Introduction

thesizers. As an alternative to the MAGIX synthesizers,

you can also use VST™2.0-instruments.

You can record WAV files both in MAGIX audio studio

generation 6 and MAGIX midi studio generation 6, and

soon you’ll appreciate both possibilities. You can, for in-

stance, draft a song in MAGIX midi studio generation 6,

play it back and simultaneously record sounds with a mi-

crophone. You can transform the MIDI files into WAV

files by using the recording function.

Both studios are only a mouse click apart! Take your audio

tracks from MAGIX midi studio generation 6 to MAGIX

audio studio generation 6 and vice versa. MAGIX music

studio generation 6 lets you do all this and more with a

very user-friendly interface. Right after the first steps,

you’ll be able to use the programs intuitively.

Sound Cards

There are dozens different PC sound cards on the market.

MAGIX music studio generation 6 works with all Win-

dows compatible sound cards, i. e. with all that have a

driver for Windows 32 Bit Operating Systems. These driv-

ers are listed in “Multimedia” of the Windows Control

Panel. It’s safe to assume that all modern sound cards are

Windows compatible.

Most sound cards have a synthesizer-chip for the playback

of MIDI. Additionally, most sound cards support the play

back of digital audio data. If you work with MAGIX music

studio generation 6, your sound card must have separate

drivers for MIDI and Audio playback (which most modern

sound cards do).

MAGIX music studio generation 6 supports all sound

cards that can be addressed via an ASIO or EASI driver.

The available options depend on the specific ASIO or

EASI driver you will be using. Please refer to the instruc-

tions that came with your driver. MME and DirectSound

drivers are supported via so-called MME-to-EASI respec-

tively DirectSound-to-EASI wrapper.

Please note: If you want to use the Waveplayer, you must

use a DirectSound driver. And only DirectSound drivers

allow the simultaneous use of the Waveplayer and digital

audio tracks.

MAGIX music studio generation 6 supports sound cards

with a stereo output. Digital interfaces such as S/PDIF or

AES-EBU are also supported. MAGIX music studio gener-

ation 6 deluxe supports sound cards with up to four audio

outputs.
