The master track
Audio material display
All of a project's audio material is displayed in the master track of the
track window as a waveform. The waveform corresponds with the
acoustic properties of the material. This means that there isn't
anything to listen to at places where there isn't anything visually;
higher waves mean high volumes. The tracks waveform display forms
the most important basis for locating specific passages.
The display is compressed, meaning that the waveform is displayed
as a ratio of loud passages to quiet passages. This ensures correct
display for quieter sections at the beginning or end of a song.
Position line
During playback a thin line will move horizontally from the left to the
right over the master track. This is the position line, which indicate,
which part of the wave form is currently reproduced.
