ones to increase and decrease volume, to reverse the data, and to
perform equalization.
Audio processing commands can work on both whole and partial events.
For example, suppose you want to make certain words in a vocal passage
softer. You can select the portion of the audio event containing those
words, then apply the 3db Quieter command one or more times.
You should listen to the results of your work after each audio processing
command. If you donÕt like what you hear, you can use Edit-Undo to
restore your audio data to its previous state.
Many of the dialog boxes associated with Pro AudioÕs audio processing
and effects commands have two important features: Audition and
Presets.
The Audition button is used to audition the processed audio data. When
you click Audition, Pro Audio processes the Þrst few seconds of your
data, then plays it repeatedly until you click Stop. This helps you to get
an idea of whether the settings in the dialog box are producing the
desired effect.
The audition duration is three seconds by default. You can change this
value by choosing Options-Global, selecting the General tab and
changing Audition Commands for ( ) Seconds.
Presets are a way to store dialog box settings so that you can apply the
exact same processing or effect again in the future. The following table
tells you how to use presets in the effects dialog boxes.
Many audio processing and effects presets are supplied with Pro Audio.
For a list, see Appendix F: Presets.
