Wave drawing mode
Repair short distortions such as crackling directly in the wave form of the
audio file by using the Wave drawing mode. Such distortions usually only last
a few sample values, so you can use the mouse and try to draw along the
original waveform without the distortion.
There is an automatic zoom function in the wave form display when you switch into
the Wave drawing mode, so sample values become visible.
Warning: Unlike other editing of the master track which only affects the project, this
mode lets you work directly with the Wave audio file, i.e. on the recorded raw
material, which is changed directly and permanently. Create a backup copy to undo
changes. Back up copies are created automatically when working with MP3 and
other compressed formats, since such files have to be converted into the Wave
format for this function.
Spectral edit mouse mode
You can remove individual noises within the sound spectrum of the audio
material with the help of the spectral edit mouse mode.
In that case, it is a simplified version of Spectral Cleaning that is integrated into the
master track.
The view of the master track changes to Spectral display (view page 36) and you can
create an area
around the noise with your mouse. Its size is still adjustable afterwards
by simply stretching the handles at the frame.
You can hear the impact of the effect straight after playing the corresponding
passage. Two buttons are located at the frame of the disturbances. By clicking "OK"
the editing will be calculated into the audio material instantly. A copy of your original
material has been automatically saved beforehand so you can undo any editing (Ctrl +
Z).
By clicking "Cancel" you delete the frame and end the filtering process.
