Quickstart
the monitor LED peakmeters might actually react a little
bit sluggish depending on the computer speed of your sys-
tem. This is because MAGIX audio studio monitors the
audio signal that is recorded from the buffers, which are
lagging behind to ensure that the recording process takes
top priority.
4. At the desired length click the Stop button.
MAGIX audio studio stops the recording and display a dia-
logue that basically asks you to confirm the recording.
You have a choice to redo your recording at this point. If
you click on the Delete button, you return to the Record
Parameter window and you can redo your recording all over.
If you click on the OK button, MAGIX audio studio will
insert a new object at the beginning of the first track.
The second track
Now that we have successfully recorded the first track, we
can move on to record the second track. Depending on
whether you have one of the sound cards that allow for
simultaneous playback and record, you will be able to moni-
tor the first track while you record the second track.
To record the second track:
1. Disable the REC button on the first track .
2. Click on the REC button on the second track.
3. Click on the Record button in the toolbar.
The Record Parameter dialogue appears on the screen and
allows you to make further choices. Since we want to
monitor the already existing track, we will need to enable
the option Playback while Recording.
Note: This requires that you have a sound card that is
capable of simultaneously recording and playing back audio.
If you do not have such a card and your system, MAGIX
audio studio will generate a error display indicating that
there is some problem with your sound card. This is nor-
mal as MAGIX audio studio is not able to address the card
for the simultaneous playback and record functionality, also
referred to as full-duplex.
4. Click on the Monitor button.
5. Start the audio for the second track or sing into the
microphone. If the levels need to be adjusted again,
please do so now.
6. Click on the Record button or press the ‘R’ key.
