ADOBE AUDITION 27 User Guide Since Sel/View Controls is a dockable window, you can reposition it at one of several places in the Adobe Audition interface. You may also detach the Show Sel/View Controls window and have it float above Adobe Audition's main window. To close the Sel/View Controls window when it's floating, click on the "X" control in its title bar. To get rid of the Sel/View Controls window when it's docked, right-click on its grab bar and select Close from the pop-up menu. Or, you can simply uncheck the Show Sel/View Controls item on the View menu to close it in either docking or floating mode. Status Bar The Status Bar window runs along the very bottom of Adobe Audition's main window. It can display information such as sample format, file size, and free disk space. Status Bar Right-click on the Status Bar to show a menu of display options (which are described below). Check the items you wish to display; uncheck the items you don't want to see. You may also access Status Bar options from Adobe Audition's View menu. Data Under Cursor This shows useful information such as the channel (if a current waveform is stereo), the amplitude (measured in dB), and the time (hours:minutes:seconds:hundredths of seconds) from the beginning of the audio file. This data is computed at the precise point where your mouse cursor is placed within the wave display, and changes dynamically when the mouse cursor is moved. Example: If you see "R: -15.2dB @ 0:00:242" in the status bar when in Edit View, this means that your cursor is over the right channel at 0.242 seconds into the waveform, and the amplitude at that precise point is -15.2 decibels. In the Multitrack View, you'll see even more beneficial data such as Pan and Volume envelope positions, envelope positions for effects envelopes, dynamic effect settings, and the current position of the wave block as you drag it around. Sample Format When this item is checked, sample information about the currently loaded waveform is displayed. For instance, a 44,100 kHz 16-bit stereo file shows up as "44100 - 16-bit - stereo". File Size (K) This value represents how large the active audio file is, measured in kilobytes. If you see "308 K" in the status bar, then the current waveform is 308 kilobytes (KB) in size. File size (time) This figure tells you the length (measured in time) of the current waveform. For instance, "0:01:247" means the sound file is 1.247 seconds long. Free Space (K) This option lets you see how much space is available on your hard drive. A typical display might be "7028.32 MB free".
