The master track
Audio material display
All of a project's audio material is displayed in the master track of the track window as
a waveform. The waveform corresponds with the acoustic properties of the material.
This means that there isn't anything to listen to at places where there isn't anything
visually; higher waves mean high volumes. The tracks waveform display forms the
most important basis for locating specific passages.
The display is compressed, meaning that the waveform is displayed as a ratio of loud
passages to quiet passages. This ensures correct display for quieter sections at the
beginning or end of a song.
Position line
During playback a thin line will move horizontally from the left to the right over the
master track. This is the position line, which indicate, which part of the wave form is
currently reproduced.
The last starting point of the playback is indicated by a small triangle in the master
track. The position line will jump back to that position, once playback has finished.
Timeline
The timeline is located above the track. It shows the time position in the project. The
measurement units can be selected from the "Options" menu. You can choose from:
samples, milliseconds, hours/minutes/seconds, and CD frames.
