Overview Calculation
In addition to the actual audio data, an audio file also contains data required for
graphical display of the waveform in the Audio window and Sample Editor (“Overview”
data).
Automatic Overview Calculation
If the Audio > Audio Setting > General > Create Overview after Recording option is
switched on, graphic overviews are automatically calculated immediately after audio
recording.
If you switch off this option, overviews are not calculated automatically, but can be
started manually.
