Menu Command: Effect | Add Or Modify (with one audio section selected)
The Audio Effects Editor displays a list of active audio effects, a list of settings for the selected effect, and a graph for adjusting a setting over time. Use audio effects to:
Effects
Use the Add Effect [+*] button
to display a list of available effects. After selecting an effect, settings are listed.
Check or uncheck the effect to see how the audio sounds with or without the effect.
Effects are processed in the order they appear. Use the up/down buttons to change the order of effects.
Settings
After adding an effect, all settings for that effect are listed. Above the settings, preset settings
are provided in a drop-down list. You may select presets from the list and add new presets to the list.
See Audio Effects for details on effects.
All effects have an "Effect range" to control when then effect starts and finishes within the video. All times are file based. Time 0 is the beginning of the file and time 10.0, for example, is ten seconds into the file. If the section has been trimmed or it's To/From range has changed, the times are still based on the very beginning of the file, not the trimmed point at which playback starts. The Start and Finish times may be anchored relative to the section's From and To range.
Some effects have settings that can be either constant or variable. Choose the Var button next to a setting to allow it to vary over time. Click on the graph to change the setting at any time.
Point settings
Use these settings to change a point's time, curve, and anchor. The lines connecting points may have a linear shape
or a curved (spline) shape. Curved shapes smooth out changes from one point to the next, which may sound more natural.
The anchor determines how the point's position in time changes if the effect range changes either
directly or indirectly through section range changes (see Start and Finish anchors above).
Defaults
Sets the default curve and anchor to use for all new points.
f(x)
Displays the Graph Generator window where the shape of the graph can be set based on
mathematical functions.
Grid overlay
Displays a grid over the graph window.
Preview Buttons
Plays the audio or seeks backward or forward.
