Edit Tab (Audio Editor)

In the Audio Editor, click Edit.

Tools

Time Selection: Tool that allows you to select a time range.
Pen: Tool that allows you to redraw the waveform in the wave window. This can be used to quickly repair waveform errors.
Play: Tool that allows you to play back the audio file at the position where you click.

Zoom

Zoom

Activates the Zoom tool that allows you to define a time range that is zoomed in.

Time

Opens a pop-up menu that allows you to adjust the zoom to display the selected time range. Zoom in 1:1 zooms in so that one pixel on the screen represents one sample.

To edit the zoom factor, click Edit Zoom Factor. This opens the Zoom Factor dialog, where you can edit the following settings:

Set Time Range allows you to specify the time range that you want to display.
Samples per Screen Point allows you to specify how many audio samples are summarized in each screen point.
Screen Points per Sample allows you to specify how many screen points are used to represent a single audio sample.

Zoom Selection

Zooms the window so that the current selection occupies the entire montage window.

Microscope

Zooms in as far as possible.

View All

Zooms out as far as possible.

Display Whole Clip

Adjusts the view to display the active clip.

Zoom in Audio (10x)/Zoom out Audio (10x)

Zooms in/out in big steps.

Zoom in Audio/Zoom out Audio

Zooms in/out in small steps.

Zoom in Vertically/Zoom out Vertically

Zooms in/out to show waveforms with a lower/higher level.

Level

Adjusts the zoom to only display samples below the selected dB value.

Reset Zoom to 0 dB

Adjusts the zoom to display audio levels up to 0 dB.

Analysis

3D Frequency Analysis: Opens the 3D Frequency Analysis dialog where you can define which frequency range is analyzed and modify the appearance of the graph for the 3D frequency analysis.

Cutting

Crop: Deletes the data outside the selection.
Delete: Deletes the selection. The audio to the right of the selection is moved to the left to fill the gap.

Clipboard

Copy

Copies the active clip or the selected audio range to the clipboard.

Cut

Cuts the selected audio range to the clipboard.

Paste

Pastes the clipboard content.

Right-click Paste to open a pop-up menu that allows you to select a paste type.

Overwrite replaces the audio at the cursor position.
Append adds the pasted audio after the end of the file.
Prepend adds the pasted audio before the beginning of the file.
Multiple Copies opens a dialog in which you can enter the number of copies that you want to create.
Mix blends two files into each other, starting at the selection or, if there is no selection, at the cursor position.

If you select Mix, a dialog opens, allowing you to specify the gain and phase for the audio on the clipboard and at the destination. The clipboard data is always mixed in, regardless of the length of the selection.

Paste and Crossfade

Pastes the clipboard content and creates a crossfade.

Right-click Paste and Crossfade to open a pop-up menu that allows you to select a crossfade type for pasting.

Linear (Equal Gain) changes the level linearly.
Sinus (Equal Power) changes the level according to a sine curve, the power of the mix remains constant.
Square-Root (Equal Power) changes the level according to a square-root curve, the power of the mix remains constant.

Level

Gain: Opens the Gain dialog where you can apply a gain to change the level of an audio file.
Level: Opens the Level Normalizer dialog where you can change the peak level of an audio file.
Loudness: Opens the Loudness Normalizer dialog where you can specify the loudness of a file.

Fading

Fade In/Fade Out

Allows you to apply a fade in or fade out. Right-click the button to open the Curve pop-up menu.

Curve

Allows you to select preset fade curves.

Linear changes the level linearly.
Sinus (*) changes the level according to a sine curve. When used in a crossfade, the loudness (RMS) remains constant during the transition.
Square-Root (*) changes the level according to a square-root curve. When used in a crossfade, the loudness (RMS) remains constant during the transition.
Sinusoid changes the level according to a sine curve.
Logarithmic changes the level according to a logarithmic curve.
Exponential changes the level according to an exponential curve.
Exponential+ changes the level according to a more pronounced exponential curve.

Correction

Error Correction Method

Allows you to select the error correction method.

Linear Interpolation draws a straight line between the first and the last selected samples.
Optimal for Small Clicks – 1 ms is optimal to remove clicks smaller than 1 milliseconds.
Optimal for Common Clicks – 3 ms is optimal to remove clicks smaller than 3 milliseconds.
Waveform Replacement – 500 ms replaces the corrupt samples with the best match detected in the material up to 500 milliseconds to the left/right.
Waveform Replacement – 4 s replaces the corrupt samples with the best match detected in the material up to 4 seconds to the left/right.
Waveform Replacement – Left 6 s replaces the corrupt samples with the best match detected in the material up to 6 seconds to the left.
Waveform Replacement – Right 6 s replaces the corrupt samples with the best match detected in the material up to 6 seconds to the right.
Inpainting replaces the corrupt samples using spectral inpainting.

Markers

Create Marker: Allows you to create markers and marker pairs at the edit cursor position.

Signal

Mute Selection: Replaces the audio selection with silence.
Silence Generator: Opens the Silence Generator dialog that allows you to insert silence or ambience sound in an audio file.
Bleep Censor: Opens the Bleep Censor dialog that allows you to replace a part in an audio file with a tone to cover a swear word, for example.

Output

Render: Starts the rendering process.
