Process Section

The Process section gives you various editing options for the selected

sample.

In the software, click the desired sample editing option (described

below). A new window will open (which may have some additional

parameters). To execute a selected option, click Do It, or cancel your

changes by clicking Cancel.

Tips:

• When the new window is open, you can click the Function field to

select another edit option, if desired.

• All Start/End processes will only affect the part of the sample between the start point and the end

point. Bit Reduce and Stereo > Mono will affect the entire sample regardless of its start point or end

point.

The following sample editing options are available:

• Discard deletes parts of the sample before the start point and after the end point.

• Delete deletes the part of the sample between the start point and end point and closes the gap

between them.

• Silence replaces the part of the sample between the start point and end point with silence.

• Extract deletes parts of the sample before the start point and after the end point and saves it as a

new sample (with a name you enter) in your current Project.

Tip: This is useful if you recorded a drum loop and wanted to remove just a snare drum hit, a kick

drum hit, etc. to use separately in the Project.

• Normalize increases a sample's level to the highest level possible without distortion. This is

essentially a kind of digital gain optimization, so you do not have to worry about excessive level

settings when working with Projects whose samples have a wide range of amplitudes.

• Reverse reverses the part of the sample between the start point and end point.

• Fade In sets a fade-in between the start point and end point of the sample. The following types are

available:

o Linear fades the audio in with a linear curve—a straight line between the start and end.
