Select Region

Select Region tells you how many bytes you currently have selected. In the example screen, the selected area is bytes.

If you’ve selected the entire window (by choosing Select All [-A] or by dragging across the entire wave when set to Full view), and the number on the cassette label is slightly different from the number in the Select Region, don’t worry; this is due to rounding. If the number on the label is about twice the number of the Select Region, you’re working with a stereo file; each channel is half of the entire file’s value.

Resolution

Resolution is a ratio of how many sound samples per screen

pixel are being displayed. 1:1 means that every horizontal pixel in the sound graph represents one sound sample. Resolution will vary from file to file and changes (by a factor of 2 or .5) as you use the Zoom In/Zoom Out options under the View menu.
