Audio Plug-Ins Guide494
To audition a replacement sample before load-
ing it into SoundReplacer, use the Import Audio
command in Pro Tools. Once you have located
and previewed the desired audio file, you can
then load it into SoundReplacer using the
Load/Unload Sound icons.
SoundReplacer Zoomer
The Zoomer increases or decreases magnifica-
tion of the waveform data currently visible in
the center of the waveform display so that you
can more accurately set sample trigger thresh-
olds.
• To zoom in on amplitude, click the Up Arrow.
• To zoom out on amplitude, click the
Down Arrow.
• To zoom in on time, click the Right Arrow.
• To zoom out on time, click the Left Arrow.
SoundReplacer Crossfade
When Crossfade is selected, SoundReplacer
crossfades between replacement audio files in
different amplitude zones. This helps smooth
the transition between them.
When Crossfade is deselected, SoundReplacer
hard switches between replacement audio files
in different amplitude zones.
Crossfading is particularly useful for adding a
sense of realism to drum replacement. Crossfad-
ing between a straight snare hit and a rim shot,
for example, results in a much more “live” feel
than simply hard switching between the two
samples.
SoundReplacer Peak Align
When Peak Align is on, SoundReplacer aligns
the peak of the replacement file with the peak of
the source file in a way that best maintains
phase coherency. When Peak Align is off,
SoundReplacer aligns the beginning of the re-
placement file with the trigger threshold point.
Depending on the characteristics of your source
and replacement audio files, using Peak Align
can significantly affect the timing of audio
events in the replacement file. It is essential that
you choose the option most appropriate to the
material that you are replacing.
SoundReplacer does not load clips that are
part of larger audio files. To use a clip as a
replacement sample, you must first save it
as an individual audio file.
Zoomer
If you zoom the waveform display below a
specific Threshold slider’s amplitude zone,
the slider will be temporarily unavailable.
To access the slider again, zoom back out to
an appropriate magnification level.

Align, see “Getting Optimum Results with
SoundReplacer” on page 497.
