The Audio Window
If you click-hold the drive the entire path is displayed. This
way you can see exactly which folder you are recording
into.
Here is an example illustrating the individual steps:
It is usually advisable to store all the audio files from one
recording session or song in its own folder. Let’s suppose
the song you are working on is called “Morning Light”.
– Choose Audio File > Set Audio Record Path.
– Create a new folder by clicking the “folder”symbol in
the file selection box.
– Call the folder something like “Morning Light Audio”
and click Open.
– Now enter a working name for the audio files. It is a
good idea to enter a name which mentions the song and
the type of recording. If you are recording vocals for the
song “Morning Light” you could use something like
“Morning LeadVoc” as a working name.
– Then click Store.
For every new recording a successive number is added to
the name. For example:
Morning LeadVoc.#01
Morning LeadVoc.#02
Morning LeadVoc.#03 …
You can change the path and name whenever you want, by
calling up the Set Record Path function again.
Let’s assume you want to record the lead guitar for our ex-
ample song “Morning Light”. Enter a new name such as
“Morning LeadGuit”.
When you choose the Path remember…
– If the hard disk to which the path leads is not connected
or is switched off, the path is deleted.
– If you rename the drive, MAGIX midi studio genera-
tion 6 will not be able to find it.
Adding Audio Files
If you want to use an audio file stored on the hard disk in
the current song choose Audio File > Add Audio File…, or
simply drag them from Windows to the desired position
in the arrange window.
Click Cancel in the file selection box when you have fin-
ished choosing the files.
The file names will then be listed in the Audio window.
Add Audio Files from CD: If files have been added
from CD, or some other protected volume MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 asks you for a path, so it can copy
these files onto the hard disk.
