X5

Audio editing 193
As long as the autobutton for a track is activated, all movements of the
volume and panorama sliders will be recorded.
The automation is displayed as a curve in the arranger and can be edited later with
the mouse.
Note: The mixer's automation curves relate to a track, which means that they are
independent of the objects contained on it.
5.1 Surround
MAGIX Video Pro X5 supports playback and export in genuine 5.1 Surround sound.
Requirements
You will require a sound card or a sound chip which is integrated into the computer's
motherboard with six individual outputs to playback the individual channels:
• front left (L) / right (R)
• centre (C) / subwoofer (LFE)
• back left (Ls) / right (Rs)
Surround playback is possible with all audio driver models (see Playback settings),
(Wave, DirectSound).
DirectSound is supported by most of the standard sound cards.
Wave drivers are similarly supported by many standard sound cards; however,
individual sound cards (for example, Soundblaster) require access to DirectSound.
Output of the six output signals is achieved in all driver models in the output channels
in the same (standardized) order:
Channels 1/2: L-R
Channels 3/4: C-LFE
Channels 5/6: Ls-Rs
When using WAV drivers, the loudspeaker settings normally have to be changed to
5.1 playback in the control panel. On most systems the program does this
automatically while using DirectSound.
