click on "REC" in the track editor and set a check next to the corresponding context menu
item.
You may record VSTi audio output for VSTi return tracks by activating recording in these
tracks.
If "MIDI thru" is activated, this signal can also be routed to another VSTi/VST-FX or external
MIDI device.
VST instrument preset selection
If an instrument has presets, these are displayed in the "Program slot" ("Prg") with their
internal name (if "MIDI" mode is activated).
This dropdown menu can be used to easily "step through" the presets of your instrument.
These presets may also be selected using the instrument window's "Program" menu.
If your MIDI input device can send "Program change" commands, you can also directly
select programs of this instrument. The program slot is automatically updated in the track
to provide an overview of the program at all times.
Sidechain Input
At the track and master level of a correspondingly equipped VST/MAGIX plug-in (e. g. am-
munition), as well as in advanced dynamics, you can activate the sidechain and specify one
or more of the previous tracks as the sidechain input(s). In the tracks or mixer channels
sought out as side chain signals the track name of the fed track appears in the AUX
section just above the send level.Internally, a side chain bus (AUX bus) is created.
Right clicking on the AUX send button selects this as "Side chain send".
The "Side Chain Solo" function bypasses the corresponding effect and only the input of
the side chain is played. When closing the plug-in dialog, the "Side chain solo" function is
reset.
The command "Sidechain filter" opens a parametric equalizer that may be used to edit
the sidechain signal.
Detailed information on the sidechain function can be found in "Effects -> Dynamics ->
Advanced dynamics -> Dynamic parameters (view page 611)".
