Introduction
What is MAGIX Music Studio 12 deluxe?
MAGIX Music Studio 12 deluxe is a multitrack recording and editing
application for all types of audio material featuring unlimited editing
options. It's easy to use and follows three simple steps:
1. Download and record
You can download CD tracks, MP3 songs, WAV files, video
soundtracks or sounds & samples – from the hard disk, the CD ROM
drive, or downloaded from the internet. You can even make your own
recordings from a stereo system or with a microphone. Everything
that you download or record is displayed as an object on the
Arranger tracks.
2. Arrange and Edit
Basically all tracks stacked virtually above each other will be played
simultaneously, and everything that follows horizontally will be played
in subsequent order. However, you can mute the objects stacked
above each other.
Every object – that is, every sound, every song – can be cut up or
have effects added. For example, if you want to shorten a song,
move the object with your mouse to the length at which you would
like the song to be – done!. Want to freshen up your sound? Then
open the equalizer and either select a preset that fits, or modify your
sound ”by hand”.
Arranging and editing is fundamentally all about cutting, blending,
adding and mixing effects, and placing audio material into the right
positions and onto the right tracks. But it’s also about play and
experimentation. If it fits, throw it in! Without experimentation there is
no innovation. MAGIX Music Studio 12 deluxe allows you to
experiment, and experiment wildly. There’s no risk of your audio
material being damaged. All editing functions are ”non-destructive”.
3. Export and use
Regardless what you're experimenting with, in the end something
usable should come out of it. MAGIX Music Studio 12 deluxe has
everything you need to do just that:
