MAS - VVE - Waveform View - Toolbar, Info, Overview & Detailed View

Window > Overview Puts focus on the top section of the Waveform View.

The Overview shows the entire recording. A white frame indicates the extent of the recording in the Detailed waveform view. Once zooming is applied to the view, you can drag the frame to move around the recording.

Window > Detailed Puts focus on the middle section of the Waveform View.

You can perform precise editing of audio data in the Detailed view. A white vertical bar indicates the current edit point. You can use the mouse or keyboard to select audio data in a similar way to selecting text in a word processor.

Waveform Toolbar

The Waveform Toolbar appears beneath the main toolbar at the top left of the Visual Voice Editor window.

View > Zoom In Zooms in on the waveform so that you can see more detail.

View > Zoom Out Zooms out on the waveform.

Waveform > Increase Amplitude Increases the audio volume by 10%. This can be done for either the entire prompt or just the selected range.

Waveform > Decrease Amplitude Decreases the audio volume by 10%. This can be done for the either the entire prompt or just the selected range.

Waveform > Overwrite Silence Overwrites the selected range with silence. This can be useful for removing background noise.

Waveform > Insert Silence Inserts silence equivalent to the selected range at the current edit point. This has the effect of adding a clean pause in the recording.

Waveform Info

The Waveform Info fields appear beneath the Waveform Toolbar at the top left of the Visual Voice Editor window. You can use these fields to guide you when selecting a section of a prompt to edit:

Current Position Displays the current edit position of the Detailed waveform selection, in seconds.

Selection Size Displays the current size of the Detailed waveform selection, in seconds.

Editing Tools & Commands

Edit > Undo This undoes the last editing action.

Note: This can be useful, if you wish to toggle an edit on or off, in order to see its effect.

Edit > Cut Cuts the selected section of the prompt and places it on the Windows Clipboard.

Visual Voice Editor then shifts the rest of the prompt back to fill in the gap, similar to deleting text in a word processor.

Edit > Trim Deletes all data except for the currently selected range. This is useful for eliminating leading or trailing silence at the beginning and end of a prompt.

Edit > Copy Copies the selected section of the prompt and places it on the Windows Clipboard.

Edit > Paste Pastes the data from the Windows Clipboard at the selected point in the selected prompt.

Data after that point is shifted to the right, similar to inserting text in a word processor.

Note: Visual Voice Editor prevents pasting data not intended for that view. You can only paste text into the Comment View and audio data into the Waveform View.

Edit > Select All Selects the entire prompt.
