Working With Regions

Regions are the building blocks of your WaveBurner projects. Regions can include the
entire source audio file or any continuous section of an audio file. The edits you make
to a region do not change the source audio file, so you can always go back to the file’s
original state.

When you add an audio file to a project, a region is created from the file. The new
region appears in the Wave View area and in the Region list. Regions are displayed
chronologically in the Wave View area, from left to right. Regions are alternately
displayed in the upper or lower half of the Wave View area, making it easier to view any
overlapping areas between two regions. Regions are displayed in chronological order,
from top to bottom, in the Region list.

Once a region is added to your project, it will automatically be assigned a track start
marker, which contains the track number displayed by the CD player during playback.
This track start marker is mirrored by a newly created track that uses the new region,
and appears in the Track list.

You can edit regions in a variety of ways. You can copy, reorder, trim, and split regions,
adjust their volume level, normalize them, and add fade-ins, fade-outs, and crossfades.
