DirectX Plug-Ins
This function allows you to use Microsoft DirectX compatible plug-ins with MAGIX music editor 2
. This complements the already existing superb effects with an unlimited number of 3rd-party effects.
The Mixer in MAGIX music editor 2
is also compatible with plug-ins, which can be used as real-time effects. However, the plug-ins have to be
able to process the audio data blocks immediately and completely, without changing the length of the
material. This is the case for most plug-ins (i.e. Wave Native Powerpack, Power Technology DSP FX,
Arboretum Hyperprism, TC Native Reverb and others). Other algorithms will fail, such as time stretching
plug-ins, since they are based on changing the length of the material.
The menu Effects
does not pose these limitations. All available plug-ins should work, even if they change the length of the
audio material or temporarily off-load the data blocks (i.e. Sonic Foundry Acoustic Modeler).
Working with the Plug-Ins
After opening the plug-in dialog, a list of installed DirectX Plug-Ins is visible. Double clicking on a
specific plug-in moves the plug-in to the left side of the dialog. The left side shows the active plug-ins. At
the same time the plug-in is moved into the active plug-in list, the dialog for the chosen plug-in is
displayed. The DirectX plug-in dialog allows you to make further settings for the effect. Additional
double clicks on entries in the right-side list add other plug-ins to the active plug-in list on the left side.
Dialog Elements
Play/Stop –
This button activates the real-time preview of the active plug-in listed on the left side of the display. This
function is ideal for testing of the chosen plug-in settings if the real-time calculation operates sufficiently.
Preview (only in Effects menu)– This function calculates a short segment of the audio material with the
active plug-in settings and plays back the audio segment. . Use this option if your system does not seem
to be able to sustain the real-time preview (button ‘Play/Stop’). The length of the off-line preview can be
determined with the setting System
(shortcut: y) – Test buffers.
Create Copy (only in Effects menu)– This decides whether MAGIX music editor 2
creates a copy of the original material. If the option is checked, the copy is appended to the end of the
audio file and the effect is processed over the copy instead of the original. This function allows the Undo
option to return the VIP object to the original state. It is therefore recommended to always use this
option!
Solo -
Only the selected Plug-In will be used.
Mute -
The selected Plug-In will be muted (bypass function). You can also bypass a plugin by unchecking the
preceding checkbox.
Remove –
the selected plugin will be removed from the effects chain.
Saving and Loading –
These two buttons in the upper left-hand section of the dialog allow you to save and load Plug-In
presets. A previously saved preset, which is saved in the standard fx-preset folder will be listed in the
selection box. A Plug-In Setup contains the information of utilized Plug-Ins, all the parameters, and the
order in which the Plug-Ins are set.
This allows you to easily transfer custom settings between several instances and projects in MAGIX
