Fading objects
If an object is moved over an object bordering to the right, it will cover the preceding object (as if a
sheet of paper covers another one fully or partially). The invisible part of an object is not played.
Both objects
moved on top of each other are automatically crossfaded if the fade handle of the following object is
moved slightly to the right. This way you can create smooth track transitions.
A fade is displayed on a marked object as a crossfade
symbol.
Clicking on this symbol lets you change the curve shape of the transitions.
Change song order
You do not have to move the objects themselves to change the sequence of the songs. As the following
objects will all move up one position, this would only be possible using a second track. It is much easier
to move the corresponding track markers in front of or behind another track marker. Doing this will
regroup the corresponding objects. The most comfortable solution is to use the arrow keys in the CD
track list
.
Automatic insertion of pauses between
objects
When importing individual songs (or other audio material) one after the other, they will be presented in
the track as a sequence of objects
. The program automatically introduces a 2 second break (space) between each of the objects.
You can change the default pause lenght in the "CD" menu
> "Set automatic pause length"
Several songs in a single long object
When you record an LP for example, one complete side of the LP will appear as one single object in
your track window. If you want to split such an object into individual song-objects
, you will have to search for the transitions in the waveform presentation and cut them "by hand".
In most cases however, it is not necessary to create an individual object for each song. Placing track
markers at the beginning of the songs is normally sufficient.
Draw volume curves
With the "Vol" button, you activate a volume curve. You can
modify the course of a volume curve for your audio
material (for example, to iron out fluctuations of volume in a
recording or to increase the volume during quiet passages).
Changes in volume are immediately presented in waveform, enabling an easy graphic comparison of
volumes between different passages.
There are basically two methods with which to edit volume curves:
1.
By clicking on a curve, "volume curve handle" is called up. You can move it with the mouse to
produce lineal fades. These fades are calculated exactly to match the sample, thus eliminating
clicks or other unwanted noises. This method is recommended for longer passages that demand
