time, you'll not only be welcomed, but can also initialize your music database
that will manage your music in MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX.

Once the program is started, small info symbols indicating the various buttons
will appear on the interface. You can also read through the program guide step

When you start the program for the second time, informative tips will appear.
Every time you start the program you will find out more ways to get the most

Create track info from file names.
Track info can be created from file names for tracks that don't have any real
information (ID3 tags). You can decide what parts of the file name will be
applied to the ID3 tag categories. This can all be done with a mouseover effect
on tracks that don't have complete information.
Media X-change (MX)
The "MX" in the title refers to the new media exchange function ("Media-Xchange). All programs in the MAGIX MX Series enable data exchange between
MX programs and are connected to cloud services and social networks. The
"Share" menu is the central hub for these exchanges. You can transfer music
files to other programs for editing, burn them to CD or DVD or post them
online.

more refined multiple selection.

Quick Start 19
Quick Start
This chapter explains the basic functions of MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX with a
step-by-step introduction. A systematic description of the program functions
can be found in the chapters and in the extensive PDF manual.
Tip: Take advantage of the introductory video and tutorials, which can be
opened with the help of the Task Assistant.
First start
When you start MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX for the first time, a welcome dialog will
appear.
We recommend watching the video to get a good introduction to the program.
Once you have watched it, click on "Get started!" The "Import local music"
dialog will now open.
www.magix.com
20 Quick Start
When you import music, MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX sets up a database so you
can control all of your songs regardless of where they are saved.
In "Select folder with music" you can choose the folder containing the songs
to be imported. This can also be a whole hard drive, which will obviously take
longer. Or you can import an iTunes database by selecting the option "Import
music from iTunes".
Click on "Continue" to start the import process. Depending on the number of
songs, it can take a while for the scanning process to come to an end. When
the process is complete, an info dialog will appear.
Click on "OK" to open MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX.
In „My music“ > „All tracks“ you can view all the imported songs.
The interface will display many info symbols from the program guide.
When you click on a symbol you will get a short explanation of the
function of the corresponding button. You can move through the
explanations by using the arrow keys in the dialog.
www.magix.com
Quick Start 21
Import music
For the following quick guide, close the program guide with the "X" button on
the bottom left.
Once you have set up a folder in the database the first time you start the
program, you can import music through the file menu any time.
Individual song files can be controlled via "File" > Open file".
If you go to "File" > "Import folder", you can import complete music files.
You can load audio CDs over "File" > "Import CD".
Portable players can be controlled through "File" > "Import file form MP3
player".
All tracks can be viewed in the media overview after program start.
www.magix.com
22 Quick Start
Play, navigate, arrange
Your song list is found in the large window at the center. All songs from your
music collection are shown here.
A selected song may be played back by pressing the play button below, by
double clicking on the song name or by pressing the space bar on the
computer keyboard.
The next song on the list will be automatically played at the end of a song.
You can switch to another song by double-clicking another title in the list.
Adjust the overall volume with the knob in the bottom right-hand corner.
In the "All titles" selection in the "My music"
section you have access to all songs in your
database. This selection is activated at
program start.
Tip: Alternatively you can also use the "+" on the number block (more volume)
or the "-" key (less volume).
You can change the grouping of the songs on the list in the following ways:
Click on "Artist", "Album" or "Genre" to sort the songs according to these
criteria. This works equally for all other column names.
www.magix.com
Quick Start 23
Sort according to similarity
The "Similarity" sorting criterion allows songs to be compared to a source track
in your music collection. You first have to analyze the tracks in your collection.
The easiest way to do this is through the menu "Edit > Similar tracks > Analyze
collection". All the tracks from your collection that do not have any similarity
information yet will be analyzed.
Alternatively, you can also analyze each song
individually by clicking on "Analyze" at the
beginning of a line before the song title.
First, select the song which is to serve as a starting point for the similarity
sorting. Place the mouse cursor for this song on "Similarity". A small "Select
song" window will appear.
When you click here, this source track will be placed at the top and will serve
as the starting point for similarity sorting. The songs that follow will be sorted
in such a way, that their similarity will decrease down the list.
The degree of similarity will be indicated in percentage: the more percent
appear, the more similarity exists between the track and the original title.
Tip: You can exclude single tracks from the analysis process via the menu
"Edit" > "Exclude track from the similarity analysis". This is useful for audio
book tracks.

Recommendations
MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX can analyze the structure of each song in the music
collection and present matching recommendations (via the menu "File" >

means that other tracks will be searched and found that have structural
similarities to the original title, which leads one to assume that the tracks are
musically related.

In addition to filtering according to similarity (view page 23) shown above, there
are two more
using the two switches above the recommendation areas: offline, from your
own music collection, and online, from mufin.com. mufin.com is an Internet
address, where you can search for similar music on the web. As with the offline
search in your own collection, similarity also lays the foundation for song
recommendations. However, this search engine is different from all other
Internet search engines, which use ID3 tags alone: it is more objective.

possibilities to get recommendations, which may be selected

stick) to your PC.
Note: Your device must show up as its own drive. If your device requires
special software, please install it.
Select your portable device under "Device > Portable devices".

Often, it is desirable to have files in a different format than the one they are
present in. This is how file conversion works:
Select songs that you would like to convert, or go to the folder or playlist if you
would like to export all songs in it.
In the "Edit" menu, select "Convert from" and click on "Convert selected..." or
"Convert all".

Web radio recording without timer
When you want things to go quickly and you want
to start recording the selected web radio station
immediately, you can use the transport console to
start recording. Clicking it again stops it. You can
then find the recording in "My Music > My
Recordings >Web radio recordings".
The following dialog will open for the record options:
In "Duration of recording" please choose whether you would like to stop the
recording manually or whether you would like it to be stopped automatically at
a specific time.
Save location: Specify the location where the recorded file should be saved on
the hard drive. (You can then find the recording in MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX in
"My Music > My Recordings >Web radio recordings".)

If yo
u select "Split track at ID tag", the ID tags are used as a separation point
and a new track is started after each broadcast ID tag. We only recommend
this setting if you are sure that the radio station positions its ID3 tags precisely.
If they are not precise, there may be parts of the track missing or the end of a
track may be at the start of another.
We recommend the feature "Set title marker at ID tag" This way markers are
only set at the locations where ID tags are broadcast by radio stations.
Markers are now set in the entire recording which may then be moved
manually if a track start or end accidentally has been cut. This allows you to
save individual songs.
Hint: You can close the "Webradio recording" dialog by clicking on "OK"
without stopping the recording.
Click here to create a timer-controlled recording. A
dialog will open for the timer settings.
Cut tracks
You can edit recordings (for example webradio recordings or songs) in the "Cut
track" dialog. Using ID3 tags you can, for example, let all song titles from the
recording be recognized and then individually saved.
You can open the "Cut tracks" dialog either by clicking on the "Edit" button, or
through the context menu (right click) of a song.
www.magix.com
In the
Overview, depending on how much you zoom in, you can look at the
entire recording with all objects in. By clicking on an object, the playback
marker in the Editor will jump exactly to this object. This way you can avoid
annoying zooming in and out and long searching from one object to another.
In the Editor you can actually take to work on the song – everything from
listening to editing the object, to saving it.
Adjust object borders using object handles
In web radio, it can happen that the ID3 tags do not correspond to the start or
end of the title, and object boundaries do not match song boundaries. Such an
object (it will appear orange in the view) can be activated/selected and
corrected.
Every object has handles. By using them you can
move the boundaries individually. For example, if a
song begins a few seconds after the object start,
just move the corresponding handles to the right.
More useful functions 81
If you change the object boundaries using the handles, only the object
boundaries of the selected object will be changed. The previous or next object
will keep its original object boundaries. This correction method produces small
objects (appearing in gray), which will be displayed as deleted.
Correcting object boundaries using the playback marker
If
the object boundaries are adjusted using the playback marker, not only the
boundaries of the selected object will change, but also the boundaries of the
objects surrounding it.
Move object boundaries by the same value
If you notice that all markers have to be moved by the exact same value,
simply click on "Apply to all the following titles" and all markers are then moved
by the corresponding value. All markers will be moved by this value. This will
save you some time.

After your object has been edited precisely, beginning and ending the way you
want it to, then you can save it as an MP3 anywhere on your hard drive by
clicking on "Save selected track".
Recognize all tracks automatically
Under the option "Advanced >>" you will find "Recognize all tracks
automatically". This function will recognize all titles in the recording using ID3
tags and marked as single tracks. You can then save these by pressing
"Export" in the context menu. This method of saving tracks lets you select the
format: MP3, OGG Vorbis, Wave, etc.
Buttons
Split objects: If you would like to split an object at a certain point,
you can do so by placing the playback marker at this point in the
track, and clicking this button.
Delete objects: If you would like to delete an object, click on this
button.
Merge objects: Using this function you can merge two objects
together: Select the object that should be last and click on this
button. The selected object will be merged with the previous object.
Move object boundaries: Using this function you can adjust object
borders with the help of the playback cursor. Start playback and
click on this button when you have reached the position where the
object boundary should be. This work mode produces no new
(interspersed) objects. The object boundaries for both neighboring
objects will be moved.
Determine track details using audioID: Using this button, the
Internet audioID database can be accessed to get track information
for the selected object. In the case of web radio recordings, track
information is available right away thanks to the ID3 tags broadcast
along with songs.
Change playback mode: Usually, the playback cursor moves along
the length of the track from left to right. Clicking this button will
result in the cursor remaining in place, while the track will slide from
right to left.

Sound effects
Audio FX
MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX's sound effects are found on a separate dialog. Effect
settings in the audio FX dialog are also written to the CD during burning or are
included during conversion.
Hint: If you don't want to include the audio effects in the music when
encoding, you can select the ignore audio effects option from the Encoder
settings dialog.
10 Band EQ (Equalizer)
The 10-band equalizer subdivides the frequency spectrum into ten areas
(‘bands’) and equips them with separate volume controls. This way it is
possible to create many impressive effects, from a simple boosting of the bass
on through to complete distortion. If low frequencies are boosted too much,
the overall sound level is heavily increased which may lead to distortion. In
such a case you should use the volume controller at the center to reduce the
total volume.
Slider: Each of the 10 frequency bands can be adjusted using the 10 volume
faders.
Presets: The EQ has a selection of defaulted presets which can be chosen
from a flip menu.
Master level
Here you can control the master volume after all effects have been included.
Limiter: Activating the “Limiter” function prevents overmodulation.
MAGIX Virtual Headphone Surround
This effect simulates the three-dimensional Surround effect on any set of
stereo headphones. Realistic sound diversity and cinematic effects put you
right at the center of it all, even if you don't own a 5.1 surround system.
You can move around the ball in the graphic in order to adjust the position of
the listener in the room.
With „Room size“ you can set three different room sizes.
“3D on/off” switches the surround effect on/off for comparisons.

Output Maximizer (Compressor)
The output maximizer is a compressor, i.e. an automatic, dynamic volume
controller: Volume of a loud section will be lowered and volume of muffled
sections will be raised. Processing is carried out using a “look-ahead” method,
similar to high-quality studio appliances. There are no peak over-modulations
or other artifacts, as the algorithm can never be ‘surprised’ by sudden level
peaks. The effectiveness of the compressor can be adjusted by using the
slider.
Presets: This preset setting automatically sets the entire material to an
identical volume level. The volume control knob is no longer required. You can
use this function to equalize greater volume differences within a song. The
Leveler presets adjust the volume within a music track. The Maximizer presets
increase the volume of the music track further.
Note: To balance volume differences between different songs, use the "Volume
adjustment " function in the effects menu.
Stereo FX
The Stereo FX Processor allows you to reposition the audio material in the
stereo tracks. If stereo recordings sound unfocused and undifferentiated, an
extension of the stereo base-width can often provide better transparency. This
can be achieved using the slider from the leftmost position (mono) to the
rightmost (enhancing) position. To restore the original stereo width, reset the
controller to the center position.
Brilliance enhancer
This high-end audio tool can, for example, reinstate losses that have happened
to high frequencies during MP3 compression or on old records. As opposed to
the Equalizer, which only raises the available frequencies, the Brilliance
Enhancer generates new overtones from the material available and really
refreshes the sound.
DirectX plug-in insert
With the help of this module you can use Microsoft's DirectX-compatible plugins for processing effects in MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX. This allows you to use, in
addition to the effects integrated in the program, almost any effect algorithm
from other producers.

The strength and sound characteristics of reverb/echo can easily be set by
adjusting the sensor field using the mouse. The presets provide a preconfigured selection of reverb/echo variations.
Automatic Volume Adjustment
This function raises or lowers the volume of all objects to the maximum
level. The total volume of the titles is normalized, i.e. "leveled".
Tip: Volume fluctuations within a song can only be removed with the leveler
setting of the output maximizer in "sound effects".
Files and their meta data
Additional information can be saved for each file, such as music and image
files. This extra information is called meta data. Referring to MP3 files they are
called ID3 tags. Here you can enter the name of the artist, the album, year of
publication, music genre, etc.
As MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX uses a database where all music files are listed
according to their ID3 tags (fig. 1) it is imporant that all ID3 tags are correct
and complete.
In addition to manual adjustment (view page 89), MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX
comes with
two automatic functions (view page 85) for changing ID3 tags -
audioid and freeDB.
www.magix.com
86 Files and their meta data
Adjust track information with audioid and freeDB
audioid and freeDB are two methods for completing the meta data of music
tracks (ID3 tags for MP3).
audioid is suitable for unknown single songs that have to be checked for
fingerprints one after the other and are compared to fingerprints stored in the
audioid database. If two fingerprints correspond, the missing meta data of the
song is completed.
freeDB is intended for complete albums. If you convert an audio CD using
MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX, the track information of the album is acquired from the
freeDB database. If the album cannot be found in the freeDB database you can
also add the data yourself to compete the database (view page 88).
Search track info (with audioid)
If the track information for one or more tracks is incomplete or totally missing,
then you can use MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX to search for it in the
audioid database.
Select a song and click "Search track info (with audioid)" in the "Edit" menu.

Change ID3 tags via the database
Hint: This function only is available in MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX.
It's also possible that many titles in the database feature incorrect ID3 Tags,
e.g. artist, album, year, etc. These properties may be adjusted by dragging and
dropping the tracks into the correct database entries.
Proceed as follows if you would like to change an entry, e.g. the artist name:
1. Go to "My Music" and then "All Tracks" via the navigation.
2. Activate the "filter" in the toolbar to the right.
3. In the filter section, in the central column "Artist" go to the desired name.
For example "Alanis Morissett" and "Alanis Morissette".
4. Now drag the incorrect entry "Alanis Morissett" via drag & drop to "Alanis
Morissette" (spelled correctly).
The incorrect entry in the list will disappear and the songs will be located
under the correct name.
Note: All changes relate solely to the "virtual database entries" and the ID3
tags of the files. The folders on the hard disk remain unchanged!
Create track info from file names
Not all songs have track info saved in the ID3 tags. The file name itself and/or
the folder where the track is saved can often provide the right information. With
the help of the "ID3 tags from file names" function, you can complete this info
for the ID3 tags so you don't have to search for them every time using the
"Search for track information online" function.
How to open this dialog:
You can access the dialog through the context menu of a track or the main
menu under "Edit > Clear track info > Create track info from file name...".
Or:
If you import tracks for which there is no track info, a small symbol will appear
beside the name column of the track. Click on this symbol and select "Create
track info from file name". The dialog will then be opened. All of the tracks
saved in the same folder will automatically be displayed and matched

s for using templates: You can use the template for creating file names in
more instances than in the "Multiple rename" dialog. When you are converting
audio CDs, i.e. transferring them to your PC, you can access and use these
templates from the conventional dialog so the files are saved instantly using the
same name.
Additional editing options
Enter only certain aspects of a variable: You can tell variable B (Album) to use
only the first 3 letters of the album name. To do this, you have to write the
number 3 in along with variable B, i.e. [B3]
Variable content upper/lower case: To have variables written either only in
upper or lower case, add the corresponding variable at the end written in either
upper or lower case. For example, use [TT] to have the complete title written in
uppercase.
Variable sep
arators hms and YMD: A hyphen behind the hms or YMD variable
will result in time entry being written separated by a dash. You can also enter
other characters instead of the hyphen (space, underscore, etc.). The order of
either variable can also be adjusted to change the time measurement.
Use abbreviations with [K]: If you would like to shorten an artist name or the
name of an album, etc. you can use [K] to do this automatically. Insert [K] at a
random position of the template. A dialog will open where you can enter the
desired abbreviation and enter the full name or title for the text "to be replaced"
so it can be found and replaced correctly. Please choose the desired

For advanced functions, you will find detailed explanations and instructions for
correct operation in this chapter.
Copy and convert music on the hard drive
Whether to preserve original CDs or to compile your own playlists with your
own favorite songs, there are many reasons for copying music CDs to your
computer (view page 24). You also can use this function to expor
a different format to an external storage device. You can also use different
encoders for converting the output material.
Various encoders
Note: The mp3, AAC and AAC Plus encoders have to be activated for a fee
before you can use them. If you already have Microsoft Media Player 10 (or
higher) installed on your drive, then you can use the MP3 encoder immediately.
mp3 [Frauenhofer] (*.mp3)
t the song in
The MP3 format is the most popular format for saving and transferring audio
files onto a PC and for online use. Compared to the original file an MP3 file only
requires approx. 10 percent of storage space.
Select the bitrate for converting to MP3. Most people won't hear any difference
to the original above 160 kBit/s. If the bitrate is lower the coding noise is no
longer suppressed sufficiently and may affect the sound quality. 192 kBit/s is a
good compromise between compression efficiency on the one hand and good
sound quality on the other. 256 kBit/s or higher is considered CD quality.
AAC (*.MP4;*.AAC)
DRM (digital rights management) can be embedded into the AAC format
(advanced audio coding) to control music distribution, and is therefore also
used by Apple. Its programs for playing, managing, and buying (iTunes) music
use AAC as the standard format.
If you would like to convert other titles for use with iTunes, then use this
encoder.
www.magix.com
100 Functions in detail
AAC PLUS encoder
The AAC PLUS format provides the normal AAC encoder including spectral
band replication (SBR). This doesn't simply delete high frequencies (like other
standard audio encoders), but actually saves their structure for reconstruction
during a song's playback. For lower bitrates especially, the AAC PLUS format
delivers a very good sound quality compared to MP3.
MS Audio options...
This area includes a music file format developed by Microsoft. It allows higher
compression rates and has a smaller file size than MP3, but has a slightly
poorer sound quality.
This conversion method opens Digital Rights Management (DRM) to you. It
allows you directly to permit or block playback, transfer to portable devices, or
copying of certain tracks.
Ogg Vorbis encoder
"OGG Vorbis" is a license-free open source audio codec with very good sound
characteristics for comparably small files. It is similar to the MP3 file format.
In these settings you can choose from three various encoder modes to adjust
bit rate and quality.
Constant bit rate enables streaming and maximum compatibility. Variable bit
rate achieves a better audio quality with the same size files.
Microsoft ACM (*.WAV)
This encoder addresses Windows' built-in audio compression manager.
1. Under "Codec", select the codec you require. "Format" will display the
available formats with this codec. "Description" provides more detailed
information about the selected codec.
2. Select the desired format.
3. Confirm your selection with "OK".
Wavefile (*.WAV)
The audio material is exported as a standard wave file: 44100 Hz, 16-bit,
stereo. This is the conventional format for further use on Windows PCs. These
files are not compressed and retain their full sound quality.
