Virtual Wave Editing
MAGIX music editor 2
includes a new virtual mode for Wave Editing. In simple terms, edits to Wave projects are compiled in
the virtual domain until being saved at the completion of the particular editing session.
The new mode will be instantly familiar to experienced users as it is very similar to working in a VIP. An
‘object’ is transparently created representing the Wave project, allowing cut edits to be instantly
implemented and retained as virtual Undo files. This saves considerable time and hard disk space, as
each cut edit no longer has to be written to the hard disk. Once you are happy with the cut edits, you
simply save the changes (at some point, you have to commit!)
Volume and Pan edits are also virtual in this mode by using the Draw Volume or Pan Mouse Mode
toolbar buttons .
Processing edits are implemented by using the Mixer when in this mode. A special ‘Mixer’ is available,
providing all real time virtual effects which are normally available in the Mixer.
Processing edits via the Effects menus (such as EQ, compression, time stretching etc.) may still require
creation of a temporary Wave file and are therefore ‘destructive edits’ (although there are undo's, of
course). For all effects available in real-time we recommend using of the Mixer rather than the Effects
menu items.
The original ‘Destructive Editing’ mode is still the default mode when selecting Wave Editing (previously
Destructive Editing) from the Object menu. This is due to restrictions which cannot be bypassed when
editing files currently open in a VIP.
To use Virtual Wave Editing, open Wave projects directly instead of opening into a VIP.
