Mastering
The mastering functions are activated via the Mastering section – either as
mastering effects on the main screen or as object-related effects on a
separate Object FX page (not available in the MAGIX Music Editor).
All of the mastering effects function in real time. This means that you can
switch them on and off during playback and change their parameters so that
the result of the adjustment can be heard immediately.
Choose preset
A mouse click on "Select presets" opens the "Master effects" menu. Here (or
via the "Editing" menu) you can save and load your favorite effect settings as
"Mastering effects settings" for your projects or objects.
With the "Open mastering FX rack" command you can display the settings
dialog for all of the mastering effects as a large effects rack.
Different presets (for example, to restore a poor quality tape recording) are
supplied with the product and can be tried out right away.
Mastering FX presets can also be applied to the "Object FX" page for
individual objects, as well as for the entire sound via master FX (main screen).
Since the available object effects are different from the master effects, many
settings may be ignored. For example: The echo/reverb settings will be
ignored if the preset is loaded as a master effect (the master section does not
include an echo/reverb device).
Using the effect modules
Please read the section Using the effect modules (view page 69) in the
Cleaning effects (view page 69) chapter.
Step by step
The Mastering Assistant applies several mastering effects in a sensible
sequence. All effects will now be introduced by means of a suitable recording
example and then applied.
