Audio: Recording and Playback
Copying and Moving Regions
In the Arrange window, regions (and MIDI sequences)
can be shifted by dragging them with the mouse. If you
hold ctrl while dragging, a copy is created. To select several
regions or sequences hold shift while clicking or select
them by collecting them in a rubber band. During shift-
ing, the selected regions or sequences will always jump to
a grid position. The grid corresponds to the divisions visi-
ble on the bar ruler. It can be changed all the way down to
the nominator of the beat type using the horizontal tele-
scope.
If you want to use the format value as grid, hold alt while
shifting. The format value is displayed in the Transport
bar, in a field just under where the Time Signature is dis-
played. If you don’t want to use any grid, hold alt-shift
while shifting. This way, the regions and sequences are
shifted by single ticks, which is useful to correct rhythmic
irregularities in single song syllables.
Recording the Input
Just as with professional multi-track devices, MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 does not provide a Record Level. The
analog recording must be adjusted using the source de-
vice. Typically, this would be the sub-group fader of an an-
alog mixer. However, the channel of the on-screen mixer
provides a record level display which you can use to mon-
itor the recording level. To display this record level, dou-
ble-click on the audio track name. Digital inputs cannot be
adjusted during recording—which is not necessary under
that circumstance anyway.
