Mixdown with MAGIX midi studio generation 6

Any time you save a song, all of the adjustments made on

the mixer will be saved also.

Mixing Automation with the Track mixer

The mixing automation of the Track mixer is easy to ex-

plain: Record, operate the Track mixer, finish.

The automation data of the Track mixer will be recorded

as MIDI sequences on the track for which you moved the

fader or knob. The same applies to audio tracks, which will

also be mixed down as MIDI commands.

The audio channel controls send MIDI controller com-

mands just like MIDI channels; the Volume Fader (vol-

ume slider control) sends Controller No. 7 (MIDI Vol-

ume). The meaning of the controller numbers is defined

in the MIDI Standard. The sound generator will respond

with a volume adjustment for the sound on the respective

MIDI channel. If you open the Event Editor for the se-

quence created due to your mixing movements during re-

cording, you can view the MIDI Controller data—and also

edit them just like any other MIDI data.

In the NUM column you will find Controller Number 7.

The Info column shows “Volume”. Controller 10 is Pan.

You can edit the mixing process by deleting command or

changing values (VAL).

The same data is visible in HyperDraw and can also be ed-

ited. The next sections describes Hyper Draw (bottom

graphic).

Graphical Mixdown with HyperDraw

Volume and Pan can be graphically input, edited, and

viewed using HyperDraw. Following is an example of a

mix displayed in the Arrange window with HyperDraw en-

abled:

Volume events (MIDI Volume, Controller 7) appear as yel-

low lines, pan events (Controller 10) as orange lines on a

blue background.

To enable HyperDraw in the Arrange window:
