VIP
Various VIP components (buttons/sliders, peak meters, show border, arrangement text,
compressed waveform, and CPU peak meter) can be activated/deactivated here.
Buttons/slider displays the track header with all mixer controls, i.e. the channel faders,
solo buttons, etc. If you always have the track editor open, then you won't have to use
these functionally identical control elements at this location. However, if the track header is
left open, then only the track header's peak meter will be able to be hidden.
If you hide the borders, the edge of the selected track will disappear.
Arrangement text identifies the tracks for the two editing ranges in "Universal" mouse
mode. If you place a check mark here, you will see "Play cursor and range manipulation
area" in the top half of the track and "Object manipulation area" appears beneath this.
Compressed wave display: This display option causes the waveform to be distorted
according to the zoom level. The transition from silence (less than –90 dB) to signals with
lower levels (e.g. noise) is also shown more clearly.
CPU peak meter: If this option is activated, the peak meter in the track header displays
the CPU load per track. The upper peak meter displays the load on the Economy Engine
for the left channel, while the peak meter below this displays the load on the Low Latency
Engine for the right channel. In this case, a display value of 0dB equals a load of 100%.
Note: The dB displayed by the track header peak meter depends on the skin (view page
481) selected for Samplitude.
Objects
Draw background: This activates the background color view of the selected objects.
Every object may be assigned its own color (see "Object .> Object color/name (view page
563)" or in the object editor under "Color").
