Takes
Every object can be saves as a "take". Takes save all editing done on an object
like object length, fade settings, and all object effects. MIDI takes save the
instrument controlled by them (MIDI output or VST instrument).
Takes are saved as "TAK" (*.tak) files and take up virtually no space on the
hard disk. So you can cut a sample, add various effects to it, and save it as
various takes in order to use these together with all their editing in other MAGIX
Music Maker MX Production Suite arrangements.
The original sample will not be changed, only object and effect settings will be
saved.
You can also save Synth objects (view page 152) as takes to create your own
preset
libraries for the synthesizer.
MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite supplies many takes on content
CDs.
Takes can be identified by their symbol in the Media Pool.
Warning! On loading the takes, the audio or video file, for which the take was
added, must be in the original folder.
Object properties
This function displays all the information about the currently selected objects,
such as file name, position on the hard disk, tempo, etc. The object editor also
defines the foreground and background color of every object in the
arrangement.
In the "Tempo/Pitch" tab, information on the patched/determined tempo and
pitch of the audio object is shown. Furthermore, there is an overview of how
the various timestretching/pitchshifting operations affect the entire audio
object. The tempo/pitch adjustment when loading the sample, the effect of the
master tempo fader, and the time processor as object effect tracks are offset
against one another, but they may not mesh properly. For this reason, there
are two buttons which can be used to double/halve the object speed. Try
using these buttons if the tempo of some loops is incorrectly interpreted as
twice or half the speed.
