Program Preferences > VIP Mouse Mode
This submenu makes the following selections available.
(These are also accessible via the Mouse Modes Toolbar.):
Universal Mode: This is the default mode in MAGIX audio
studio. All necessary functions can be executed with the
left mouse button. The right mouse button accesses a con-
text sensitive pop-up menu.
The vertical position within each VIP track determines
between Object handling or marker and range manipulation.
The upper half of a track lets you select ranges and set the
position of the play cursor. The lower half of the track makes
object selection and manipulation possible. Object handles,
and volume and panorama curve events take precedence and
can be modified at any position within the track.
Range Mode (Secure Mode): This mode lets you only
modify the ranges and the play cursor position. Using two
special keys, additional functionality is available:
If the period key is pressed, MAGIX audio studio changes
temporarily into the Object Mode. Once in the Object Mode
you can easily select and manipulate objects.
Pressing the Minus Key “-” key, MAGIX audio studio
temporarily changes into the Curve Mode. In the Curve
Mode, you can change the volume and panorama auto-
mation curves.
These special functions provide a way to quickly reach all
of the important functions, while protecting an object from
accidental moving. This is why this mode is also called
“Secure Mode”!
Cut Mode: You can use the mouse cursor like a pair of
scissors to crop objects.
Pitchshift-/Timestrech mode: The lower right tab allows
compression or stretching of an object. A time stretching
effect is created: The object is not played as a loop or shorter
version, but simply in a different play tempo.
Using the centre tab, the pitch can be altered using pitch
shifting.
Curve Mode: The Curve mode allows you to manipulate
existing volume and panorama automation curves.
Draw Volume Mode: The left mouse button draws volume
automation curves. Before using this mode, make sure the
“V” button for the desired track is active.
