35 Chapter 5: Editing audio files Displaying audio in the Waveform Editor View audio waveforms and spectrums In the Waveform Editor, the Editor panel provides a visual representation of sound waves. Below the panel's default waveform display, which is ideal for evaluating audio amplitude, you can view audio in the spectral display, which reveals audio frequency (low bass to high treble). ❖ To view the spectral display, do either of the following:. • In the toolbar, click the Spectral Display button. • In the Editor panel, drag the divider between the waveform and spectral displays to change the proportion of each. To instantly show or hide the spectral display, double-click the handle or click the triangle to its right. A B Viewing the waveform and spectral displays A. Drag the divider to change the proportion of each. B. Click the triangle to show or hide the spectral display. To identify specific channels in stereo and 5.1 surround files, note the indicators in the vertical ruler. More Help topics "Sound waves" on page 3 "Comparing the Waveform and Multitrack editors" on page 8 About the waveform display The waveform display shows a waveform as a series of positive and negative peaks. The x-axis (horizontal ruler) measures time, and the y-axis (vertical ruler) measures amplitude-the loudness of the audio signal. Quiet audio has both lower peaks and lower valleys (near the center line) than loud audio. You can customize the waveform display by changing the vertical scale and colors. Last updated 2/16/2012
