Audio editing
For comprehensive audio track editing that goes beyond volume level adjustment,
audio must be placed on a separate track.
1. To place audio on a separate track, right-click on the desired object. The
context menu will open.
2. Select "Audio and waveform display" > "Audio on separate track" or use the
"Ctrl + H" shortcut. The object's audio track will then be placed on its own
track directly below and can be edited.
In principle, any track in MAGIX Video Pro X5 can be used as a sound track. There are
no specific track types. You can also place other audio objects, such as background
music, on other tracks. But it is easier not to mix object types within one track.
Load and edit audio files
• All importable audio files can be selected using the Media Pool.
• You can load the file into the source monitor by double-clicking it in the Media
Pool. You can preview the file with the help of the transport control of the source
monitor.
• You can drag the files with a held-down mouse key into the project clipboard
(drag & drop). Tracks from audio CDs may also be integrated via drag & drop.
• You can activate the waveform display with a right-click on the audio object,
recognizable by its volume progression inside the object.
• Edits, fine positioning, volume settings, and fading in and out may all be adjusted
directly in the arranger using the object handles.
• Various effect curves (view page 149) may be selected for audio tracks,
dy
namically controlling selectable effects, volume or stereo panorama.
