cannot be moved horizontally, i .e . against time . Left-click again
to confirm the position of the point .
• Positioning by means of the level slider
After clicking on Position, the active point can be moved
horizontally to the desired time position . Use the level slider to
select the volume at the desired point in time . When you drag
the Level slider to the right, the volume will be increased . Drag
it to the left to reduce it .
• Positioning against the video background
To determine the position of a point according to its location
within the video, click on Range . The start position can be
determined either by Position or by stepping through individual
frames . Click on the right-hand trackball button to adopt the
selected setting . Use the level slider to select the volume at
the desired point in time . Follow the same procedure with the
remaining points in the volume display until the desired result
is achieved . Then create the result .
(c) Using the Add button, insert an editing point after the cur-
rently selected (green) point in the volume display . Note that
a point cannot be inserted between two points located very
close to each other .
(d) Use the Remove button to delete the selected editing point
from the volume display .
(e) The Range button can be used to group several adjacent
editing points to form a range, i .e . a common group:
• Mark the outer left-hand (first) point of the desired range by
left-clicking it or by stepping through individual frames .
• Click on Range
• Mark the outer right-hand (last) point of the desired range by
left-clicking it . All points within the marked range also change
to green and are thus marked as active . The following func-
tions can now be used on this range:
• Increase or reduce the volume level for the entire range. Use
the Level slider for this purpose .
• Move the position. Use either the Position slider, or select
the position by means of Range .
• Delete all points in the selected range. Click on Remove in
this case . Click in the scrollbar beneath the volume display or
on any point to terminate selection of the range .
(f) The Level determines the volume of the active (green) edit-
ing point or of the selected range . The volume can be selected
in steps of 1 dB from -30 dB to +30 dB .
(g) Use Position to determine the position (in time) of a point or
a range in the volume display .
(h) Use the Create button to launch creation of the complete
audio sample shown in the volume display .
- the small box above the vertical slider . Click into the box until
you can see a checkmark . Now you can activate all desired ef-
fects one after the other . If the box contains horizontal stripes,
all effects will be selected . There is also an archive here, in
which you can store the previously selected effect combination
for later use in other sound recordings .
(15) Volume control by means of wave form
The Envelope (audio wave form) of an audio sample can be
edited directly with the Rubber Band function by means of the
Envelope button . First select the desired audio sample, after
which it is highlighted in blue . Then click on Envelope .
The wave form is the tool to use to increase or reduce the
volume of an audio segment within an audio sample, for
example in order to eliminate a loud unwanted noise . Click on
the desired audio sample to highlight it in blue, then select the
Envelope menu item .
(a) The volume of the selected audio sample is displayed as a
wave form at the top of the envelope window . Above it you will
see a representation of all sound tracks for a better overview .
(b) The volume of the selected audio sample can be increased
or reduced selectively in the volume display directly below
the wave form display by means of the rubber-band function .
In this case, first specify the editing points within the audio
sample at which the volume is to be increased or reduced .
Insert these points either by left-clicking in the volume display
close to the desired position, or by clicking on the Add button
below the volume display . Now activate one of the new points
either by clicking on it directly, or by selecting it with the aid of
the scrollbar and the function for stepping through individual
frames on the right-hand side below the volume display . The
color of the active point changes from red to green . The point
can then be positioned exactly as follows .
• Positioning in the volume display
Click on the activated (green) point again . It changes color
from green to blue . Drag the point horizontally to the desired
time position in the volume display . To increase or reduce
the volume, move the point upwards (louder) or downwards
(softer) . Note that the first and last points in the volume display
