Getting to Know the Sample Editor’s Digital Factory
The Sample Editor has a number of audio processing tools, collectively known as the
Digital Factory .
The Digital Factory tools can be accessed through the Factory menu, which contains four
machine menu items in the upper part and three other items that are functions in the
lower part. When you choose a machine menu item, a window appears with tabs for the
four machines, and when you choose one of the three functions, a smaller window appears
with tabs for the three functions.
Machines Functions
Because each tool has its own tab, you can easily switch between machines or functions
by clicking the corresponding tab.
The Digital Factory tools have a number of common aspects, as follows:
• Digital Factory processes affect only the selected area of an audio file. The selected
area of the audio file is replaced with the processed audio material.
• You can play the audio file while a Factory process is taking place—which slightly slows
down processing. A progress bar is displayed during processing.
