Chapter 2:
Sonoma Editor
The Sonoma editor window has a title bar labeled “Sonoma.” It contains menus and toolbars that you
will use to create, save, record, and edit multi-channel audio documents called edit decision lists or
EDLs. Each EDL is a separate document and is displayed in its own window within the Sonoma
editor window. You can open many EDLs at the same time, but all commands apply only to the
topmost, active EDL. The title bar of the Sonoma window also displays the name of the currently
active EDL document window. The main area of an EDL window contains a graphical representation
of edited excerpts of sound files arranged along a time axis. Strips above and below the EDL contain
cursor information and editing controls.
An EDL can hold up to 12 hours of sound. Each snippet of sound is called an
ingredient
. The
Nowline
is a vertical black cursor with a green handle; it represents the current position of the
playback head and serves as a locator for editing functions. A pair of red
edit cursors
, called
edit left
and
edit right
, are used for specifying an edit region. Marks in an EDL and its ingredients serve as
event locators and can include user annotations. EDL windows also contain a control panel area with
tabs that can be clicked to select different panels for performing various tasks. (The control panels are
not shown in the picture above.)
The Sonoma editor offers two different ways to perform audio edits. Selection, or object-based
editing, operates on selected ingredients. You begin by selecting one or more ingredients, and then
use edit commands to trim or slip them to the Nowline, or cut, copy and paste them. Region-based
editing ignores ingredient selection and uses the contiguous audio within the edit region - the interval
between the edit left and edit right cursors. Linear editing is an elaborate kind of region-based editing
where a single command moves material from the edit region in a source EDL to a different region in
a destination EDL.
This chapter describes the Sonoma and EDL windows, and explains how to use the cursors, menu
commands, and control panels to record, audition, edit, and prepare a Super Audio CD (SACD) edit
master file.
