Capture 7.3
Key Commands
Many operations in Capture have associated key commands (keyboard
shortcuts) that can be used instead of navigating menus with the mouse.
Several of these key commands use modifier keys, some of which differ
depending on the operating system (Windows or Mac OS X).
When discussed in this manual, key commands with modifier
keys are shown with the Windows modifier key first, as
follows: [Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]+[key].
For example, [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[C] means "press [Ctrl]+C in
Windows, or press [Cmd]+C in Mac OS X. "
Where there is no difference between the Windows and Mac version of a key
command, only one key command will be displayed; for example: [F3].
Menu Functions
Many functions can be reached via hierarchical menus. Where
menu navigation is referenced in this manual section, it will
appear as follows: Menu/Menu Entry/.../Function.
Non-Destructive Editing and Undo/Redo
Almost every user action in Capture can be undone and redone.
There is no limit to how far back actions can be undone and
how far forward undone actions can be redone.
Thus, Capture users can feel free to explore without fearing they will permanently
alter anything. In fact, just pressing buttons might be the quickest way to learn.
High Quality Audio
Capture features a new 32-bit floating-point audio engine. An audio
engine is the "number cruncher" that does the math required to record
and play back digital audio. To put it simply, Capture will process your
audio as accurately as current technology allows and maintains the
highest quality possible. All you have to do is make great music!
7.3.2 Start Page
When Capture is launched, by default you will be taken to the Start Page.
Create and Open Session
At the upper left of the Start Page are two buttons: Create Session and
Open Session. A Session is a document in which you can record and edit
audio. Click on the Create Session button to create a new Session or click
on the Open Session button to browse for and open an existing Session.
Recent Files
To the right of the Start Page menu section, the Recent Files
list includes links to the most recently opened documents.
Click on any of these links to quickly open the Session.
