Displaying Information about Audio Files
Information on every currently loaded audio file can be displayed, from left to right, in
the Region waveform display, as follows:
Sample rate (Hz), Bit Depth (Bit), Mono, or Stereo status (Cha), file size (kByte) and file
path or folder (Location). Mono files are identified by a single circle symbol, and stereo
files by a double circle symbol.
You can switch this display on or off by selecting View > Show File Info.
Show Files in Finder
The Audio File menu contains a Show Files in Finder option that, as the name suggests,
will open (and top) a Finder window that displays the file location.
