Magix Music Maker 2017 Premium - Absolute Beginners Tutorial - Part 3 Video Lecture | Magix Music: A Comprehensive Tutorial for Beginners - Video & Sound Editing

hi everyone based on some of my previous
MAGIX videos some people have asked me
how I managed to produce a sound or a
pitch of an instrument that doesn't
exist in any of the sound pools or the
instruments of the samples in MAGIX but
the truth is they usually do it's just
that you need to know how to manipulate
each individual sound or instrument I'm
going to demonstrate this by using ATS
dancing on my own which is actually
sound pawns included by default with
magics and I'm going to use the best
section and I'm going to use the bottom
one from here just called the brass
these are the pitches as always I'm
going to use pitch six and it sounds
like this and that's it so I'm going to
put the number six on the screen doesn't
matter where you put it you put it up
any track and then I'm going to use a
number five but I'm not going to book it
up to the edge like so I'm going to go
to the next track down and put it one
and a half bars after the start of the
first track now when you do this you'll
get this warning message
should the pick of the selected object
they automatically adjusted when being
inserted what this is telling you is
that at the moment this is playing note
a or 56 and I'm trying to drop a pitch
five over the top of it but if you say
yes what it will do is change that to a
pick six and keep it the same as this
one but I want to keep it as a pitch
five so unless you say no and you can
absolutely tell you theater that's a
pitch five and that one's a picked six
code your suit at the end of the bar
there and then I'm going to drop at
number four approximately the same place
again above let's let's put aside there
for a start and again it's warning me
that this is not the same pitch as that
one or that one but I want to keep it as
a pitch fall so I say no I don't want to
change and what I want to do is keep
this start of this beat here
approximately at the end of where this
begins to fade on the previous track and
the same with this one start with this
one started the fade on the end of that
and then finally I'm going to put a
pitch six one back on the top track and
there's a reason for this right so if
you noticed this time it didn't tell me
that it's going to change it it's a
different load because that is a six and
that is a six so I didn't get that
warning now I wanted to do is just move
this out the way a moment anywhere just
out of the way what I'm after is I need
track one to keep playing to bar track
two starts and I need trap two to keep
play while track three starts so we end
up with the sound similar to this let's
play it
[Music]
stop that
100 in has put this object back in place
over here doesn't have to bear at the
moment but as you can see the start of
this note starts just as this last one
starts fading okay but I don't want this
first piece of note here I only want
from this point that second is if I can
play somewhere from there it's very
difficult actually on this sound without
the start of it I don't want that
initial note on the way to actually edit
that is if you highlight that object and
then click on the magnifier objects
button there it's a magnified just this
object that I've got highlighted and you
can see here's the first note and here
is the major note at the end and as with
all of the objects when you move your
pointer to the edge of the screen that
is not in the center you'll get a left
and right diagonal arrow that allows you
to trim pieces off it and the same with
the right-hand side you can actually
extend or fin the right-hand side the
center one will give you a vertical
double-arrow and that allows you to
adjust the volume or poor damage and see
it reduces the volume but I don't want
to play around with the volume so I'll
leave that approximately where it was
and on the center line at the left and
on the right you'll notice you get a
double diagonal arrow now strangely on
the right-hand side it shows you an
arrow going from bottom left to top
right and on the left hand side which
show you an arrow go from bottom right
top left which indicates that it's going
to phase out from the left or fade in
from the right I think that's a little
idiosyncrasy of
but we won't worry about that what we
want to do at the moment is to cut off
this finish you'll note and all I'm
going to do is click and drag the edge
of this object until it reaches the
start of that point there that has now
cut off that first piece you not change
the instrument you just cropped the very
start of it off and then I'm going to
exit mapped and I'm going to move this
across because now I've taken the
frontal boot off it's too far oh I still
want the start of this roughly where
these pointy liner can start line is
either so drag and drop that across
there that'll do for now
let's just play this from this point
here so that we get this last track and
then the final one let's just play that
[Music]
stop that and I say now if you notice
this has got quite a sharp attack on it
is quite another book shot it's quite in
a book start if we play this from here
you'll hear it so I want to soften the
start of this down a little bit I don't
want you to be so abrupt again highlight
that object again magnify the object and
this time we're going to use the same
button here but the causes of the whole
object this view is a little too large
or little one
this view is a little too small to get
any small control of this we can only
get rather big changes and that's the
next bar so we don't want that what you
need to do is to zoom into this even
further using reduce times section and
just keep clicking it but what about the
fact it's going off the screen again
click and drag this slider across to the
right until it appears back on the
screen and you have it move your mouse
pointer to the horizontal line to the
center of the horizontal line and you
get this double arrow diagram arrow
click and drag a small amount so you get
this slight fade it looks massive here
but we're zoomed in quite a lot if we
zoom out you'll see that it's actually
quite small in fact I need a smaller
even smaller than that so let's just
find it again I don't want that much
that's Harper bar I only want to time
this police at the first start like so
exit that and let's see what that sounds
like
let's spacebar
try the game now that is not as far as a
start but we can always make it softer
again zoom into it as you can see it's
so small you can hardly see it there so
again let's zoom in again a little bit
and let's just add a little bit more not
a lot and close that and play it again
stop that
that's a little bit better okay what I
might mention at this point is some
people say well yv used three tracks
when you could just put the same
instruments on the same track let me
just move this out the way and
demonstrate why I've not used that
method if you were to take this object
and put it even though it's the same
instrument just on a different page if
you click and push that up on to the
same track as the first one it produces
a crossfade like so
nearly all audio editing software
assumes you want to crossfade the two
objects and what happens now is when you
play that it sounds like this playing up
see and the second one starts off quiet
and gets louder and it's even worse if
you then decide to add the third one to
it at the same place as it is like so
and if we play that now it's even worse
as players stop that as you can tell the
crossfades are so confused now that they
overlap each other and although you can
actually edit the crossfade points by
taking if you were to zoom to this item
you can still resume to that object
magnify that object and you can actually
zoom anymore and you will eventually be
able to see where the crossfade points
are but it's incredibly difficult to
edit them in here very hard let's just
consume that so let's put these back
where they came from
I'm down button down there and we just
play that again make sure it stayed the
same
[Music]
okay now let's look this is a further
back where he came from
I think there's approximately there side
there but I don't want this as pitch six
I want this in a pitch that is not
available in any of these pitches here I
need it to be a different note so what
I'm going to do is select that object
down here if you click on the inspector
tab just above the keyboard you give you
a blank screen here but there are
effects you can apply to that object or
any amount of objects you've got
selected so this object you can apply
these effects to it you only click on
one of these it will show you the
settings for that object this is where
its pitches and vertically is the pitch
horizontally is the speed and they can
be adjusted using these dials here you
can change the speed as you see moves up
and down and also stretches on the
screen but we don't need to change the
speed I just want to challenge the pitch
you can change the pitch using this dial
click and turn or what I find easy is to
use the plus and minus buttons what I'm
going to do is take that down by seven
half-tones
nothing more and then I'm going to play
that from here and you'll notice this is
now a different note
[Music]
okay and that that effect is immediate
you don't have to save it on anything
you can display the keyboard again if
you want to click away from that now
let's play that from the start and see
what that sounds like
[Music]
now you may have noticed some clicking
when it plays this last object that's
not unusual but that won't that won't
manifest itself on the final piece of
music it generates when you create an
mp3 for it in fact if you continually
keep playing that from here eventually
it will level itself out let's play to a
couple of three times see them as it
clicks there and again which are now
gone and that's what it will sound that
when you render it or export it so let's
zoom to the entire project put the start
of Porter at the start and let's play
the whole thing
[Music]
