The fade curve can be adjusted from linear to exponential
or logarithmic.
Notice that real time fading is applied to virtual projects
only (with handles). For all other projects (RAM and HD),
the sample data is physically altered.

DirectX Plug-Ins
This function allows you to use Microsoft DirectX
compatible plug-ins with MAGIX audio studio. This
complements the already existing superb effects with an
unlimited number of 3
rd
-party effects.
The Mixer in MAGIX audio studio is also compatible with
plug-ins, which can be used as real-time effects. However,
the plug-ins have to be able to process the audio data blocks
immediately and completely, without changing the length
of the material. This is the case for most plug-ins (i.e. Wave
Native Powerpack, Power Technology DSP FX, Arboretum
Hyperprism, TC Native Reverb and others). Other algo-
rithms will fail, such as time stretching plug-ins, since they
are based on changing the length of the material.
The menu Effects does not pose these limitations. All
available plug-ins should work, even if they change the
length of the audio material or temporarily off-load the data
blocks (i.e. Sonic Foundry Acoustic Modeler).
Working with the Plug-Ins
After opening the plug-in dialog, a list of installed DirectX
Plug-Ins is visible. Double clicking on a specific plug-in
moves the plug-in to the left side of the dialog. The left side
shows the active plug-ins. At the same time the plug-in is
moved into the active plug-in list, the dialog for the chosen
plug-in is displayed. The DirectX plug-in dialog allows you
to make further settings for the effect. Additional double
clicks on entries in the right-side list add other plug-ins to
the active plug-in list on the left side. Please make sure that
