Object level
Every object
can have an independent setting for its volume level. This can be
performed by changing the upper handles of the object or with "Effects ->
Amplitude/Normalize -> Normalize object".
The audio data is not changed. The calculations are performed in real-time
during playback.
Track level
The volume of every track can be changed dynamically with the volume
automation curve and the volume fader in the mixer or the VIP.
The audio data is not changed. The calculations are performed in real-time
during playback.
Output mode
You can setup the output mode in the playback parameter dialog ("P").
With the "Sample rate" option you can choose a different sample rate as
playback. "Device" allows you to select the desired playback device (if you
have more then one active sound card).
Please note that some sound cards are not be able to playback all sample
rates.
Note: Different recording and replay devices for individual tracks can be
selected in the track information dialog rather than the play parameter window.
Track information opens by clicking on the track number.
Record
Hard drive recording
The device used to digitize audio signals is already included on the sound card
and is called an analog/digital converter (A-to-D, ATD or A/D). In order to
record, the A/D Converter gathers samples of the signal to be digitized in
determined time lapses and measures its frequency. The rate is called ”sample
rate” and normally lies in the kHz ranges. KHz means a vibrating frequency of
several thousand times per second. The higher the rate, the more samples are
taken by the A/D converter and the more natural the digital transformation of
the sound will be.
