Managing Audio Data - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

waveform can occur if you record a signal at too high a record level, or if
you apply audio processing or effects that increase the waveform
amplitude too much. If you accidentally cause the waveform to clip, you
should undo the command and try again with different parameters.
Clipping can also occur in other situations, for example, if you try to play
or mix several loud audio tracks together, the aggregate signal strength
may at times exceed the clipping limit, and the output signal will be
distorted. To correct the problem, you can reduce the velocity parameter
of loud audio events or reduce the track volume in the Console view.

Managing Audio Data

Because of the great size of audio events, Pro Audio uses an intelligent
scheme for storing audio events on disk to conserve disk space and
minimize the time it takes to load and save data. Audio data is not
stored directly in your project Þle, but rather in separate Þles in a
special directory. For more information, see ÒDigital Audio Data
ManagementÓ on page 13-13.
You can also export your projectÕs MIDI and audio data in RealAudio
format; see ÒPreparing Audio for DistributionÓ on page 9-29 for more
information.
