GENERAL FUNCTIONS IN THE PROJECT WINDOW 103
Regardless of the mode you load your wave project in, you can toggle between destructive
and virtual wave editing via the Options menu -> Project properties ->Destructive wave
editing mode. If the box has been checked the extension, "Destructive" will appear in the
title list of your project.
In "Destructive" mode wave projects are written directly to the hard drive. Changes in the
editing window immediately affect the audio wave file. To be able to undo actions in the
opened file in this mode using "Ctrl+Z", you have to activate the "Undo" function for wave
projects in the program settings ("Y -> Program -> Undo").
Non-destructive wave editing
With Samplitude you can also perform non-destructive (virtual) wave editing. This editing
mode has the advantage that it works directly in the audio material, combined with the
benefits of non-destructive virtual editing as known from the VIP of your objects. In relation
to destructive wave editing mode, the following differences can be seen:
The features "Cut, Copy, Delete" and "Insert" are non-destructive. The positions were such
operations took place are marked with dotted lines. The named operations can be
performed in real-time as it is no longer necessary to copy data to the hard drive for undo
functions. All edits are performed when the wave project is saved and are then added to
the project.
Volume and panorama curve
Volume and panorama editing are also virtual in this wave editing mode. Activate the
"Volume/Automation draw" mode. You can now draw level and panorama curves with the
mouse just like in the VIP.
Master section
If you now open the mixer window by pressing "M", you will see a minimized mixer on the
master channel. This makes all real-time effects with which you are already familiar from the
VIP master section available, even for non-destructive wave projects. This way you can
apply multiple effects simultaneously during non-destructive wave editing. With destructive
editing, however, only one effect can be written to the wave file at a time.
Auto crossfade
The "Auto crossfade" option also effects each change or insert operation (if active) in wave
projects.
Hints & Tips
Here are some hints on how to work very efficiently with Samplitude:
New wave project via drag & drop
Click on a selected range from the range list of your wave project and drag it up from the
editing window and out onto a free section of the program background in order to create a
new wave project. This way, you can quickly make copies of the entire wave project or
just parts of it.
