Auto crossfade mode active
With every cut the two objects that are created are slighlty crossfaded in order to avoid crackling. This
is referred to as "Auto crossfading" (for more info on crossfades please also see Crossfading objects
). As all recorded and imported objects can be easily faded ? which is not always desired ? this option
can be deactivated.
Display values scale
The right edge of the track view shows a values scale. This indicates the level of waveforms in dB, and
the spectral display indicates specific frequencies in Hz.
Options for automatic track marker
recognition
In this dialog you set the options for the function "Set track markers automatically" For more information
read the "Automatic track recognition" section in the "Editing in the track view
" chapter!
Minimum length of pauses: This is the time that the audio
material must remain below a certain level in order to be recognized as a pause. The longer this value,
the fewer pauses will be detected. If the value is shorter, there is a possibility that short silent sequences
in a title might be recognized as a pause.
Minimum length of tracks:
A new pause will only be recognized once this amount of time has passed since the last track marker. If
you are recording a tape with a pop song and want to write it on CD, you can set this value to 3 minutes.
But if the tape contains short sound samples, the value has to be consequently much shorter.
Maximum level for pauses and Minimum level for pauses:
During the first step, the program searches for a suitable volume level for the pause detection. With these
two parameters, you can limit the results before the process continues. If too many pauses were
detected, then you should move both sliders more to the right. In the opposite case, move them to the
left.
Detection of LP and cassette sides: In certain occasions you might want to record both sides of an
LP immediately one after the other, without interrupting the recording at the computer. The result is
normally a very long audio file that includes a very silent passage in the middle of the recording (the
moment when you turned the LP or CD over). The program detects this as only one section and splits
the object into two new objects
and tries the same with both of the resulting objects. In the best case, even the noises produced while
turning the LP or cassette over will be eliminated. You can increase the precision of this process,
adjusting the minimum length of the side of your LP or MC. Here are a few proposals:
Single: 10 minutes
LP: 15 minutes
60 min MC: 25 minutes
90 min MC: 40 minutes
