1 This is the overview; the entire audio file is depicted

here.

2 This is the parameter box for the current selection,

and shows the start point and length of the selected ar-

ea.

3 When the Catch (“walking man” symbol) button is ac-

tivated it insures that the playback position is always

visible in the window. The other controls operate as in

the Audio window.

4 Amplitude Scale (readings as percentage).

5 The dotted frame shows the extent of the section visi-

ble in the display area.

6 Detailed waveform display.

7 The horizontal time ruler displays the name of the ed-

ited region at the top left. Beneath that is the time po-

sition in the audio file, in various formats.

8 The Start point, Anchor and End point of the currently

selected region can be changed by simply grabbing,

and dragging them.

Overview

Between the Sample Edit window’s title strip and bar ruler

is the so-called “Overview”. This display always shows the

full length of the currently selected audio file, regardless

of the zoom resolution set by the telescope symbols.

Please note that no idea of scale is given in the overview; a

kick drum sample lasting 0.3 seconds could take up the

same space here as a choral passage lasting 15 minutes.
