Setting Volume and Pan Envelopes
Each audio event can have its own volume and pan envelope. An
envelope indicates how the value of a parameter changes over time. For
example, you may want the volume of an audio event to rise slowly,
reach a plateau, then fade quickly. Or, you may want the pan to swing
wildly between right and left. The volume and pan envelopes let you do
these things, without changing the sample data.
Audio event envelopes appear non-destructively as a series of line
segments indicating the pan or volume value at each point in the event.
To Change an Event’s Time...
1. Right-click an audio event and choose Event Properties .
2. Enter a new starting time in either the Time box (MBT) or the
Sample box (samples since the start of the project).
3. Click OK.
The Audio view displays the event at the new starting time.
To Move the Anchor...
1. Click the anchor and drag the mouse right or left
OR
1. Right-click an audio event and choose Event Properties .
2. Enter the sample of the anchor in the Anchor Sample box
(samples since the start of the audio event).
3. Click OK.
When you drag the anchor, the event moves and the anchor remains
stationary in time. You cannot move the anchor outside of the event,
nor can you move the anchor such that the event would start before
the start of the project.
