how long the process takes. Select the setting that
matches the type of song or material you are working
with.

To Point
This specifies the ending time location that will result
from the compression or expansion.
Amplitude
This specifies the volume level that will result from the
compression as a percentage of the original source (50,
60, 70, 80, 90, 100%). The default value of 60% is
recommended. If the volume level after conversion is too
low, use the Undo function to return to its original state,
increase the Amplitude setting, and try the operation
again. Excessively high Amplitude settings can
introduce distortion in the audio.
