Save dialogue
In the save dialogue it is possible to specify which of the files you want to save and their
names. When finished, select “Save” and the files will be written to disk. Note that files
can not be overwritten, so filenames that do not exist yet must be chosen. If unsure
whether the file already exists simply try to save it. If another file with this name exists
the dialogue will return and you can choose another filename

Scale
The values in the waveform are scaled according to the settings of the peak meter. These
can be altered in the peak meter settings, see section
7.5
(page
49
). If extreme minimum
or maximum values are set the waveform might be cut off. A minimum setting of -60 dB
and a maximum setting of 0 dB are recommended. These settings should be capable of
producing useful waveforms for very soft sounds in logarithmic mode (dB). When the
editor is used on loud sounds (such as commercial rock or pop music) switching to the
linear scale may prove more effective since the logarithmic scale compresses loud noises
and makes it more difficult to identify characteristic shapes. Note that it is always
possible to toggle between the two scale modes.
