MAGIX Mastering Suite
MAGIX Mastering Suite is a special effect rack for use with the mixer master
channel. Its effects serve the so-called "Mastering" with which the finished
mixed music file is given its last one-over.
The On/Off switches can switch the effects on and off individually. Each effect
has a range of presets that can all be picked from a list along the lower border
of the effect.
The settings of all effects can also be saved
together as one preset so that you can use
your ideal mastering setting again for other
arrangements.
Each effect can be reset by pressing the
"Reset" button. You can press the "Bypass"
button to temporarily deactivate the effects.
Parametric Equalizer
The parametric equalizer consists of four filter bands for adjusting the overall
sound of the music track. Each band is a filter with a typical "bell shape".
Within a certain frequency range and around an adjustable middle frequency,
you can increase or reduce the signal level gain. The width of this frequency
range is called bandwidth. The bandwidth is defined by the Q value. The higher
the Q value, the narrower and steeper the filter curve.
You can influence the basic sound of the mix by increasing and decreasing the
broadband to give it more "depth" (lower center = 200-600 Hz) or more "air"
(highs = 10Khz). You can also decrease the narrow bandwidth (high Q value) in
the frequency response, e.g. to remove disruptive frequencies.
