19 – 374 The Audio Montage
The following views are available:
View Key Description
Edit E This is where you configure how many audio channels you wish to use in
the Montage (see “Multichannel operation in the Montage” on page
506), and where you select one of two basic operational modes; CD or
DVD-A (from the Mode menu). This is also where you find various op-
tions for zooming, editing, fading, selecting, etc.
Zoom Z Displays a very detailed view of the focused clip’s fade-in area, for fine
editing and phase matching of adjacent clips. See “The Zoom view” on
page 433.
Clips C This view contains a list of all clips in the Montage, allowing numerical
editing and adjustment. See “Editing in the Clips view” on page 436.
Groups O Use this view for grouping clips that you want to select as one entity. See
“Groups” on page 489.
Files L Contains various tools for audio file management, including direct import
of clips and audio files into the Montage. See “The Files view” on page
441.
Plug-ins R This allows you to overview and manage all plug-in effects (track and
clip) used in a Montage. See “Managing effects in the Plug-ins view” on
page 483.
Markers M This view allows you to add and manage markers in the Montage. This in-
cludes CD and DVD-A markers, for writing CDs directly from the Audio
Montage or preparing a DVD-Audio project, see “Using markers in the
Montage” on page 492.
Video V Displays the contents of the video track in the upper pane of the Audio
Montage. See “Using video tracks” on page 504.
CD/
DVD-A
D This is where you prepare for writing a CD directly from the Audio Mon-
tage (see “Preparing the Audio Montage for CD/DVD-Audio burning” on
page 531), or alternatively for making preparations for a DVD-Audio
project (see “Creating and opening a DVD-Audio project” on page 552).
Which tab is shown (CD or DVD-A) depends on the selected Montage
mode (Edit view : Mode menu).
History Y This is a list representation of the Undo history, allowing you to undo/
redo several operations in one go. See “Undo/Redo and History” on
page 496.
Snapshots P Allows you to capture magnification and view settings as snapshots, to
be able to quickly select different views. See “Using snapshots” on page
396.
Notes A standard notepad.
