You need to first select the object you want to append. Then
you activate the menu and click on the project you want to
add to the first.
A particular use of this option is the “cleaning up” of VIP’s
that contain numerous physical samples.
Convert > Change Bit Resolution
When using this function, MAGIX audio studio lets you
select the bit resolution of a Wave project.
Notes for Working with 8-bit Wave Projects
Lower resolution audio files are often used for multimedia
applications. A reduction of the resolution to 8-bit is useful,
since the storage requirements are also reduced.
A drawback of lower bit resolutions is the decline of the
signal to noise ratio (SNR). The quantization noise increases
with the lower resolution. The quantization noise is not of
a steady type. In fact, it is modulated by the signal and
appears especially annoying.
By the way, the bit resolution of a project file is always dis-
played in the title bar of the project window. Bit resolu-
tions between 1 and 8 bits use 1 Byte (8 Bit) per sample
value. Resolutions between 9 and 16 bits use 2 Bytes (16
Bit).
If you need to perform multiple processing steps on an 8-
bit Wave project, convert the audio file into a 16-bit project
before starting the processing. Any calculation inaccuracies
occur in the 16-bit realm and are therefore minimized. Also,
some functions in the Effects menu only work with 16-bit
samples. After your are done processing the audio, convert
it back to an 8-bit audio file.
Convert > Mono
The current L&R Wave project is converted into a mono
mode. If it was a stereo project before, both channels will
be mixed. The previous samples are first added with 100%
of their image and then divided by two to prevent over
modulation (distortion). This is an equivalent of reducing
the volume by 6 dB.
Convert > Stereo
The original mono Wave project is duplicated and converted
into a single L&R Wave project with the same sample in
both channels.
