i) Waveform area
(1) Definitions
(a) Waveform
The waveform is a display of the audio signal as a wave, where:
- The signal’s amplitude is the distance from the central line:
o The closer to the central line, the weaker the sound.
o The further from the central line, the louder the sound.
- The waveform length is the time length.
- The colors shows the type of sound:
o Red = low frequencies.
o Orange = medium frequencies.
o Yellow = high frequencies.
For example, the waveform below shows:
- Small yellow waves = short high tones, such as the sound of a triangle.
- Larger red waves = lower frequencies, such as a bass guitar.
(b) Wave overview
The wave overview shows the entire length of the track as a waveform.
(c) Beat marks
The beat marks are triangles showing the beats: they are displayed separate from the waveform.
If the tracks are synchronized, the background of the beat area becomes blue.
(d) Beat grid
The beat grid is a grid of vertical white lines showing the beats over the waveform.
The beat grid shows the same information as the beat marks, but the beat grid shows it over the
waveform, while the beat marks are separate from the waveform.
(2) Use
The waveform area displays the following elements:
- The large waveform shows the sound in detail, with its cue points and beat grid.
- The waveform overview shows the full track, to display silences or rhythm changes.
- The beat marks area shows the beats of both tracks, one below the other: so if the beats of
both tracks are on the same column, then both tracks are synchronized, and the background
of the beat area becomes blue.
