The Audio Window
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 allows you to access all
digitally stored audio recordings (audio files) are available
in the Wave format (.WAV) or AIFF. All recordings made
using MAGIX midi studio generation 6 are stored as
Wave files.
The Audio window of a MAGIX midi studio generation 6
song is where you organize all the audio files used in the
song on the hard disk. It doesn’t matter whether these au-
dio files have just been recorded or whether they were cop-
ied weeks ago from a CD-ROM onto the hard disk. The
Audio window gives a MAGIX midi studio generation 6
song access to any compatible data on the hard disk.
There is no timing assignment of the recordings in the
Audio window. An audio file contains no information on
its time position in relation to the musical sequencer’s
time axis. This assignment is made by arranging sections
of the audio files, known as “regions”, in the Arrange win-
dow in the same way as MIDI sequences.
The Audio window is really like a catalog for audio files. It
also gives you an overview of what regions have been de-
fined for each audio file.
Here you can define new regions and edit, delete, or re-
name existing ones. When you edit them here, the accu-
racy is limited to units of 256 sample words. To make
more precise edits use the Sample Edit window.
These regions can then be dragged directly into the Ar-
range window, where they now may be arranged as audio
sequences.
The menus in the Audio window contain all the opera-
tions relating to the administration of audio files and re-
gions, plus the System parameters of the hard disk record-
ing hardware (HDR hardware).
Opening the Audio Window
To open the Audio window choose Windows > Open Au-
dio. You can open several Audio windows at once (even
within one Screenset) for example, if you want to use dif-
ferent zoom factors.
