dio list. Now click the button with the speaker symbol to
start playback. Click the button again to stop playback.
As well as using the mouse, you can also start or stop this
type of playback using the “Play/Stop Region” key com-
mand.
Stereo playback: If a region from a stereo file is selected,
clicking the speaker icon plays both sides of the stereo file.
However, if you click the icon while holding down ctrl or
shift only the selected region (mono) is played. If you sub-
sequently select a region from another stereo file, MAGIX
midi studio generation 6 goes back to playing in stereo.
Region Cycle: Regions may be looped continuously dur-
ing monitoring. To switch “region cycle” on or off, click
the button with the circular arrow symbols. This mode ap-
plies to all regions in the Audio window.
This cycling only affects the monitoring in the Audio win-
dow and has no effect on song playback. It should not be
confused with the cycle function in the Arrange window.
You can adjust the start and end points of the region in
real time while the region is being cycled. This is useful
for setting precise region lengths, for example when “pol-
ishing” drum loops.
Choosing the Audio Output for Monitoring: The
actual routing of the audio signals to the different outputs
is done in the Arrange window (using the audio object in
the track list).
However, you can choose a specific channel of the audio
hardware for monitoring in the Audio window. Set the de-
sired output in the Cha button below the speaker icon.

The Audio List
The list display of the audio files and regions, (known as
the audio list) gives an overview of all the audio files used
in the current song and the regions contained within
them. This is where audio files can be added, removed, de-
leted, or renamed. Regions can also be created, deleted
and renamed.
Hiding and Showing Regions: After you add an audio
file, you can see the file name in the Audio window in
large print. This takes up minimal screen space, and
shows you as many currently used files as your zoom set-
ting and monitor size will allow. There is a small triangu-
lar arrow directly next to the file name 1.
