Mixers and Audio Objects
You can select which available input the Track object will
record from, by using the input selector switch, found in
the I/O section of the Track object. Click-holding on the
switch will reveal a flip-menu, showing all available inputs
for your hardware. If the record track is stereo, the inputs
will be displayed in pairs (Input 1-2, Input 3-4, etc.). For
mono tracks, they will be displayed individually.
If you are using different audio hardware systems, you can
record on all hardware simultaneously.
Solo: All audio objects have a solo button. This mutes all
other audio objects. The muted objects are marked with a
flashing “M” in the mute button. Please note that this does
not mute MIDI tracks.
You can solo several objects at once.
ctrl-clicking releases other active solo buttons, so that you
only hear one channel (“Interlocking Solo” or “Solo Tog-
gle”).
ctrl-clicking any activated solo button removes the solo sta-
tus from all audio objects.
Solo Safe: When you solo a channel, if you want to hear the
signal together with its effects, the effect return channels
should not be muted. Unlike conventional mixing desks,
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 can scan the entire sig-
nal flow and leave the effect return channels open.
The same applies when you solo an effect return signal.
The channels feeding the effect are muted (“taken out of
the routing”) but their effect sends remain open so that
the effect still receives a signal.
Of course the automatic mute-suppression only applies to
the internal effect returns. If you are using external effect
units via effect objects, the scan will keep the effect master
sends open. However, MAGIX midi studio generation 6
cannot know which of the input objects you are using as
effect returns for the external effect units. You need to
manually switch these input objects to “solo safe”—just
like in a conventional mixing desk.
alt-clicking an inactive solo button makes this audio object
“solo safe”. This stops it being muted when you solo an-
other channel. “Solo safe” status is marked by a cross in
the solo button.
alt-clicking again removes the solo safe status.
Mute Remote Control: Mutes used to be recorded as
Volume Controller events. Now Controller #9 is used in-
stead. This allows you to control muting e.g. via hardware
controllers.
