Auto Update
When Auto Update is selected, SoundReplacer
automatically updates the waveform display
each time you make a new selection on a source
track. If you frequently change selections or
start and stop playback, you may want to dese-
lect Auto Update to prevent frequent redraws.
Mix
Mix adjusts the mix of the replacement audio
file with the original source file. Higher percent-
age values weight the mix toward the replace-
ment audio. Lower percentage values weight the
mix toward the original source audio.
The Mix button toggles the Mix control on and
off. When Mix is toggled off, the balance is in-
stantly set to 100% replacement audio.
Dynamics
Dynamics controls how closely the audio events
in the replacement file track the dynamics of the
source file:
◆ Setting the ratio to 1.00 matches the dynam-
ics of the source file.
◆ Increasing the ratio above 1.00 expands the
dynamic range so that softer hits are softer, and
louder hits are louder. This is useful if the source
material lacks variation in its dynamic range.
◆ Decreasing the ratio below 1.00 compresses
the dynamic range so that there is less variation
between loud and soft hits. This is useful if the
dynamics of the source material are too ex-
treme.
The Dynamics button provides a quick means of
toggling on and off the Dynamics control.
When Dynamics is toggled off, SoundReplacer
will not track changes in the source audio file’s
dynamics. Audio events in the resulting replace-
ment audio file will uniformly be at the ampli-
tude of the replacement samples themselves,
with no variation in dynamics.
