End of File

Inserts the silence at the end of the file.

Cursor

Inserts the silence at the current insertion point.

You cannot insert silence to a single channel of a stereo file since the

length of each channel must always remain equal.

If you wish to shift in time a single channel of a stereo file, you can use

the Delay/Echo function (Effects menu) to delay one channel

backward or forward in time.

INVERT/FLIP

Use this command to invert the sound file at the base line (reverse polarity).

Although this does not make an audible difference, it can be useful for

matching a sample transition when executing certain pastes or mixes.

MUTE

Use this command to set a selection to a volume of 0 (silence).

NORMALIZE

Use this dialog to maximize the volume of a selection without clipping. The

Normalize function scans the audio and applies a gain to raise its level to a

specified (often very high) value.

NORMALIZE TO (-60 TO 0 DB)

This value indicates the level to which the sound file will be normalized. For

example, when using peaks, if the peak level is -10 dB, and the Normalize to

setting is set to -3 dB, a constant boost of 7 dB will be applied to the entire file.
