View layered or uniquely colored waveform channels
For stereo and 5.1 surround files, you can view layered or uniquely colored channels. Layered channels better reveal
overall volume changes. Uniquely colored channels help you visually distinguish them.

frequencies. Wider functions include more surrounding frequencies but more precisely reflect center frequencies.
The Hamming and Blackman options provide excellent overall results.

frequency accuracy increases, but time accuracy decreases. Experiment to find the right balance for your audio
content. Highly percussive audio, for example, may be better reflected by low resolution.
To adjust resolution directly in the Editor panel, right-click the vertical ruler next to the spectral display, and
choose Increase or Decrease Spectral Resolution.
