The Audio Window
Adding a Region to the Arrangement: To add a re-
gion to the song arrangement, drag its graphic display into
an open Arrange window to create an audio sequence.
First select the desired track in the Arrange window and
move the song position line to the position where you
want to create the audio sequence.
Grab the middle of the graphic display of the region in the
Audio window and drag it into the Arrange window.
Don’t worry if the region starts to play. It will stop playing
as soon as you move the mouse pointer outside the Audio
window. You can prevent this by using the region drag
tool (the small hand with the outstretched fingers), or by
grabbing the name of the region in the Audio List and
dragging it into the Arrangement.
File Administration
Record File
Defining the Record Path: Every recording in the Ar-
range window creates a new audio file. To keep track of
your recordings, you should tell MAGIX midi studio gen-
eration 6 where the data is to be written before you start
recording.
You can also define a file name for the audio files that are
recorded—a kind of working title—which MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 will automatically keep using, by ap-
pending a series of numbers to the file name for every
subsequent recording.
The path (folder) for audio recordings can be set individu-
ally for each song. You can also have different paths for
different audio hardware systems running simulta-
neously.
To call up the dialog window for these settings, open the
Audio window and choose Audio File > Set Audio Record
Path… or open the Record menu (click-hold the Record
button). The menu entries are:
Pre-Allocate Recording Files: If this option is selected,
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 creates the audio file for
the next recording after you record-enable the track. In ad-
dition, at the end of every recording, the audio file for the
next recording is immediately created. This allows you to
start audio recordings quickly.
Unused recording files are deleted when you quit MAGIX
midi studio generation 6.
