MAGIX audio studio generation 6 can store an unlimited
number of ranges and markers. These and other special
functions to define, change, and use ranges can be found
in the menu Ranges.
To manage saved ranges, use the Range Manager (Menu
‘Tools’).
Moving of Ranges in Small Increments (Keyboard
Shortcuts)
By holding the Shift key and using the cursor keys, ranges
can be moved in small increments. An overview of all
keyboard shortcuts can be found in the Shortcuts section.
Changing Range Ends in Increments Using the
Mouse
This is most often needed when searching for optimized
loop borders in Wave projects. The sections can be split
with a keyboard shortcut (Shortcut: ‘b’) or with Range>Split
Range. All range borders are displayed with a high-
resolution zoom level.
Using Shift + b returns the display to a single section.
Playback of a range
Simply press the space key to playback selected samples.
There are 3 different types of playback. You can control
with the 3 buttons in the top tool bar.
The first one plays the sample or range once,
the second plays the sample or range looped,
the third plays the sample from the beginning and plays
into a loop which is very handy for testing of instrumental
loops. If a certain range is selected, that selection will be
played back again and again.
When you adjust the range (while playback) it will play the
new range immediately. If only a marker is set but not a
range, it will only play from the start of the marker to the
end of the sample. When you set a marker within a range,
it will play a loop from the marker to the end of the range.
You can stop the playback with the space key. The All bit
resolutions can be reflected immediately. Conversion of the
data works in real-time meaning while playback. That
means also a high CPU activity, and sometimes the CPU is
overloaded or not able to process the request at once and
the system stops and/or doesn’t react to any regular stop
and play commands. In this case, you can press ESC to
interrupt the conversion process.
