The Graphical Interface
The top portion of the main window contains the Main Menu and Toolbars which are organized into groups based up their functional purpose.
The filter and effects toolbars are only enabled when a file is loaded and an array of samples have been selected. When disabled, buttons and text are gray as in the illustration below.
Your workspace is the editor interface where a graphical representation of the open audio wave form is displayed.
 |
The
highlighted area in the illustration is a block of
selected samples which represent a portion
of sound.
With a few exceptions, all the editing is applied to the selected area.
You can, of course, select all the samples in the audio file, or you can select only the samples in one of the tracks. |
 |
|
See Mouse Operations for details.
As shown in the above illustrations, the scales are set to display decibels along the right, vertical scale and samples along the bottom horizontal scale.
 |
The vertical scale can also be set to display norms or decibels
while the horizontal can be changed to milliseconds. You may also change the color properties of the display to meet your taste or needs from the setup module.
|
The file and selection indices are constantly updated in the status
bar at the bottom of the page.
| Any or all of the control panels to the right of the waveform workspace with the minimize buttons. |
 |
Use the scroll bar to move the controls up or down. |
Use the Alt key plus the first letter of a menu to drop down a list of menu items from the main menu.

menu item from an open menu list, press the underscored

Some menu items have additional shortcuts that don't require dropping down the menu list. These are typically standard Windows key combinations such as Ctrl+C for copy and Ctrl+A for select all. See the list below. |
