Preparing files for CD burning

File Format

Special software like MAGIX audio studio is required for

the burning of CDs. This software accepts single songs in

the form of single stereo files. The sequence and number-

ing of the titles will be organized by the CD software. The

CD burner software requires the file format WAV. WAV

files with the following characteristics:

– stereo,

– 16 bit

– 44.1 kHz sampling rate

These type of files can be created with MAGIX midi studio

generation 6. This chapter describes the procedure used

to create these files.

Mixdown by Track Bouncing

Recording MIDI Instruments as Intermediate Audio

Mixdowns: MAGIX midi studio generation 6 allows you

to digitally merge various audio tracks without playing

back the song (digital mixdown). But only MAGIX midi

studio generation 6 deLuxe allows you to record the final

mixdown in real-time, for using internal plug-in effects

and external real-time effects processors (like reverb and

multi-effect devices) during the final mixdown and man-

ual intervention. This technique is called Track Bouncing

and is described in the following. To accomplish this, you

might first record the signals of all MIDI instruments to

be played back by MAGIX midi studio generation 6 de-

Luxe in their entirety on to a single stereo audio track and

then mute all MIDI tracks.

Only mix the signals that you will actually need on the re-

cording input of MAGIX midi studio generation 6 de-

Luxe. Do not turn them louder than necessary, to avoid

unwanted noise.

For automatic mixing, see chapter “Mixdown with

MAGIX midi studio generation 6“.

Track Bouncing: It is not necessary to re-record the total

of all audio tracks through the analog inputs, or to use an-

other master device. MAGIX midi studio generation 6 de-

Luxe provides a Track Bounce function, which allows you

to master the mixdown in real-time on the hard disk—us-

ing a file format that the CD burner will recognize. Open

the Audio Mixer or the Track Mixer (open the Track Mixer

in the Arrange window by selecting: Window > Open
