5. Set the amplitude Threshold. Certain sound paths may take the
sound source very far away from the listener, resulting in little or no
resulting amplitude. The "Threshold" parameter specifies the maxi-
mum amplitude attenuation of the original sample that will ever
occur. By setting this parameter appropriately, you can ensure that
the resulting sample will produce at least a minimum amplitude
output at every point along the path. A setting of 0 dB would
prevent any amplitude changes whatsoever. A setting of -96dB
would not prevent the sound from completely fading away at some
points.
6. Press ENTER to continue. The Path Parameters screen (shown
below) will appear.
Duration:
Auto-repeat:
7. Select a shorter Path Duration if desired. The Path Duration
allows you to scale the path time so that it runs to completion in a
time shorter than the length of the sample. The default value is
always the length of the sample. If auto-repeat is off (see below), the
sound will remain at the end of the path until the sample is com-
plete.
8. Turn Auto-repeat On or Off as desired. Auto-repeat causes the
path to repeat if the end is reached before the sample has completely
played. Auto-repeat will only occur if path duration is set to a value
less than the sample length. The default setting for Auto-repeat is
Off.
9. Press ENTER to begin processing the sample. The display shows:

10. If you are not satisfied with the resulting Doppler/Pan or want
to compare before and after, proceed to Digital Processing, 9.
