| Wave view |
Choose a mode for viewing data: Wave view or Spectral view. Wave view displays audio data in the familiar green-on-black sound wave format, where x-axis (vertical) represents amplitude and y-axis (horizontal) represents time. |
Spectral view |
Choose a mode for viewing data: Wave view or Spectral View. Spectral view displays a waveform by its frequency components, where x-axis is frequency, and y-axis is time. This allows you to analyze your audio data to see which frequencies are most prevalent. |
Zoom In |
Zoom in on the center of the current waveform or session. |
Zoom Out |
Zoom out from the current location. |
Full Zoom |
Zoom all the way out to fit the entire audio file in the display window. |
Zoom to left of selected |
Zoom in on the left edge of the current selection. |
Zoom to right of selected |
Zoom in on the right edge of the current selection. |
Horizontal Scale Format |
Choose between several Horizontal scale Formats, including Decimal and Samples. |
Vertical Scale Format |
Choose between several Vertical Scale Formats, including Sample Values, Normalized Values, Decibel Values. |

Action |
Play |
Start playback of the current selection, or of the current audio file from either the left side of the selection, or from the beginning of the file, to either the right side of the selection or to the end of the file. |

Pause playback. |
Record |
Start recording. |

| Delay presets |

| Reverse |
Cause a selection to play backwards by reversing the order of its samples. Useful for creating special effects. |
| Stretch |
Change the pitch (frequency) and tempo (duration) of the audio signal. It can also change either pitch or tempo without affecting the other. For example, you can use Stretch to transpose a song to a higher key, or to slow a passage down without changing the pitch. Pitch and tempo can also be varied over the length of the audio, giving the effect of slowing down and speeding up, or raising and lowering pitch. |
| Invert |
Use it to invert 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. |
Silence |
Generate 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. |
