VST instrument preset selection
If an instrument has presets, they will appear 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 can 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,
so you have an overview of the program all the time.
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 which were set as the
sidechain signals, the track name of the fed track will appear in the AUX section above the
Send Level. Internally, a sidechain bus (AUX bus) is created.
Right clicking on the AUX send button selects this as "Sidechain send".
The "Sidechain Solo" function bypasses the corresponding effect and only the input of the
sidechain is played. When closing the plug-ins dialog, the "Sidechain 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 460)".
Freeze plug-ins
Software instruments and effects plug-ins require considerable computing power during
playback. Therefore, please use the "Freeze" function to temporarily release the CPU
power for tracks which contain plug-ins. You retain full control over the track's MIDI
objects, and these can be restored (“unfrozen”) at any time.
To freeze a track, select "Track -> Track freeze" (shortcut: "Alt + Shift + F"). All MIDI objects
and associated audio objects from the audio return tracks will be replaced by a 32-bit
stereo audio object. Any existing automation data and track effects are already included in
this freeze object.
