Tempo | Tempo is the rhythmic rate of a musical composition, usually specified in beats per |
| minute (BPM). |
|
|
Threshold | A threshold determines the level at which the signal processor begins acting on the |
| signal. During normalization, levels above this threshold are attenuated (cut). |
|
|
Time Format | The format by which the time ruler and selection times are displayed. These can include: |
| time, seconds, frames, and all standard SMPTE frame rates. |
|
|
Track | A discrete timeline for audio data. Audio events sit on tracks and determine when a sound |
| starts and stops. Multiple audio tracks are played together to give you a composite sound |
| that you hear through your speakers. |
|
|
Track List | The track list contains the master controls for each track. From here you can adjust the |
| mix, select playback devices, and reorder tracks. |
|
|
Track View | The majority of the track view is made up of the space where you draw events on each |
| track. |

| Geneva Recommendations (G.711). The G.711 recommendation defines |
| method of encoding |
| commonly used in European and Asian telecommunications. |
| Law, however, each uses a slightly different coder and decoder. |
|
|
Undo/Redo | These commands allow you to change a project back to a previous state or reapply |
| changes after you have undone them. |

Virtual MIDI Router | A |
(VMR) | timecode and send MIDI clock. No MIDI hardware or cables are required for a VMR, so |
| routing can only be performed between programs running on the same PC. |
|
|
VST Instrument (VSTi) | A Virtual Studio Technology instrument (VSTi®) is software synthesizer |
| for outputting MIDI developed by Steinberg Media Technologies AG. |
|
|
WAV | A digital audio file format developed by Microsoft and IBM®. One minute of |
| uncompressed audio requires 10 MB of storage. |
|
|
Waveform | A waveform is the visual representation of |
| For example, when the amplitude of sound pressure is graphed over time, pressure |
| variations usually form a smooth waveform. |
|
|
Waveform Display | Each event shows a graph of the sound data waveform. The vertical axis corresponds to |
| the amplitude of the wave. For |
| For |
| the leftmost point being the start of the waveform. In memory, the horizontal axis |
| corresponds to the number of samples from the start of the sound file. |
|
|
Windows Media® Format | A Microsoft® file format that can handle audio and video presentations and other data |
| such as scripts, URL flips, images and HTML tags. Advanced Streaming Format files can be |
| saved with .asf, .wma, or .wmv extensions. |
