Auto Gain
You must have some form of input to use this option. Auto
Gain will set the record level for you. This feature automatically
adjusts the level according to the highest input to help eliminate
clipping. Input the sound you’ll be recording, click Save to set
the level, then proceed with your recording. Move the thumb to
the right of the sound wave grid to manually set the maximum
level for clipping. In general, set the level dose to the second
row from the top of the grid. Experiment with the Clip Level
setting to see what the different levels will do.
Play Clipboard ( -X)
The Play Clipboard option lets you hear the sample currently in
the clipboard. The sample will play at the Playback Sample Rate
set for the currently active window.
Use the Play Clipboard command to hear the clipboard contents
before mixing. (Refer to the Mix command described earlier.)
Default Play Rate
This option will set the Playback Sample Rate back to what it was
when loaded. Raw Data format files will be set to 22085 Hz. All
other format files will be set to their original Playback Sample
Rate.
Set Play to Record Rate
This is the easy way to set your Playback Sample Rate to the same
setting as your Record Sample Rate.
Set Record To Play Rate
This is the easy way to set your Record Sample Rate to the same
setting as your Playback Sample Rate. Use this option to
match the playback speed of one file to the recording speed of the
next sample you record. For example, you may have a file that
was recorded at a very fast rate. To make your next recorded file
match the fast rate, select Set Record To Play Rate and then
record your new file. The new recording will be made at the
currently set Record Sample Rate so the new rate will match
the old rate. Now the two files can be edited together and won't
sound like Mr. Bill meets Lurch.
Display Dots
This option replaces the sound graph’s lines with dots. It has no
other affect on the file.
