Mixdown with MAGIX midi studio generation 6
be required in order to merge the signals, to control the
level during recording, and also to accommodate the mi-
crophone amplifiers. This mixer, however, can be consid-
erably smaller than a mixer used in a comparable studio
with a multi-track tape recorder. Additionally, you can mix
together all audio signals with a uniform level, while
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 will control the volume
, pan, and any other effects that your MIDI device(s) may
have.
Audio Channel Strips
Stereo- and Mono Channel Strips
You can recognize the stereo channels by the two overlap-
ping circles on the button in the lower left corner of the
channel strip. Click on this Stereo Link button to change
the stereo channel to two mono channels with individual
controls for each channel. The master section sends the
mix to the stereo output
By clicking on the Stereo Link button, two adjacent objects
will be merged to one stereo object, creating a stereo chan-
nel. To the left of the fader, there is a level control display
showing the channel’s (the track’s) level after the fader.
Above the fader, there is a pan control (stereo: balance
control), and below the fader you will find a button (S) for
soloing (post fader listening) and muting (M) of the track.
The Record Ready button arms the track for recording
(REC) (Record Ready). One difference between audio re-
cordings and MIDI recordings is that for audio recordings
the tracks will have to be armed just as with a multi-track
tape recorder.
Each channel provides inserts for assigning effects di-
rectly to the track, and busses for sending to returns.
Effects: The number of real-time effects MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 can calculate simultaneously depends
on the computer’s CPU power, speed, and the amount of
RAM available.
Equalizer: On each audio channel EQ’s can be used.
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 uses fixed built-in EQs,
while MAGIX midi studio generation 6 deLuxe allows you
flexible insertion of EQs: click-hold on the Thru field la-
beled EQ and select the EQ you need out of the flipmenu.
The effects: Additional audio objects represent so-called
busses, which are typically used as effect sends. Each
channel-strip has a knob for controlling the amount of sig-
