Editing Audio - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

7 7
The Audio view lets you edit and arrange audio events. You can perform
basic tasks such as cut, copy, paste, and move; apply simple audio
processing such as volume change, fades, and equalization; and use
sophisticated audio effects such as stereo chorus and reverb. The Audio
view lets you see your audio events on a timeline, arranged by track, to
help you visualize the organization of your projectÕs audio data.
The Audio view is similar in appearance to the Clips pane of the Track
view, and many of the same selection and editing techniques apply. An
important difference is that the Track view shows audio clips, which may
contain one or more events, while the Audio view shows each event
individually.
Most of the audio processing commands and audio effects described in
this chapter can be used from the Track and Event List views as well, by
selecting one or more audio clips or events, then choosing the desired
command from the Edit-Audio or Edit-Audio Effects menu. Plug-in
effects can also be applied to audio data nondestructively, in real time, in
the Console view. For more information, see Chapter 9, Mixing and
Effects Patching.
