The Gain Change process raises or lowers the volume of the
sample. You can adjust it up to 18 dB, higher or lower. This
function is different than Normalize because it will allow volumes
beyond clipping level. This may be a desired effect, but remember
to watch your output level!
The Copy process saves a copy of the sample.
Use the Edit Name field (and the virtual keyboard that appears)
to name the new sample. Otherwise, the process will add a
consecutive number after the sample name.
The Bit Reduce process lowers the bit resolution of a sample,
effectively reducing its degree of faithful reproduction. You can
reduce it down to 1 bit. (The sound is similar to the Resampler
effect, but Bit Reduce will permanently alter the sample.)
Tip: Use this on drum loops to get a dirty, "old-school" sizzle but with
a digital "edge."
Note: This process affects the entire sample regardless of its start
point or end point.
The Stereo -> Mono process converts a stereo sample to a new
mono sample and saves it as a new sample.
Use the Edit Name field (and the virtual keyboard that appears)
to name the new sample. Otherwise, the process will add a
consecutive number after the sample name.
The following options are available:
•
Left will convert the left channel only.
•
Right will convert the right channel only.
•
Sum will combine the left and right audio channels to a
single mono channel.
Note: This process affects the entire sample regardless of its start
point or end point.
