The list columns for audio events

Name

Allows you to change the name of the event. Double-clicking the waveform image to the left of it opens the event in the Sample Editor.

File

The name of the audio file referenced by the event’s audio clip.

Start

The start position of the event. If the event belongs to an audio part, you cannot move it outside the part.

End

The end position of the event.

Snap

The absolute position of the event’s snap point. Note that adjusting this value will not change the position of the snap point within the event – instead it is another way of moving the event!

Length

The length of the event.

Offset

This determines “where in the audio clip” the event starts. Adjusting this value is the same as sliding the contents of the event in the Project window.

You can only specify positive Offset values, because the event cannot start before the start of the clip. Likewise, it cannot end after the end of the clip. If the event already plays the whole clip, the Offset cannot be adjusted at all.

Volume

The volume of the event, as set with the Volume handle or on the info line in the Project window.

Fade In/Fade Out

The length of the fade-in and fade-out areas respectively. If you use these settings to add a fade (where there previously was none), a linear fade will be created. If you adjust the length of an existing fade, the previous fade shape will be maintained.

Mute

Click in this column to mute or unmute the event.

Image

Displays a waveform image of the event inside a box corresponding to the clip. The image is scaled according to the width of the column.
