Setup 1-3: Here you can switch between three different filter setups so that an
acoustic comparison between the various settings can be performed, for example,
during the preview function (Play/Stop button).
MAGIX Mastering Suite
MAGIX Mastering Suite is a special effect rack for use with the mixer master channel.
Its effects serve the so-called "Mastering" with which the finished mixed music file is
given its last one-over.
The On/Off switches can switch the effects on and off individually. Each effect has a
range of presets that can all be picked from a list along the lower border of the effect.
The settings of all effects can also be saved
together as one preset so that you can use
your ideal mastering setting again for other
arrangements.
Each effect can be reset by pressing the
"Reset" button. You can press the "Bypass"
button to temporarily deactivate the
effects.
6 Band Equalizer
The parametric equalizer has six filter bands that you can use to shape the sound of
the music track. Each band is a filter with a typical "bell shape". Within a certain
frequency range around an adjustable middle frequency you can increase or reduce
the signal level gain. The width of this frequency range is called bandwidth. The
bandwidth is defined by the Q value. The higher the Q value, the narrower and
steeper the filter curve.
You can influence the basic sound of the mix by increasing and decreasing the
broadband so as to give it more "depth" (lower center 200-600 Hz) or more "air"
(Highs 10Khz). You can also decrease the narrowband width (high Q-value) in the
frequency response to remove disruptive frequencies.
