The Envelope Graph Display
The Envelope Graph Display is visible
whenever “SHOW ENVELOPE GRAPH” is
checked in the Options window.
The Envelope Graph displays the amplitude
(loudness) envelope of the sound whose pitch
is shown in the Pitch Graph. Additionally, its
central horizontal axis will display red in any
range in which time has been tracked.
When Time Control is enabled, the Envelope
Graph will display two envelopes, one above
the other; the original envelope on the bottom
and the (potentially) time-shifted envelope
on the top. See the Time Controls section for
details.
All/Tie Buttons
The Envelope Graph’s
horizontal (time) scale is
controlled by the “All” and “Tie”
buttons.
Clicking the All button causes the envelope
graph to display all of the currently tracked
audio. This is useful for quickly locating and
selecting various portions of audio spread over
the duration of a song.
Clicking the Tie button slaves the position of
the Envelope Graph to that of the Pitch Graph.
When this setting is selected, the horizontal
scale of the Envelope Graph is controlled by
the Pitch Graph horizontal scale buttons.
NOTE: If the Envelope Graph Display
has been hidden (by unchecking
“SHOW ENVELOPE GRAPH” in the
Options window), The All/Tie buttons will also
be hidden.
Auto Scroll
When Auto-Scroll is on (the
button is blue), Auto-Tune 8
will automatically scroll the
Pitch Graph Display using the method selected
in the Options window (I.e., either smooth or
screen-by-screen scrolling).
When Auto-Scroll is o (the button is pale
gray), the display will not scroll to follow the
play position.
NOTE: In addition to the above, if
Auto-Scroll is o while tracking
pitch or pitch and time, when the
transport is stopped to exit tracking mode,
Auto-Tune 8 will not automatically scale the
display to encompass all of the tracked audio,
as it normally would.
This is useful when you have zoomed in to a
problematic bit of audio and want to track
it a number of times with dierent Tracking
settings and observe the eects of the
dierent settings. If Auto-Scroll were on,
Auto-Tune 8 would rescale the display after
each tracking pass, annoyingly requiring you
to zoom back in to the bit you were interested
in each time. With Auto-Scroll (and therefore
automatic rescaling) o, that wouldn’t be
necessary.
