The whole color spectrum is used to display the volume of individuals
frequencies. Pink indicates loud sounds in a frequency range, green indicates
the areas with middle volume and red the very quiet sounds (in the default
color scheme). Black is used for quietness and white for maximum volume.
Different color palettes can be selected in the menu "Options -> Spectral
display". "Display values scale" in the same menu ("#" key) shows an object's
frequency scale.
Spectral cleaning is significantly more processor-heavy than the normal
waveform display, so redrawing after a section changes is always slightly
delayed. This delay is increased the further the zoom is extended, since
MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX needs to include more and more data for
calculation of the display. For this reason, spectral display is only available
from a certain zoom level.
Spectral display of the audio enables specific disturbances in the audio to be
detected. Clicking can be recognized by vertical lines across the entire
frequency spectrum; continuous disturbing sounds can be detected by
horizontal lines.
More detailed explanations can be referenced in the section "Spectral cleaning
(view page 81)".
This display a
lso makes it easier to find sections in a song quickly, since
instrumental changes can be clearly seen in the spectrum. On the other hand,
the waveform display will not indicate changes if the volume level does not
fluctuate.
Mouse mode
"Mouse modes" are your tools when working in the track window of
MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX. Depending on which mode you
choose, the mouse pointer will look differently and have a different
function in the track window.
The following modes are available: scissors (for cutting), magnifying
glass (for zooming), eraser (for deleting), arrow pointer (for standard
operations), a clock (for changing playback speed) and two pens (for
drawing a volume curve or a waveform).
