11.1.5 Audio file comparer
This analysis tool allows you to compare two Audio Files for differences between them. It
can create a "delta file" that contains these differences. It can also drop markers at positions
where differences are found.
This can be useful for:
Judging the effect of using an equalizer by comparing the file before and after. The delta
file will show what was added or removed.
Check the noise added by a processor.
Compare two digitally recorded files to check for dropouts.
Note - Make sure that the two documents you want to compare are open.
You can access this dialog via Analysis > File comparator....
