Defining a Region for Spectral Editing

All spectral editing functions are applied to a selected region, or from a selection region if Master Section processing is used. A region that is set in the Spectrogram or the Wavelet display contains a time range and a frequency range.

Prerequisite

Zoom in on the time range where you want to perform spectral editing.

Procedure

  1. In the Audio Editor, select the Spectrum tab.
  2. In the Selection section, select one of the spectrum selection tools.
  3. In the Spectrogram or Wavelet display, drag the selection around the region that you want to edit.

    When defining a region in a stereo file, a corresponding region is automatically created in the other channel.

    To define a region only on the right or the left channel, Shift-click while dragging with the spectrum selection tool.

    The selection range is also displayed in the overview display. This allows you to see both the time domain and the frequency domain of the selection range. You can also resize the time range for the frequency selection by adjusting the selection edges on the waveform display.

  4. Optional: Click and drag the defined region to move it.
  5. Optional: Move the cursor over a region edge, and click and drag to resize the defined region.

After Completing This Task

Process the selected region in the Spectrum tab.
