About editing audio
When you open an audio file in Edit View, you see the waveform display, a visual represen-
tation of the sound wave, or waveform. If you open a stereo file, the waveform for the left
channel appears at the top and the waveform for the right channel appears at the bottom.
If you open a mono file, the waveform utilizes the total height of the waveform display. The
peaks and valleys in the waveform represent positive and negative air pressure. Quiet
audio has both lower peaks and lower valleys than loud audio.
For background information on working with digital audio, see “Sound fundamentals”
on page 267.
