Device: Here you can adjust the sound cards driver, which is in
charge of playback, provided that the sound card allows this. This
becomes especially important if there are several sound cards in the
computer.
?: Here the supported audio formats of the sound card, as well as the
sound card driver's information can be displayed. Furthermore you
can switch between driver types (MME and WDM). Adjust this setting
only if you have problems with audio playback or recording.
Autoscroll: Here you can activate a feature that is especially useful
when working with long projects: the graphic turns over when the
Position Bar leaves the visible part. So you never lose the overview.
The scroll operation requires a certain calculation time (depending on
the processor, the graphic chart and the resolution), so that the
computer can become overloaded in critical cases, which produces
dropouts during playback. In this case, deactivate the auto-scroll
mode.
Smooth / turn over: You can choose between scrolling down a page
or page turning.
Playback Buffer: To allow a smooth playback of a complex project,
the MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 11 sets out a data buffer, into which
current data areas are loaded. Hence, the whole project with all of its
adjustments is calculated in a step by step procedure.
You can determine the size of the buffer in "buffer adjustments",
which will be used for the playback of the whole arrangement or for
the pre-listening of waves in the data manager.
A rule of thumb: in the case of long waiting and loading times, the
buffer should be reduced; in the case of drop-outs or erroneous real
time calculation of effects, the buffer should be extended.
Loop time: Here you can adjust the length of the endless loop, which
will be used to play the project with activated loop mode. The loop
mode itself is activated in the transport control (please see the
"control consoles (view page 35)."chapter).
