The master track
Audio material display
All of a project's audio material is displayed in the master track of the track
window as a waveform. The waveform corresponds with the acoustic
properties of the material. This means that there isn't anything to listen to at
places where there isn't anything visually; higher waves mean high
volumes. The tracks waveform display forms the most important basis for
locating specific passages.
The display is compressed, meaning that the waveform is displayed as a ratio
of loud passages to quiet passages. This ensures correct display for quieter
sections at the beginning or end of a song.
Position line
During playback a thin line will move horizontally from the left to the right over
the master track. This is the position line, which indicate, which part of the
wave form is currently reproduced.
The last starting point of the playback is indicated by a small triangle in the
master track. The position line will jump back to that position, once playback
has finished.
