may be comprised of many regions. The new file will be

 

 

contiguous, including all blank spaces and audio from all the

 

 

selected regions. Typically this function would be used if you

 

 

wanted to export an edited track to an external workstation for

 

 

further processing or editing.

 

 

 

Rendering works on multiple tracks as well, allowing a multitrack

 

 

project to be exported to an external workstation with the starting

 

 

point of all the tracks aligned in time.

 

 

Selecting Render Tracks brings up a dialog box which allows you to

 

 

choose between All and Selected (highlighted track number) tracks,

 

 

and the format (WAV or AIFF) for the rendered file. The dialog box

 

 

lists the track’s starting and ending time as default values, but these

 

 

can be edited by clicking on the time field if rendering a shorter

 

 

portion of the track is desired.

 

 

The rendered track is placed on the project’s Region List with the

 

 

default name of the track and the rendering number. Renaming the

 

 

rendered track name in the Region List allows you to tag it with

 

 

something possibly more meaningful (like “Comp Vocal”).

Menu Item

What It Does

 

 

 

 

View Waveforms

This is an on/off toggles that switches the screen display between

 

 

block regions with or or without the waveform of the recorded audio

 

 

shown within the block. Selecting this item checks (on) or

 

 

unchecks (off) this option.

 

 

 

Normally you’ll want to see waveforms when defining and trimming

 

 

regions, but once all your regions are defined, screen redrawing is

 

 

a little faster without all those squiggles.

 

View Envelopes

This is an on/off toggles that turns the volume envelope display on

 

 

or off. Selecting this item checks (on) or unchecks (off) this option.

 

 

The screen display is less cluttered with Envelope Display turned

 

 

off, but it is essential for editing volume envelopes, and can remind

 

 

you of a fade or mute which you’ve entered previously.

 

Meter Mode

Selects the GUI Meter display response time between fastPeak

 

 

(responding fastpeak responding), Average (slower responding)

 

 

average, or bBoth (peak and average, side by side). See the

 

 

Metering section of this manual for more details.

 

Peak Hold

This is an toggles that turns the floating peak level indicator at the

 

 

top of the GUI meter bar on

or off. Selecting this item checks (on)

 

 

or unchecks (off) this option.

 

 

Time Units

Selects the time and time bar display in time, musical units or

 

 

sample number.
