The Effects
This section covers detailed information about the signal
path and combination of effects in MAGIX audio studio
generation 6.
MAGIX audio studio includes a selection of infinitely va-
riable high-end effects. With some effect combinations,
controlled volume or panorama fades, Cross-fading or the
external DirectX-plug-ins you are able to adjust and fine
tune the sound to every desired result.
Effects in the VIP
For each VIP (menu ‘Effects’ or click right mouse button):
– You can use the effects for sound editing: With the
graphical and the parametrical equalizer you can define
the high, middle and low frequency range of the audio
files.
– Dynamic effects: the compressor will align the volume
level. Compressor effects are usually used for vocals and
bass recordings to avoid unwanted volume changes. The
sound becomes then more compressed and intense. Ex-
panders on the other hand extent the dynamic differences
between the top peaks and the lower sequences. The gater
function suppresses the signal once it is over the defined
level.
– Hall, echo/delay and distortion: Those are the most
common infinitely variable effects used in MAGIX audio
studio generation 6.
– Effects for the reduction of unwanted noises (deLuxe
version only): the de-clipping reduces digital distortion
or clipping on badly cut loops. Noise reduction will
reduce any kind of unwanted background noises.
– Timestretching and Resampling: with time stretching
you can adjust the tempo (BPM= beats per minute) to a
recorded sample. With resampling you can change the
key of a sample. It will change the key and the length of
the sample proportionally. Please note that you should
take this step by step; otherwise you’ll end up with a
„Mickey Mouse“ or „Darth Vader“ effect on voices.
– Surround: Each channel of a stereo tracks will be rotated
180 degree within a phase when you use the surround
mode. This means for the playback on a surround system
that the middle frequency (mono part) of the stereo signal
will play from the back. If both channels of a stereo track
are identical, the entire track will be played from the back.
You should experiment with identical tracks and cross-
