Apply Ambient Noise

The Apply Ambient Noise command applies the ambient noise stored in the ambient
noise buffer to the audio file or selection.

To apply ambient noise to an audio file:

1

In the waveform display, select the part of the audio file to which you want to apply the
ambient noise.

2

Choose Process > Apply Ambient Noise.

The ambient noise replaces the selected part of the file. If the selection is longer than
the copied ambient noise, the ambient noise repeats to fill the selection.

Convert to Mono

Choosing this command converts a stereo audio file to mono. You can choose whether
to convert the file to mono by using only the left channel, using only the right channel,
or combining the two channels. Combining the left and right channels sums them as
an equal gain mix.

To select how a stereo file is converted to mono:

1

Choose Process > Convert to Mono.

2

In the Convert to Mono dialog, select the button corresponding to the method by
which you want to convert the file to mono.

3

Click OK.

The Convert to Mono action converts the entire stereo file to mono. You cannot
convert only a selection of a file to mono. The Convert to Mono action flattens the file,
removing existing actions from the Actions list. For information about flattening
actions, see “

Flattening Actions

” on page 174.

Resample

Choosing this command resamples the audio file to a new sample rate.

To choose the new sample rate:

1

Choose Process > Resample.

2

In the Resample sheet, choose a sample rate from the Sample Rate pop-up menu. You
can also type a sample rate (in Hertz) in the Sample Rate field.

3

Click OK.

The Resample action flattens the file, removing existing actions from the Actions list.
For information about flattening actions, see “

Flattening Actions

” on page 174.
