11 Bogart SE 3 Addition to the manual
The lower half displays the sound envelope of the sample . This
is where the changes are carried out, by setting points .
Note: This new type of sound view is only available in the
timeline view.
Sound sample menus
You can see a menu icon in the middle of the active (clicked
upon) sample. Use this to access additional sound editing
functions . You should click on the sound sample you want to
work with . This will call up the corresponding menu .
The functions displayed here are directly connected to the
corresponding sound sample . This is called a „context menu“ .
Thanks to this type of menu, you can prevent long clicking se-
quences with the trackball, and save a lot of time as well. Here,
you should find several functions you are familiar with, but also
new functions .
You should move the mouse pointer to the icon and then click
on the left trackball button . Fewer functions will be displayed
for samples of the video sound than for samples of the mixing
tracks .
The table below contains a description of the functions .
of other sound samples or the yellow guide line . This way, it
becomes a lot easier to accurately position the sample .
When you drop a sound sample on top of another one, it will
be positioned directly behind it, as long as there is room .
This makes it a lot easier to put several samples behind one
another .
When a sample is dropped in a free spot that is shorter than
the sample, the sample will automatically be trimmed at the
end .
Should you decide not to insert the sample, simply click the
right trackball button once .
Freely moving audio samples
In addition to the existing possibility to move sound samples
inside a sound track (Range button), it is now also possible to
move them around freely .
In order to do this, you should click on the little button at the
center on top of the sample you want to move . This will open a
menu in which you can select what you want to do, the sample
menu . Select the first option „move free“ (We‘ll talk about the
other options later) .
The sample is the removed from the track and you get a dif-
ferent pointer, the one that was described previously when we
were talking about inserting new samples . It will also behave
the same way as described previously . You can now move the
pointer and insert the sample somewhere else .
Click on the right button to cancel this procedure - the sample
will now return to the location where it was before . Samples
that have been trimmed do not change when they are being
moved around . Should you want to lengthen a sample that had
previously been shortened (automatically), you should use the
Range function .
