The track effects can also be applied without having to open the mixer.
The arranger's trackbox (view page 40) also features the track FX
menu. In
it, you will find presets for track effects (view page 173)
sorted accor
ding to the instrument type.
Track effects always apply to all audio objects of a track. In comparison to
applying an effect to each object individually, this saves storage space. The
effect itself works the same way as object effects.
For more information on using and controlling the individual effects, please
read the chapter Audio effects (view page 170).
VST and DirectX audio plugins
MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite supports VST and DirectX audio
plug-ins. Most of these are effects modules such as reverbs, equalizers and so
on, but there are also many software synthesizer modules as well as other
types of controller modules. Thanks to their standardized formats, these plug-
ins can also be used in the mixer section of MAGIX Music Maker MX
Production Suite.
Before DirectX plug-ins can be used, the DirectX system needs to be installed
on your computer. Manual installation is rarely required as most Windows
installations include DirectX. If, however, your computer does not have DirectX
or just an older version, you can use the up-to-date DirectX installer provided
on the MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite installation CD.
Naturally, the DirectX plug-ins themselves also need to be installed before they
can be used! Installation procedures may vary from plug-in to plug-in.
Two so-called slots for track effects are located in the channel
strip of the mixer for the corresponding track as well as in the FX
tracks.
Clicking on the small triangle will let you select an effect from the list. Select
"No effect" to remove a plugin from the slot. A left-click temporarily disables
the plug-in. Active plug-ins are displayed in light blue. Right-clicking on the slot
opens the settings dialog of the plug-in.
