MAGIX Mu
sic Maker MX Production Suite provides lots of different audio
effects. A quick overview:
 You can correct tempo and pitch in real time using Resampling,
Timestretching or Pitchshifting.
 The Audio Effect Rack supplies Reverb, Echo, Equalizer, Compressor,
Time Processor, Distortion and Filter – classic effects which can be used to
produce almost any sound. The reverb effect, for example, provides
professional and realistic reverb algorithms to add depth and spaciousness to
your material.
 The Gater enables rhythmic splitting of surface sounds
 Vandal SE is a guitar amplifier from MAGIX. You can adjust all the typical
settings on its realistic user interface.
 essentialFX: important bread-and-butter effects that are embedded like VST
plug-ins.
 The Vintage Effects Suite covers "good old" guitar effects that were activated
using a foot pedal in Jimi Hendrix's era: more warmth and fullness with
Chorus, jet-like special effects with the Flanger or ping-pong effects with
Delay. The Filter enables tempo-synchronous frequency filtering.
 VariVerb Pro is a high-quality reverb plug-in that runs on an algorithmic basis.
It provides a whole series of rooms, halls, reverb plates, spring reverbs and
so-called non-linear effects, which can be edited intuitively and easily, giving
your songs unique spatial qualities and depths.
 Elastic Audio for total control over vocals. Voice samples or melodies you sing
yourself can be "tuned" to match automatically. With the "Harmonizer" in the
Elastic Audio Editor, you can add a suitable second vocal or a whole choir to a
specified melody.
 Vocoder: Produces distorted vocals from synthesized sounds.
 Mastering Suite: A special effect rack for "Mastering". In this process, the
mixed-down music track is "polished" using parametric equalizer, multimax,
limiter and stereo enhancers. All this can be found in the mixer (M key).
 Am-Track SE: This analog vintage compressor produces an especially warm,
pumping sound. Launch it via the effects menu for selected audio objects or
via the plug-in slot in the mixer.
In general, there are three ways of implementing filters:
 Object effects:
Effects for selected objects These effects can be found in
"Effects > Audio > Audio effects" or in the context menu (right mouse click).
 Track effects: Effects for complete tracks. These effects can be found in the
track box or in the mixer channels.
 Master effects: Effects for the overall sound. These effects can be found in
the mastering area of the mixer ( or in the "Effects" menu).
