CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 237
Understanding the basics
To get started with Audio Editor, you can either open an existing audio file or
record sound from an external device such as an audio CD, microphone or VCR.
Sound appears in an edit window as a waveform. This waveform represents the
various positive and negative peaks that a natural sound wave makes. If it is a
mono file (single channel), only one waveform is present, while stereo files (two
channels) have two waveforms representing the left and right channels
accordingly. Audio Editor displays sound in this manner to help you visualize the
contents of an audio file and make enhancing it easy.
