

cording and editing of sounds in WAV format. On 24 au-

dio tracks (48 with MAGIX audio studio generation 6 de-

luxe), you can work with professional effects and editing

tools—even for real-time editing of video sound tracks.

Per FTP connection you can use the internet as a bound-

less image and sample pool and load the multimedia

building blocks from the World Wide Web directly into

your arrangement. The MAGIX web publishing area is

there for the publishing of your work—one mouse click

takes you into the charts. Every surfer is entitled to vote,

the best songs and videos will receive attractive prices…

MAGIX midi studio generation 6 controls the synthe-

sizer-chip on your sound card (or of external MIDI instru-

ments). In addition you get a polyphonic Waveplayer with

filter and envelope capabilities, allowing you to play your

WAV files as if you were using them in an external sam-

pler. Furthermore the MAGIX midi studio generation 6

features 256 MIDI tracks (1.000 with MAGIX midi studio

generation 6 deLuxe) on which you can simultaneously

record and playback. And finally you get 4 (6 with MAGIX
