Sound Object Properties

Sound object properties can be edited in the more extensive dialog or in the table:

Right-click a sound object and select Properties.

Sample Peak Level specifies the peak level in the original file. Click on to search for the object peak level. See also Adjusting the volume.
Under Render properties you can enable Loop, if the audio is to be played in a loop. Please note that the entire audio file is always repeated. If necessary, create a short, loopable audio file by cutting and exporting. See also Asynchronous audio playback.
In field Comment you can enter any designation to become visible in the object info line.
Under Speed factor / pitch factor you can define playing speed and pitch independently. After placing a checkmark next to Enable settings, the following settings are possible:
Pitch factor = speed factor ...placing a checkmark there will change both factors together. An increase in speed will have an effect on the pitch and may cause the "Mickey Mouse" effect.
Speed factor ...changes the playing speed and the possible object length. E.g. a factor of 0.5 causes a reduction in speed by half and allows double the object length. The beat is also reduced by half. A factor of 2, in contrast, results in double the speed; a factor of 1 stands for the original speed.
Pitch factor ...affects pitch and timbre. A factor of 0.5 reduces the pitch exactly by one octave, which corresponds to the audio frequencies being reduced by half. A factor of 2 increases the pitch exactly by one octave, which corresponds to a doubling of the audio frequencies; factor 1 corresponds to the original pitch.

Important: As time stretching at high quality requires a lot of computer capacity, playback in real time is only at prelistening quality. To maintain optimum quality and save computer power, you should export the object after editing as a new file. See also Changing playing speed and pitch.

Button Default settings allows resetting of speed and pitch.
The volume of the corresponding object can be altered by means of the slider control. See also How to use slider controls.

Highlight the corresponding sound object and the tabs with the parameters will be displayed in the Properties Table.

Please choose the tab you need information for:
