9.2 Editing audio files

To edit an existing audio file please, follow the steps below:
·
Use Open... command from the File menu to open an existing file. Sound editor supports audio files in Wav and MP3
audio formats.
·
Use Play and Stop buttons or just click over the blue bar to navigate through the sound file. The yellow marker shows the
current position in file.
·
Use Mark button to set one of two red markers in the specified location.
Note: You can change the red and yellow markers position by dragging them with your mouse along the time scale. Drag the
marker somewhere outside the time scale to remove it.
Note: The playback always starts from the yellow marker and stops by the red marker. To resume the playback, click the Play
button again. This is specially made so to let you set the precise mark between the sound fragment you'd like to keep and the
one you wish to delete or overwrite.
·
If you would like to delete a piece of the recording, first place one of the red markers at the start of the fragment you'd
like to remove and then place the other red marker at the end. Press the Delete... button to remove the marked fragment
from the recording.
·
To insert an additional voice recording into the file at the specified position (where the single red marker is) use E-mail
headset "Microphone" (Hold down) and "Ear" (Click) buttons in the usual fashion.
Note: insertion is not allowed if both of the two red markers are in place.
·
There are three ways to insert the new recording into the existing file:
Insert at marker - inserts at current (red marker) position, the whole file gets bigger.
o
Overwrite - overwrites the file starting from the red marker.
o
Continue from marker - replaces the rest of the file from the current (red marker) position with the new
o
recording.
Please, choose the appropriate setting from the When recording combo box.
·
If you wish to save the amended audio file please, use Save and Save As... commands from the File menu. Using Save
As... you can also convert audio files from Wav to MP3 formats or vice versa if required.
Note: the E-mail headset buttons to start the new recording will work only if the Sound editor window is active, otherwise the
device buttons will not work with the Sound Editor.
Note: if the opened file was originally compressed to MP3 then it will be saved with the same MP3 encoder settings and quality
by either Save or Save As...
Note: Encoding Wav files to MP3 format is processed using Normal quality encoding or High quality encoding settings.
