Menu Playback
There are two alternatives in auto scrolling:
1. The “Soft” option performs a smooth scrolling of the
whole waveform, the play cursor stays in the center of the
display. This mode needs a fast graphics board, because
the complete screen is scrolled between the marker steps.
2. The “Page” option performs a page by page scrolling.
Please note, that the auto scrolling requires certain pro-
cessing power based on your processor, graphic card and
the resolution of the display. For this reason you might en-
counter small interruptions in playing the audio files.
Should this occur simply disable the auto scroll feature or
raise the buffer size (select “Setup” menu and click on “Sy-
stem”).
Scrubbing
While pressing the 0 key on the numeric block (Numlock
active) and moving the mouse you can perform scrubbing.
MAGIX audio studio starts playback at a very low speed,
the mouse position relative to the start play cursor controls
the speed.
There are two scrubbing modes (in playback parameter win-
dow - key p):
Note: When working with smaller buffer sizes (4000, 2000
samples) the scrolling becomes “softer”. Please verify the
performance of your computer system and smaller buffer
sizes to not produce playback interruption.
Relative: The distance between the play cursor and the
mouse sets the playback speed.
Absolute: The position of the mouse in the window sets
the playback speed - at the left border playback speed is
200% backward, at the right border speed is 200 % forward,
in the middle of the window the speed is 0.
There is a real time resampling performed for changing
the playback rate without changing the sample rate of the
sound card. For best performance, use small play buffer
sizes and a fast processor (Pentium recommended)!
A Tip Using Scrubbing: The scrolling becomes “softer“
when using small buffer sizes (2000, 4000 samples). You
may need to test your system for error free playback with
these small settings. Combined with the Soft Scroll mode,
editing becomes very convenient on faster computers.
