Units of measurement
This sub-menu allows you to determine different units for the timeline.
You can choose between samples, milliseconds hour/minute/second
and CD frames.
Keyboard shortcuts:
Samples Shift + 1
Milliseconds Shift + 2
h:min:sec Shift + 3
Min:Sec:CD frames Shift + 4
Mouse Grid Active
The mouse grid ensures that the objects, Handles and Markers
cannot be moved accidentally. If activated, changes are made only if
the movement of the mouse exceeds a certain minimum distance. If
you want to work with a high precision without having to zoom in,
you can deactivate this safety measure here.
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 (view page 52)). 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.
Path settings
In this dialog, you can set the memory path for your recorded audio
files (New projects) as well as the search path for VST plug-ins.
