X5

356
Hint: Use the mixer's peakmeter to set the volume level. This process produces only
approximate results, because the exact measurement requires a mean value and this
cannot be easily measured with MAGIX Video Pro X5.
The displayed value serves also as a reference value for "Dynamic Range Control".
Some areas are softer so that speech can be made louder, and louder areas will be
made softer to avoid overmodulations.
Background: Action-filled movies have larger volume differences between spoken
dialogs and loud scenes (during explosions, for example). Because of this dialogs are
softer than in quieter films which can be modulated higher.
Surround mix level / Center mix level: These settings lead to an additional damping
of the surround channels and the central channel. Usually both settings are set to -3
dB.
LFE channel: Switch off the LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect), e.g. if you want to
eliminate undesirable rumbling sounds in the low frequency range. Normally, you
should leave this option activated.
LFE filter: The LFE filter is a low pass filter, which lets through only the lowest
frequencies. If you are dubbing a project in Samplitude/Sequoia, and have applied the
LFE filter, you can switch off this function here, since this filtering has already been
accomplished.
