Master effects
Master e
ffects influence the mixed sum of all audio tracks. For this purpose a
Master Audio Effects Rack and further plug-ins are installed in the Mixer
window. Also included: the special MAGIX Mastering Suite (view page 211) for
perfect sound.
Effects curves
Many effects
may be manipulated using the effect curves for a more dynamic
application of the effect. This means that certain effect settings can be
changed during playback. The effect curves are available as object curves and
track curves. Object curves are always object-related, i.e. they only apply to
one object and are moved or copied together with the object. The track curves
are saved on the track and influence all objects of the track.
To edit the effects curves you can use the "Control effects via curves (view
page 257)" dialog.
Using plug-in effects
For introductory information about plug-ins, please read the section
Synthesizer Plug-ins (view page 152) in the "Synthesizers" chapter!
At different positions in MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite, you can also
utilize effects from third-party developers in the VST or DirectX format. Several
of the included effects (EssentialFX, Vintage FX Suite, Vandal SE) are also
applied as plug-ins.
Track effects
Track effects
can be selected and specified in the Mixer. They refer to all
objects in the corresponding track.
Tip: An effect set in the Mixer uses up processing power at every playback
position in the arrangement. Consider whether or not it would be enough
simply to use an effect as an object effect.
Two slots for track effects are located in the channel strip of the
mixer for the corresponding track as well as in the FX tracks (view
page 266).
