Mixer 167
www.magix.com
Mix to file: The entire VIP including all settings is calculated into a file. More
information on this can be found in "Tools -> Track bouncing".
On: This function lets you mix the complete signal into a stereo WAV file during
each playback. This is especially useful if you wish to use the processed output
signal of the mixer, for example, when monitoring. Make sure that the "On"
button is deactivated if you don't wish to mix the master signal into a new file.
Otherwise, the system creates a WAV file every time the file is played.
Note: You don't need to use the "Mix to file" function to record dynamic mixer
movements during playback. It's usually better to control effects movements
via AUX busses, to record volume and panorama curves, and then use the
mixdown function.
Device / master out: Enter the playback device for the entire signal here; this
can also be set in the system/options dialog under "Audio devices".
Global settings
Some additional buttons for adjusting the global settings of the mixer window
and mixer handling can be found at the right side of the mixer window.
This includes (clockwise from bottom left):
Start track: If the VIP has many tracks, then only a section of the
corresponding mixer channels is generally displayed in the mixer window. The
visible section can be moved using the scroll bar at the bottom of the mixer.
Hold “Shift” down and click on one of the “Start track” buttons to save the
current view (a left click is sufficient the first time).
You can recall the previously saved section by clicking again on the “Start
track” button.
Preset: By clicking on the preset menu you can select various mixer setups.
In the "Options" menu reference, please read the section "Project properties ->
Mixer setup"
Setup: A click on the setup button opens the mixer setup dialog.
