Maximize strengthens the spatial component of the recording, which also
increases the stereo transparency without influencing the mono compatibility.
Stereo meter (correlation gauge): This provides a graphical display of the
phase relation of the audio signal. You can use it to review the orientation of
the signal in the stereo balance and the effect of the stereo enhancer. To
maintain mono-compatibility, the "cloud" shown should always be higher than
it is wide.
Limiter
The Limiter prevents clipping by automatically
lowering any volume levels that are too high.
Quiet parts remain unaffected. Unlike the
Compressor, this feature attempts to preserve
the basic sound as much as possible.
Digital Audio Meter
On the lower border of the MAGIX Mastering Suite there is a digital audio
meter which provides separate control method displays for 10 wave bands on
each channel. This device is used for orientation purposes, e.g. selective
equalizer editing.
Essential FX
MAGIX Essential FX is a collection of "bread and butter effects" for the most
important applications. They are embedded as VST plug-ins (MAGIX plug-ins
directory) and may be used in the object or in the track. For object application,
see "FX plug-ins (view page 188)" in the "Audio effects" chapter or "Track
effects (view
page 173)" in the "Mixer" chapter.
These are simple but solid tools with
clear feature sets for daily application.
They include fewer controllers and require less resources.
