Caching
At zoom levels higher than 6, the audio data is not drawn from the audio disks but is
displayed using a cache of lower resolution data. This cache data is kept on the R-1 Pilot
and
not
on the audio disks. Moving an audio disk to a new system (with a different Pi-
lot) requires recalculating the waveforms. Initial calculation of the waveform data is
done as soon as you press the
Stop
button after record.
Although it may take some time for the R-1 to process the audio to create the wave-
forms, it is done in the background while you continue to work. However, the wave-
form calculation does not progress while the Transport is active. The entire disk
throughput is dedicated to play and record reliably—waveform calculation is only al-
lowed to be active during Transport idle time. The R-1 also attempts to calculate wave-
forms where you are working first. Only waveforms in the currently open Title are
calculated.
While the waveforms are still being calculated, a single zero level green line is shown
inside the Clip. Clips (full-scale points in the waveform) are shown with a red highlight
on the edge of the waveform.
Figure 2-3
Fades Display
Fades are shown by a very light blue line which superimposes over the darker blue
waveform or block (a selected Clip has these colors inverted). The figure above shows
the block display mode on all Clips. The only Clip with waveforms visible is the Clip
currently under the trackball cursor—this
pointed to
clip always shows waveforms and
the sound file name.
