Fade Down

Fade Down will modify the selected segment to sound as if the volume was gradually turned down toward the end of the segment.

Fade Up

Fade Up will modify the beginning of the segment to make the amplitude start low and build as if the volume was gradually turned up.

Phase Shift

Phase Shift is for stereo waves. This effect gives you the same result as reversing the positive and negative speaker wires of one stereo speaker. Normally, stereo speaker cones move in and out similarly (in phase). When you reverse the wires of one speaker, it reverses the phase of that speaker so that when a phase pushes one cone out, the other cone is moving back. This creates what is called an ambient effect.

Phase Shift lets you reverse the phase of one channel without changing the speaker wires. Try it out and hear the difference.

1)Open a stereo file.

2)Select the Effects Channel option under the Setup menu.

3)Choose Display Channel from the Effects Channel dialog box.

4)Click the Ok box.

5)Select the entire sample or the segment of the sample you want to phase shift.

6)Select the Phase Shift option.

7)Play the sample.

shift

Select the Shift option to change the zero level of a selected segment. Use the Shift option to match zero levels of two segments and avoid the audible “click” that is played when a sample makes a jump from one zero level to another.

1)Select the entire sample or the segment of the sample you want to shift.
