Preference Description
Preserve pitch when stretching When this check box is selected, the pitch of an audio event is preserved when
audio events you hold Ctrl and drag the end of the event to change its duration.
When the check box is cleared, audio events' pitch will increase when you make
an event shorter and will decrease when you make an event longer.
Collapse loop region when no When this check box is selected, the loop region is reset when no data is selected.
time selection is present If the check box is cleared, the loop region will retain the last selection.
Fade edit edges of audio events When this check box is selected, a rapid fade is added to the edges of audio
(ms) events (10ms by default) to soften potentially harsh transitions that can result
from cutting data or splitting events. When the command is not selected, edges
of new events are not faded (fades that were applied before the check box is
cleared are not removed).
Enter a value in the box to change the length of the fade.
Default time between CD tracks Enter a value in the edit box to specify the length of time that is inserted between
events when you add media to the timeline.
Automatically detect CD length When this check box is selected, CD Architect software will automatically detect
the length of your blank CDs when you insert them in your drive.
When this check box is cleared, you need to choose Refresh Disc Status from the
Disc menu to read the available time on a CD.
Default CD Length Enter the default length for CD media. This length is used if the software has not
yet scanned your CD drive or if no CD is in your drive.
This length is used to calculate the amount of time remaining on the disc that is
displayed in the status bar, and you can update the information by choosing
Refresh Disc Status from the Disc menu.
Normalize peak level (dB) Use the slider to change the default Peak Level settings. This value will be used
when you use the Normalize event switch in the Playlist window.
