Audio settings

The audio settings help to adjust the speed of the audio, select left, right, or both channels, and so on.

The audio settings display in the Navigator window when an audio clip is selected from the Scene browser. It is divided into two areas:

A. Audio properties area B. Audio waveform area

The audio settings are also appear in the Resources window > Properties tab.

From the Audio Settings in the Navigator window, click:

• Play — to hear audio content
• Stop — to end the audio

The following table explains the audio settings in the Resources > Properties tab.

Setting	Description
Path	Shows the location of the selected audio file.
Destination	Lets you choose the audio device that is selected as the default device on your computer.
Src In Point	The count of audio samples recorded in the source audio sequence, and the starting frame of the audio file. This information is stored as a time stamp, only in the BWAV header files and not in the WAV files.
Src End Point	The last frame of the source audio file.
Src Duration	The total number of frames included in the source audio file. NoteThe Src In Point, Src End Point, and Src Duration are the existed parameters when the source audio files was recorded. So you cannot alter the data in these fields.
Dst In	The frame from which the audio plays in the selected destination (output device such as speakers).
Dst End	The last frame of the audio file.
Dst Duration	The total duration of the audio file. NoteAlter the Dst In, Dst End, and Dst Duration values to specify the start and end time to play the audio file.
Scrubbing (Enable Shuttle)	Enables the shuttle mode. You can shuttle the audio, back and forth, between the start and end frames in the time line. To shuttle the audio, back and forth, press J and the left mouse button simultaneously and move the mouse to the left or right on the Timeline. This option helps to hear the audio by increasing and decreasing the speed without manually changing the value of Speed.
Type (Bits)	Specifies the number of bits of information recorded for each audio sample. The depth of bit (8, 16, or 24) directly corresponds to the resolution and quality of an audio sample.
Rate (Hz)	Specifies the audio sample count per second. NoteType and Rate values are part of the header information of the audio file.
Channels	Shows you whether the audio clip is stereo or mono. There are two settings: 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo).
Use Channel	The Left or Right (mono) and Left+Right (dual) channels are supported. If you select only the Right or Left channel, then the graphical representation of the unselected channel appears faded in the Navigator window.
Access Mode (Media Access)	Specifies from which location to pick and play the audio file. You can choose Disk or Memory as the location to pick the audio file.
Take	Lets you assign an audio file to a particular scene take.
Constrain Dst to Take	Restricts from modifying the Dst In value. NoteTurning on this option, automatically turns on the Lock Speed option.
Relative Path	The location of the audio file.
Speed	The velocity at which sound travels in a given medium under specified conditions. Increase or decrease the audio speed according to the slow or fast movements in your animation scene. Using this option, you can adjust the audio speed from 0.01 to 10. This means, you can play the audio 100 times slower or 10 times faster than the original speed (1.0).

To get the relative path of the audio file:

1. From the File menu, select Save As.

   The Save As window appears.

2. Specify a name for the file, and click Save.

   The path where you saved the file with audio content appears in the Relative Path field. You can use the relative path, later, to open the file with the audio content.
