AUDIO EDITOR: CHAPTER TWO

mixing levels at 100%) pastes the inverted waveform into the file. As it is
now the opposite of the original file, it negates the manager's voice and, as
a result, removes it from the file.
Note: You cannot remove a file from a mix using the Invert method if you have
already applied other effects to the mixed file. This is because any effects you apply
alter or shift each point in the waveform, and the inverse of the element you want to
remove will no longer match properly to the original.
Applying special effects
Audio Editor comes with a number of special affects that you can use to
add impact to your audio files and provide enhancements which are
difficult to replicate when recording from the original source. These can
be anything from performing fades to the beginning and ending of a
waveform to adding a variety of echo effects, such as stadium and
resonance.
Performing a fade
Performing fades is a frequent task in audio editing as you often need to
control how sound enters and leaves a certain scene or moment. This is
particularly useful if you want to give your audio a smooth or "rolling"
start and finish. To perform a fade, click Effect: Fade to open the Fade
dialog box. A Fade graph allows you to control how the fade is performed,
offering a set of predefined fades or customizable settings.
