User Interface
Sound Rescue
TerraTec Edition 2.1
has an intuitive interface. Its features are clearly arranged
and truly easy to use and, at the same time, it offers powerful functionality. The upper half of
the window contains the areas for the
DeScratcher
,
Analyzer
and
DeNoiser
features, and be-
low these is a strip with other adjustment options for sound optimization. Below this is the
Playback area
, which displays the actual audio material in the
Waveform window
as well as
control buttons for other program functions.
