ple or Write Slice dialog box (depending on the page you are in),
and do the following:
• Write Sample: Saves the sample to the internal memory. See
"Write Sample dialog box" on page 243, for more information.

Normalize
Select this command to automatically rescale the level of the
selected sample. Peaks will be raised to -0dB (i.e., maximum vol-
ume before clipping), while the remaining parts of the sample
will be proportionally raised.
Normalization optimizes the sample's level relative to other sam-
ples, making all samples sound more uniformly. It also helps
optimizing signal/noise ratio, by preventing further stages of
amplification from increasing any residual noise.
Cut
Select this command to cut the selected part of the sample
(inside the "Start" and "End" points).
Trim/Crop
Select this command to cut all parts of the sample out of the
selected range (i.e., out of the "Start" and "End" points).
