Song Settings and Preferences
Normalize is generally a safe, and usually beneficial type
of data edit. Switch this option off, if you want to remove
the Undo option for the normalize function.
Display Color in Audio Window: If audio regions in the Ar-
range window are very brightly colored, it can sometimes
be difficult to make out the waveform display in the Audio
window. You can, therefore revert to a black and white dis-
play here.
Release Audio in Background if Stopped: When you switch
on this option, MAGIX midi studio generation 6 releases
the audio hardware whenever playback stops. This allows
you to switch to another program , like a Sample Editor,
which also needs to use the audio hardware, without hav-
ing to quit MAGIX midi studio generation 6 first.
Prepare Audio Playback when Stopped: Normally at the
start of a recording—or playback—all audio files at the
song position are prepared for playback. Depending on
the number of tracks, and type of system, this can take
anywhere from a fraction of a second, to over a second. In
some situations, you might prefer to bypass this prepara-
tion of all the playback tracks, to allow you to start record-
ing immediately. In such a case, you should switch on this
option. Recording (and MIDI playback) can then begin
straight away, although the audio tracks will not start play-
ing until a few seconds later.
Create overview after recording: Creating the overviews is
time-consuming. If you don’t want to waste time directly
after recording, you can deactivate this check box.
Global Instrument Tune: With this parameter you can tune
all audio instruments plug-ins at once. Unit is cent, which
is 1/100 of a semitone, and the range is ± 50 cents.
Audio Drivers
On the pages Audio Driver and Audio Driver 2 you can ac-
tivate and deactivate the audio engine of MAGIX midi stu-
dio generation 6. Uncheck the boxes left of each driver to
effectively turn MAGIX music studio generation 6 into a
MIDI only application which can run on computers with
less RAM. Remember that any alterations made will not
become valid until the next program startup.
