through the Mixer. Use the controls in the Mixer window
to create a mix. In addition, any VIP object is also played
back while the live inputs are processed.
Latency
The audio processing in MAGIX audio studio obviously
takes time. This may lead to small delays at the outputs
versus the incoming signal. This delay is very much de-
pendent on the VIP Buffer size. The latency can be reduced
by using smaller VIP buffer settings. Use settings that
enable the program to process the real-time audio without
introducing any errors. A setting of 4 buffers at a buffer
size of 8000 stereo samples creates a delay of 0.7 seconds.
A buffer size reduction to 2000 samples results in a delay
of only 0.2 seconds. Experiment with the buffer settings to
find the optimal settings for your system!
The latency may not make it possible to use the Live Input
Mode to replace an analog effects device. However, it leaves
room for some very interesting application aspects.
MAGIX audio studio as Live Effect Processor
If you are looking for fancy effects that are not offered by
effect units in your rack, try to use some of the integrated
effects in MAGIX audio studio. A live signal can be pro-
cessed with the FFT Filter, the Eqs and the Stereo Enhancer.
You may also use the many DirectX Plug-Ins available.

Record Parameter
This menu option opens the Record window. All necessary
settings for the recording can be performed here.
Record mode: Select between Stereo and Mono, whether
you want to record the audio into a RAM Wave project or to
the hard disk as a HD Wave project.
Preload: The Preload option allows you to load all the
buffers before the recording actually begins. This enables
you to an immediate recording once you click the recording
button. Otherwise MAGIX audio studio will load the buffers
and depending on the size of the buffers and the overall
computer speed this may take a little bit of time.
Sample Rate: Select the sample rate of the audio file. Make
sure that your sound card supports the chosen sample rate.
