Effects and effect plug-ins
Samplitude 11.5 Producer contains many high-quality effects and effects
plug-ins (MAGIX plug-ins) as well as interfaces for external VST plug-ins and
DirectX plug-ins.
What effects are there, and how are they used?
There is generally a difference between the effects types. The following effects
occur in Samplitude 11.5 Producer:
Real-time effects: These effects are also referred to as "non-destructive" or
"virtual" effects, and they are added to the original sound while it is played.
This means that the original file remains unchanged on the hard drive.
Offline effects: These effects are also called "destructive effects", and they are
added to the audio file before it is played; either the original file is changed, or
a copy is created on the hard drive for working with.
These effects are independent effects modules, i.e. they are provided by third
party vendors or programmers. In Samplitude 11.5 Producer we distinguish
between three types of effects plug-ins: "MAGIX plug-ins", "DirectX plug-ins",
and "VST plug-ins".
The area of application is a further criteria for effects. The following are
integrated into Samplitude 11.5 Producer:
Object effects (can be accessed via the object editor or the "Real-time
effects" menu)
wave effects (can be accessed via the "Offline effects" menu)
Track effects (can be accessed via the trackbox plug-in selection button or
the trackbox plug-in)
Mixer channel effects (can be accessed via the "Insert" section of the mixer):
These real-time effects affect track effects the same way as complete tracks.
AUX effects: (accessible via the track editor and trackbox): These effects can
be installed identically for several tracks, or individually.
Surround effects (accessible via the insert selection box of the corresponding
Surround bus channel, track editor, and trackbox): These effects serve for
editing surround material.
Master effects (can be accessed via the "Master" section of the mixer): These
effects are for editing the master sound.
