Additional Toolbar

Additional Toolbar consists of 7 buttons:

In the table below you will find the description of each button:

Button Name Description

Amplify Increase

Increases the volume of an audio file or selection.

Amplify Decrease

Decreases the volume of an audio file or selection.

Silence

This function generates silence (entered in seconds) from the current playback cursor position, pushing any following audio back in time, and thereby lengthening the duration of the audio file. Silence will replace any selected area.

Fade In

This function amplifies the end of a selection. To set the necessary value of Final Amplification open View/Show/Hide Effect Panel/Amplitude/Fade

Adjust the slider(s) for the amount of amplification or attenuation you want to apply. To achieve a fading in effect, choose a Final Amplification greater than that of your Initial Amplification. For fade outs, do the opposite by setting the Final Amplification to the lesser value. Setting both the initial and final amplifications to the same value results in a constant amplification. The signal remains unchanged whenever an amplification value of 100% or 0dB is selected.

Fade Out

This function amplifies the beginning of a selection. To set the necessary value of Initial Amplification open View/Show/Hide Effect Panel/Amplitude/Fade

Adjust the slider(s) for the amount of amplification or attenuation that you want to apply. Adjust the Final Amplification to fade the selection in or out. The signal will remain unchanged whenever an amplification value of 100% or 0dB is selected.

Invert

This function simply inverts the samples, so that all positive offsets are negative and all negative offsets are positive. Inverting does not produce an audible effect, but it can be useful in lining up amplitude curves when creating loops, or pasting. On stereo waveforms, both channels are inverted.

Normalize

Amplifies the highlighted selection to within the specified percentage of the maximum level. Use Normalization to achieve the greatest amount of amplification that will not result in clipping (when set to 0dB or 100%).

Use the Normalize function if you are recording a script in which you want to normalize an audio file to a specific percentage of maximum.
