Effects plug-ins
If external plug-ins are installed on your computer,
then you can activate them via the button to the
bottom right. These buttons also open the effects
in the Vintage Effects Suite (view page 220).
For more information abou
t plug-ins, please read the chapter Using
VST/DirectX effects (view page 174)
Apply (destructive editing)
With
"Apply" the current setting of an effect or of an entire effect rack can be
"calculated into" the audio object.
This has the advantage that no more processing power will be required for the
effect. The object will be replaced by a new audio file which contains the
sound of the object with the effect. This will then only be played – processor-
heavy "realtime" effect calculation is no longer required.
The disadvantage: Changing the effect settings is not a simple any more. You
can undo these "destructive" changes straight after using the Undo function in
the Edit menu (like every editing operation in MAGIX Music Maker MX
Production Suite). After saving the project this is no longer possible.
In the master effects rack there are no Apply buttons. Instead, the function can
be found in the Edit menu (Audio Mixdown (view page 312))
Play object/Play arrangement
To the bottom right of the Audio FX Rack you will find two
playback buttons which either play the selected object or
the entire range. This lets you preview all effect settings in
realtime.
