Monitoring
This option allows you to switch monitoring (i.e. listening
to the actual input signal) on or off. Please note that mon-
itoring is processed only via software—a certain delay is
inevitable. If you are listening to the recorded signal
through your mixing desk, you should switch this option
off.
Volume Smoothing [ms]
This parameter defines the length of the fade between two
consecutive volume values for an audio track. When set-
ting this value to 0 you might hear zipper noise when
moving a volume fader during playback. Higher values
soften the volume changes and eliminate the zipper noise.
Max. Number of Audiotracks
The Audio Engine requires free system memory. The
amount of memory needed depends on the maximum
number of tracks to be played, and on the number of I/O
channels supplied by the driver. This setting allows you to
reduce the amount of memory used by the driver, by re-
ducing the number of tracks. This may be sensible when
you want to run other applications or audio hardware
types simultaneously.
Larger Disk Buffer
This option influences the amount of audio data that is
read from the disk in advance. This option is switched off
by default, matching the demands of fast hard drives and
powerful computers. If you get frequent error messages
while running your MAGIX midi studio generation 6 in
this mode, you should switch this setting on, so that you
can play back more tracks, achieving higher reliability.
However, more RAM is needed in this case.
Larger Process Buffer
This parameter determines the size of the native buffer
used to compute mixers and effects. Do not activate this
option if you own a fast computer. This shortens response
times to operations such as volume changes or Solo. Ex-
periment to find the setting that coaxes the best perfor-
mance from your system.
Only available for ASIO are the following parameters.
Clock Source
This let’s you choose between the internal synchroniza-
tion via MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s internal clock
and external synchronization received via the digital input
of the sound card.
