Understanding the envelope graph
To use the envelope graph, you must first understand what it represents. In the previous example, the horizontal axis represents time,
with the leftmost point representing the start of the selection and the rightmost point representing the end of the selection. The vertical
axis represents either amplitude or frequency, depending upon the operation.
