Audio information is displayed on the left-hand side of the interface. The
Audio player is on the right-hand side. The maximum length of an audio
element file, which contains 16-audio channels, is 30 seconds. The Maestro
Visualization Tool will accept and convert the following audio file formats:
• Windows Audio format (.WAV)
• Broadcast WAV format (.WAV): supporting up to 16- discrete audio
channels
Channel Branding Audio Voice Over clips are played using 48-KHz sam-
pling with 16-bits per sample per channel (this is commonly called CD
quality). Any audio elements created outside of Maestro that are using
more that 16-bits per sample will be rounded to 16-bits per sample for
storage and playout.
