Mixing
Mix Settings and Mix enable you to Join selected portions of
files together. A sound segment copied to the clipboard can be
mixed with the selected portion of an active file. Use the SB’s
mixing capability to create background noises for your files. You
patriotic music in the background of a presidential speech or add
subliminal messages to muzac.
Mix Settings
The Mix Settings option lets you choose how loud you want the
clipboard in relation to the currently selected sample.
To use the Mix Settings option, follow these steps:
1) Select Mix Settings to display the dialog box below.
Mix Settings dialog box
2) Use the Set Mix Ratio slide bar to determine the
amplitude ratio of the sample currently in the clipboard
to the sample currently selected in the active window.
If you want the clipboard sample to be as loud as the
window segment, you would split the Mix Ratio bar to
50/50. If you want the clipboard sample to be
background and the window sample to be foreground,
you would move the thumb on the slide bar or click the
left end box of the slide bar to increase the Sample
percentage and decrease the Clipboard percentage.
3) Click the Ok box to activate the settings or the Cancel box
to leave the settings as they were when you entered the
Mix Settings dialog.
* Note: The Mix Setting is saved in the Preferences file.
After selecting the Mix Settings, you’re ready to do the actual
mixing.
