Preview Controls and
Indicators
Every DigiBase browser provides the following
preview controls in the Toolbar: Preview, Volume,
Meters, Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo,
and Elastic Audio Plug-In.
Preview Button
The Preview button starts and stops preview of au-
dio files selected in DigiBase browsers. You can
also Right-click the Preview button to change the
Preview mode and set whether or not the spacebar
toggles file preview.
Volume
The Volume control in DigiBase browsers lets you
boost or attenuate the gain for previewing selected
files.
To change the volume for previewing in DigiBase
browsers:
1 Click the Volume field to display the Volume
fader.
2 Adjust the Volume fader (from –INF to
+12 dB).
Meters
The meters display the level of the audio and also
provide clip indicators. For mono files, the mono
signal is shown in both meters. For stereo files, the
top and bottom meters show the left and right
channels respectively. Greater than stereo multi-
channel files are displayed as summed mono in
both meters.
The Clip LED lights when clipping occurs and
clears automatically after 3 seconds.
Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo Button
The Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo but-
ton mirrors the corresponding Browser menu com-
mand. When enabled, all tick-based audio files
with Elastic Audio analysis, as well as REX and
ACID files, conform to the session tempo. This
lets you play back the session, and then simultane-
ously preview the selected files in time with the
session. The Audio Files Conform to Session
Tempo button is only available when a session is
open, otherwise it is disabled and grayed out.
