The Audio Window
culation manually if the audio files don’t contain any over-
view data.
Controlling the Overview Calculation: The calcula-
tion of the overview data for an audio file is shown in a
float window. This calculation is carried on in the back-
ground so you can continue working with MAGIX midi
studio generation 6.
You can position this float
window wherever you
want—the last position is
saved in the Preferences.
Double-clicking this window opens a dialog box.
If you stop the calculation by clicking Abort you can still
play the audio file—but bear in mind that without an over-
view it will not be easy to edit.
Continue carries on the overview calculation in the back-
ground as it normally would.
Clicking Finish transfers the calculation to the foreground
and therefore speeds it up considerably. The disadvantage
is that you cannot use your computer for anything else un-
til it is finished.
Update File Information: By editing an audio file in an ex-
ternal sample editor like MAGIX audio studio artefacts of
the audio file—e.g. its length—may change. If you call up
this function via Audio File > Update File Information
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 will be informed of the
change.
