fadings. When you cross-fade two identical stereo tracks
and one track will be played in surround mode you can
fade the middle tone part slowly from the front to the
back speakers. You can activate the surround mode via
the track info dialogue at the left end of each track.
Mixer-Effects
Im mixer window you will find more real-time effects for
your mastering:
–a graphical three-band equalizer for each track
–a stereo enhancer for editing the stereo pans, echo
–a FFT-filter to filter selected frequencies in order to edit
the sound fields.
Effect Calculations and Signal Manipulations
When working with MAGIX audio studio generation 6,
audio material manipulation can be performed on five
levels. The signal flows through these five levels in
sequence:
1. Wave Editing (Destructive Editing),
2. Manipulations on the object level in Virtual projects
(Real-time Processing),
3. Volume and panorama automation, including track
volume fader in the Mixer or VIP (Real-time Processing),
4. Real-time effects in the Mixer tracks (Real-time
Processing),
5. Real-time effects in the Mix Master section (Real-time
Processing).
Significance fo the Effect Processing and Signal Ma-
nipulation Order
The sequence of the effect processing and other
manipulations (volume and panorama automation) often
affects the result. Some effects depend on the input signal
level.
When working with volume, panorama, and filter
manipulations, the sequence is not important. For example,
it is of no significance whether you first apply a filter
function and then change the volume or vice versa. Even
when working with a multiple of effects, the input signal
level is unimportant. Among them are the Reverb, the Delay
(Echo), Resampling and Timestretching, or Pitch Shifting.
However, all Dynamics functions and those that remove or
reduce noise (Dehisser and Noise Reduction) are dependent
on the input signal level and in some cases on the frequency
response of the input signal. If you have found an optimal
