Position Audio Objects
Each object can be moved in any way in the Arranger with the mouse,
horizontally on a track as well as vertically between tracks.
Add new instruments to your first song in the Arranger. For example, take a
drum sample and drag it underneath the object in a lower track which was
added beforehand.
This way, any number of files can be dragged from any folder into the Arranger
and placed on top of one another, on multiple tracks, or behind one another.
Play the arrangement in the meantime. Take note of the two markers at the top
of the bar ruler – they represent the start and end points of the range to be
played. If you wish to change the playback range, the start and end markers
can be dragged (while holding down the mouse button) to any position on the
bar ruler.
Tip: You can also move the playback marker independently of the left start
marker by clicking on the lower section of the bar ruler.
You do not need to interrupt playback to load new samples into the Arranger.
MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite has a "Smart Preview" function: You
can simultaneously preview new samples in the Media Pool – they always run
synchronous to the song in the Arranger. This function considerably simplifies
the search for suitable samples for a song you wish to create.
Add Synthesizers
Synthesizers are small additional programs, which can synthesize certain
sounds automatically. MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite distinguishes
between Object synthesizers and Track synthesizers. Object synthesizers
create own objects in a track and can be moved and arranged just like any
object. Track synthesizers may also be trimmed or combined with loops or
object synthesizers . But it is impossible to drag MIDI objects or other track
synthesizers into the same track. For this reason, there is a maximum of one
track synthesizer per track.
