Understanding the envelope graph

To use the envelope graph, you must first understand what it represents. In the previous example, the horizontal axis represents time, with the leftmost point representing the start of the selection and the rightmost point representing the end of the selection. The vertical axis represents either amplitude or frequency, depending upon the operation.

2.Release the mouse button. The point is repositioned and the envelope adjusts.

Moving multiple envelope points

1.Starting in an unused area of the envelope graph, drag the mouse to create a selection box containing all points to be moved.
