6.6.4 Waveform Display
With the button WAVE you can switch on or off the waveform
display of the audio clips in the timeline. You can find it at the
bottom of the timeline area to the left of the sliders that change the
timeline’s view, directly to the right of the button VOLUME.
A waveform is a graphical representation of an audio signal and the
WAVE button displays or hides the wave forms of the audio clips:
Figure 6-68: Audio waveforms
For each channel available in the respective audio clip one waveform
will be displayed, i.e. a mono clip provides one waveform only whereas
a stereo clip shows two waveforms, one for each channel.
6 dB 200 %
12 dB 400 %
While a totally decreased control point means that audio is
muted, a fully increased one does not necessarily mean that
audio is set to 200 %. You can move a control point beyond
the limits of the audio clip which will increase the volume over
200 %. This will be indicated by a shifted 100 % level line: it is
then located in the lower half of the audio clip.
The appearance of the waveforms can be configured to your
liking with the Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configura-
tions” user guide).
