AUDIO/MUSIC VISUAL EFFECTS

   

This page will include experimental videos produced using Magix Performer.

Software tools:
Steinberg Cubase LE A1 Elements 11
Magix Performer v2.3 64-bit
Vegas Pro 18 Video Editor

Magix Performer is the center or core of the process. It uses input audio and video files to generate a wide variety of programmable effects.  It can use any number of audio and video tracks to produce distinct effects.  Effects can be as simple as adding audio waveforms to a video to producing a composite of effects from multiple audio and video channels.

Steinberg Cubase was selected because it can process and output any number of audio channels in addition to its many other features.  Any audio file can be used by Magix Performer including live input.

Vegas Pro is a pretty powerful vidio editor which is used for processing camera video and the final video production.

These guys were outstanding.  It was a pleasure to record the music and to talk to some of them. T Lavitz is Kenny's brother who has since passed.

Tim Owen, a photographer in Veneta, took some of the pictures we used.
