AUDIO EDITOR: CHAPTER ONE
309
The sampling rate determines how many portions (samples) of audio
data appear each second and is measured in the thousands. The more
samples a file contains the better the audio reproduction; the down side
is increased file size.
3.
Select the number of channels to use from the Channels group box.
The number of channels in an audio file refers to whether the file is
mono or stereo. Stereo provides for better sound but is twice the file
size of mono.
4.
Select the sample size you want to use from the Sample size group
box.
The sample size specifies how much memory is allocated to store the
audio data. In most cases 8-bit files produce adequate results without
sacrificing too much in quality. If you want the best possible file then
choose 16-bit. This does, however, result in a file twice the size of an
8-bit file.
Saving files
Once you have recorded or made changes to a waveform you need to
save it. To do this, click File: Save or Save As
[
CTRL
+
S
]
. For previously
saved files, clicking Save instantly overwrites the existing file with the
new data. Save As opens the Save Audio File dialog box where you can
specify a new name and/or destination. The Save Audio File dialog box
also allows you to append subject and description information as well as
assign a thumbnail image to use as a visual representation of the file in any
preview enabled dialog box or browser.
Note:
If the saved audio file is included as a track in a Video Editor project, the
track is automatically updated.
Saving files to a video
Apart from saving audio as a wave file, you can also save it as an audio
track to an existing AVI or MOV file. If the file contains an original audio
track the track is overwritten with the new data. (If the waveform is
longer in duration than the video it is truncated to the video length.)
