Volume controller/auto button
This controller sets the playback level of the track. Before exporting, the project should be set as loud as
possible in order to receive an optimally calibrated recording level. The "Auto" button
below the volume control is for automatically optimizing the volume (normalizing).
In order to set the volume of the project as high as possible, place the position line just before the loudest
part of the project and start playback (the loudest position can be found by locating the highest peak of
the wave
shape display).
After you have played the loudest part, click on the "Auto" button below the master volume control.
MAGIX Music Editor 3 automatically adjusts the volume so that the loudest part of the range
that was just played is exactly 0 dB, i.e. the maximum volume.
Note:
The volume controller adjusts the volume of the project, i.e. the volume that is finally used for exporting.
If you want to set the level lower here (e.g. because you are talking to someone), the project will also be
exported quieter. It is better to adjust the monitor volume with the sound card mixer or directly on your
stereo system (e.g. monitor speakers) and to leave the volume control at the position recommended by
the "Auto" button.
To adjust the monitor volume in the sound card mixer, you can click on the loudspeaker symbol in the
tray (at the right bottom corner of the screen). However, you can also adjust it directly in the "Playback
parameters" dialog
.
LED Display
The LED display is a peakmeter and shows you the maximum peaks during the playback of the audio
material on the track. In the stereo tracks, the left LED-chain will indicate the level of the left channel and
the right LED-chain the level of the right channel. Both chains will show the same values while working
with mono tracks.
Bypass FX
Switch all effects on or off with this button to directly compare the original with the processed audio
.
Limiter
The limiter can be switched on to reduce clipping. This
device works sound-neutrally and provides a final guard
against extreme levels.
