Overview of Audio Tools

You can arrange these tools in a single, tabbed tool window to make it easy to switch to another
tool.
To access one of the audio effect tools:
t Select Tools > tool name.
To keep more than one tool open at the same time:
t Select Tools > tool name, and then drag the tool to a tabbed tool window.
To prevent confusion, your Avid editing application allows only one copy of an audio effect
tool to be open at a time. For example, you can open only one copy of the Audio EQ tool.
Using Audio Timecode
Your Avid editing application can read audio timecode (LTC, or longitudinal timecode, recorded
on an audio track). If you captured the LTC as an audio track, use the Read Audio Timecode
command. This command instructs your Avid editing application to access this track for
timecode information to be displayed in the bins and used in editing.
To use timecode on an audio track:
1. In the bin, select the appropriate clips.
2. Select Special > Read Audio Timecode.
The Read Audio Timecode dialog box opens.
3. Select User Bit Timecode to read timecode stored in the user bits of the LTC.
If you do not select this option, the system reads the LTC timecode.
c
Information contained in the user bits of the LTC must be timecode only. Other data stored
in the user bits does not appear in your Avid editing application.
4. Click the Audio Timecode Source menu, and select the audio track containing the timecode.
A1 is the default.
