peak of the wave form, the higher the volume will be. Press the space bar on your
keyboard to play back the wave project.
In wave projects you can directly edit your audio material. Direct editing of the
material is particularly useful: Mark a range in the wave project with the mouse and
then press "Del". After editing the audio material you can close the wave project. You
now have to decide whether you want to accept the changes or discard them. If you
want to accept the changes, then click on "Save project". The original audio file will
now be overwritten.
Arranging MAGIX Soundpool loops
Up until now, you have only been working with your own material. Next, we would
like to show you how to build your own songs using the included Soundpool loops.
MAGIX Soundpools offer professionally produced, short audio files - so-called
"samples". They have been produced to be perfectly combined with each other and
looped. "Looping" means creating an entire instrument track from a single audio
sample. This entails replaying the sample sequentially to provide the impression of a
repeating musical leitmotif. This process is used today in almost every area of modern
pop music.
• It's best to create a new, empty arrangement first. Click on "File" and select the
option "New virtual project (VIP)".
• Select the "Soundpool" tab in the docker (or "View" > "Manager" > "Soundpool
Manager"), to view the included soundpool samples.
• The "styles" are displayed on the left side of the Soundpool manager. If you have
inserted, for example, a MAGIX Soundpool DVD, you can select a style here.
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 shows "Rock" because this style is included.
• Next, you can select the instruments that you would like to use. At the start, we
recommend choosing a drum sample to create the initial percussive structure.
Open the "Drums" directory in the "Instruments" section.
• To preview, click once on a file in the file list. To load it, drag the desired file to
the track.
