Apple WaveBurner 1.6 - Manual (Page 16)

• Gap To Previous Region field: The length of the gap between the start of the selected
region and the end of the previous region. Negative values refer to overlapping
regions—in other words, a given region starts before the previous region has ended.
• Trim Start and Trim End fields: These two values show the start and end points of the
selected region—relative to the start and end points of the audio file. If the region
spans the complete audio file, Trim Start and Trim End will display values of 0.
• Gain Left and Gain Right fields: These fields show the gain settings for the left and right
audio channels. Adjust by holding down the arrows on either side of the numerical
value, or click directly on the value and type in a new one.
• Region Peak Position and Level fields: Indicate the position—relative to the start of the
region, not the audio file—and level of the highest audio peak in the region. Any volume
changes made in WaveBurner (using the region’s volume envelope, for example) are
not taken into account.
Audio File Tab
The Audio File tab contains the following audio file parameters:
• Location field: Displays the full folder path and name of the selected file.
• Replace File button: Click to open a dialog. Browse to, and choose a file and click Open
(or Cancel, to exit the dialog).
• Show in Finder button: Click to open the Finder, showing the file.
• Information panel: Displays the following information: audio file type and format, file
size and length, bit depth and ordering, sample rate, peak position and level, and file
creation and modification dates.
Fades Tab
The Fades tab allows you to view and edit the Fade In and Fade Out parameters for the
selected region.
• Fade-In and Fade Out pop-up menus: Click to choose one of the following fade curve
types: No Fade, Free, S-Curve, and Concave/Convex.
• Set Linear button: Click to reset fade curves to linear (straight line).
• Length fields: Click to input the fade length.
• Shape fields: If a fade curve type other than Free is selected, Shape allows you to edit
the points of the fade curve. Low shape values result in a shallower curve. A value of
zero equals a straight line.
• Curve point x/y coordinates fields: Indicate the positions of fade curve envelope points
shown in the Wave View area. If the curve type is set to Free, you can edit the curve
point coordinates by clicking the value field arrows.
