Arranging with Live Performer
With the Live Performer and the Live Pads you can create and remix your
arrangement in MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite.
1. Open the Live Performer and open the Live Pads
2. Fill the Live Pads with samples and takes, which you would like to use in the
arrangement. You can, of course, load more samples during arranging.
3. Define a range with the length of a song part (for example, 4 bars) in the
arrangement and define a Live Performer range with one of the range keys.
The range will be played back (empty at first).
4. Then, play the Live Pads, until you are sure what should musically "happen"
in this song part. Then start the Live Pad recording and record the Live
Pads for this range.
5. Click into the arrangement, and using the arrow keys you can now move
the current range by the length of a whole range, and double it or cut it in
half with Shift and arrow keys. In this way you can define additional ranges
as song parts for the Live Performer and fill them with objects via the Live
Pads.
6. Now you can switch your song parts with the Live Performer keys.
7. After you have you've figured out all your song parts, switch the Live
Performer into the sequence mode and program your song. Or start
recording of the Live Performer and play your song.
8. Finally, you can change the Live Performer sequence into a proper
arrangement using the "Transform into arrangement" button.
Record audio output
You can record the complete audio output of MAGIX Music Maker MX
Production Suite directly into a WAV file. The option "Write real-time audio in
WAV file" can be found for this in he "Playback parameter" dialog (Menu "File >
Settings> Playback parameters" or button "p").
If this option is activated, with the next start the complete playback of the
arrangement will be recorded live. With the next stop you can save your
recording and load it for immediate editing in the arrangement. Use different
names to save your single sessions, ensuring that no recording will be
mistakenly erased.
