Editing Audio
The Track view lets you edit and arrange audio clips. You can perform basic tasks such as cut, copy,
paste, and move; apply simple audio processing such as gain change, fades, and equalization; and
use sophisticated audio effects such as stereo chorus and reverb. The Track view lets you see your
audio clips on a timeline, arranged by track, to help you visualize the organization of your project’s
audio data.
Most audio processing commands and audio effects can be used from the Event List view as well,
by selecting one or more audio clips, then choosing the desired command from the Process >
Audio or Process > Audio Effects menu. Plug-in effects can also be applied to audio data non-
destructively, in real time, in both the Console and Track views. For more information, see the online
help topic “Mixing.”

Digital Audio Fundamentals
Digital audio is a numeric representation of sound; it is sound stored as numbers. In order to
understand what the numbers mean, you need to start with the basic principles of acoustics, the
science of sound.
