Auto Gain

You must have some form of input to use this option. Auto Gain will set the record level for you. This feature automatically adjusts the level according to the highest input to help eliminate clipping. Input the sound you’ll be recording, click Save to set the level, then proceed with your recording. Move the thumb to the right of the sound wave grid to manually set the maximum level for clipping. In general, set the level dose to the second row from the top of the grid. Experiment with the Clip Level setting to see what the different levels will do.

Play Clipboard (-X)

The Play Clipboard option lets you hear the sample currently in the clipboard. The sample will play at the Playback Sample Rate set for the currently active window.

Use the Play Clipboard command to hear the clipboard contents before mixing. (Refer to the Mix command described earlier.)

Default Play Rate

This option will set the Playback Sample Rate back to what it was when loaded. Raw Data format files will be set to 22085 Hz. All other format files will be set to their original Playback Sample Rate.

Set Play to Record Rate

This is the easy way to set your Playback Sample Rate to the same setting as your Record Sample Rate.

Set Record To Play Rate

This is the easy way to set your Record Sample Rate to the same setting as your Playback Sample Rate. Use this option to

match the playback speed of one file to the recording speed of the next sample you record. For example, you may have a file that was recorded at a very fast rate. To make your next recorded file match the fast rate, select Set Record To Play Rate and then record your new file. The new recording will be made at the currently set Record Sample Rate so the new rate will match

the old rate. Now the two files can be edited together and won't sound like Mr. Bill meets Lurch.

Display Dots

This option replaces the sound graph’s lines with dots. It has no other affect on the file.
