To open an audio file project or other single audio file in the File Editor project view, do one of the following:

mDouble-click a file in the Browser, Search, or Favorites tab.

mOpen a file from Final Cut Pro or another audio application.

Note: A single file from a multitrack project also appears in the File Editor project view when you double-click that file in the Timeline.

To save an audio file project or other single audio file:

1Choose File > Save.

A Save dialog appears.

2Enter a name for your file in the Save As field and define where to save it using the Where pop-up menu.

3Choose a file type for saving your audio file project and select any other applicable options.

ÂBit Depth: Choose between 8-bit and 32-bit integer or floating point bit rate.

ÂSample Rate: Choose between 32,000 and 192,000 Hz.

ÂDither: Reduces quantization errors in low-level audio signals, such as the end of a fade-out or the last trailing moments of a reverb effect. Dithering is useful when saving a project at a lower bit depth or sample rate.

ÂInclude Source Audio: Includes a copy of the source audio files in the audio file project. Not selecting the checkbox includes a link to, instead of a copy of, the original source audio.

Note: If you don’t select the Include Source Audio checkbox, the original audio file is not saved as part of the project file and your project will not play unless the original file is available in its original location.

The Apple II is a defining product in the history of personal computing, first introduced in 1977 by Apple Computer, Inc. Designed by Steve Wozniak, the Apple II was one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products and played a significant role in bringing personal computers into homes and schools.

One of the Apple II's standout features was its color graphics capability. It was one of the first personal computers to provide color output, thanks to its built-in video interface. The initial model supported a resolution of 280x192 pixels with a palette of 6 colors, which allowed for vibrant visuals that set it apart from contemporaries like the monochrome Altair 8800.

The Apple II was notable for its open architecture. This design allowed users to expand the computer's capabilities easily through a series of expansion slots. Users could add floppy disk drives, additional memory, and various peripheral devices, making the system highly adaptable to individual needs. This encouraged a thriving ecosystem of third-party hardware and software, which contributed to its popularity.

Another significant feature was its use of the 6502 microprocessor. This 8-bit CPU was not only affordable but also powerful for its time, allowing the Apple II to run various applications efficiently. Along with a built-in keyboard and an innovative plastic case that housed its components, the design was user-friendly and appealing.

The Apple II also introduced the concept of “bootable software” through the use of floppy disks. The disk operating system (DOS) allowed users to store and run multiple programs without having to reload software manually, providing a level of convenience that had not been widely available before. Key software like VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program, helped boost sales, showcasing the Apple II's utility in business and education environments.

The computer was also well-known for its early adoption of BASIC programming language. Apple provided an operating system that supported Applesoft BASIC, which enabled users, including students, to write their programs, further fostering a community of developers.

In summary, the Apple II's color graphics, open architecture, powerful 6502 processor, innovative use of floppy disks, and support for BASIC programming made it a revolutionary product in its time. Its legacy laid the groundwork for future personal computers and established Apple as a leader in the burgeoning tech industry. The Apple II remains an iconic symbol of the early personal computing era, reflecting a generation's transition into a digitally connected world.
