Spectral cleaning is significantly more processor-heavy than the normal waveform
display, so redrawing after a section changes is always slightly delayed. This delay is
increased the further the zoom is extended, since MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013
needs to include more and more data for calculation of the display. For this reason,
spectral display is only available from a certain zoom level.
Spectral display of the audio enables specific disturbances in the audio to be detected.
Clicking can be recognized by vertical lines across the entire frequency spectrum;
continuous disturbing sounds can be detected by horizontal lines.
More detailed explanations can be referenced in the section "Spectral cleaning".
This display also makes it easier to find sections in a song quickly, since instrumental
changes can be clearly seen in the spectrum. On the other hand, the waveform
display will not indicate changes if the volume level does not fluctuate.
Mouse mode
"Mouse modes" are your tools when working in the track window of MAGIX Audio
Cleaning Lab 2013. Depending on the mode, the function of mouse-clicks in the
project changes. The selected mouse mode is indicated by the appearance of the
mouse pointer in the track window.

Edit mouse mode
The Edit mouse mode is preset. You can take care of all important tasks with
this mode.
Select objects in the track window with a left-click. Selected objects can be moved. All
subsequent objects are also moved so that no unwanted gaps develop later in the
track.
In Edit mode you can use the 5 handles to fade or shorten all objects or to adjust the
master volume.
