Getting to Know the Sample Editor’s Digital Factory

The Sample Editor has a number of audio processing tools, collectively known as the Digital Factory .

The Digital Factory tools can be accessed through the Factory menu, which contains four machine menu items in the upper part and three other items that are functions in the lower part. When you choose a machine menu item, a window appears with tabs for the four machines, and when you choose one of the three functions, a smaller window appears with tabs for the three functions.

Because each tool has its own tab, you can easily switch between machines or functions by clicking the corresponding tab.

The Digital Factory tools have a number of common aspects, as follows:

• Digital Factory processes affect only the selected area of an audio file. The selected area of the audio file is replaced with the processed audio material.

• You can play the audio file while a Factory process is taking place—which slightly slows down processing. A progress bar is displayed during processing.
