AUEDIT(1)							     AUEDIT(1)

NAME
       auedit - graphically record and edit audio files

SYNOPSIS
       auedit [-audio servername] [-toolkitoption ...] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       auedit  provides an X-based window-oriented interface allowing the user
       to record  and  edit  audio  files.   The  editing  features  available
       include:

       o   Cutting,  copying,  pasting,	 and  mixing  within  a	 single auedit
	   instance or between multiple auedit instances.

       o   Changing the amplitude of an interval.

       o   Reversing an interval.

       o   Fading in or out an interval.

AUEDIT AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET
       auedit uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena  Widget  Set.   For
       more information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation.

SCREEN LAYOUT
       auedit starts out with a single window divided into several areas:

       o   A collection of drop-down menus and command buttons.

       o   A volume indicator and control slider.

       o   The	audio file represented as a wave form.	If the audio data con‐
	   tains multiple tracks, the tracks will be  displayed	 in  ascending
	   order.   For	 stereo data, the convention is left track, then right
	   track.

       o   A set of indicators displaying the interval	start,	duration,  and
	   end	and  the  current  position.  These indicators are in units of
	   minutes, seconds, and hundredths of seconds.

       o   Buttons to play, stop, and pause the audio.

       o   Two menus indicating the current file and data formats.

       o   Two editable fields containing the current frequency and the	 audio
	   file comment.

INTERVALS
       Many  functions	in  auedit  operate on a range of audio data called an
       interval.  The initial interval encompasses all of the audio data.  The
       interval	 is  indicated	within	the  wave  form by two solid, vertical
       lines.  The left marker indicates the start of the interval.  The right
       marker  indicates  the  end  of the interval.  To select an interval of
       audio data, use the mouse to move the  interval	markers	 in  the  wave
       form.   Pressing a mouse button in the wave form will select the marker
       closest to the mouse position.  That marker may then be dragged to  the
       desired location in the wave form.  Note that the markers may not cross
       over each other.

PLAYING AN INTERVAL
       To play an interval, click on the Play button (the one with the	trian‐
       gle  on its side).  The audio data delimited by the start and end mark‐
       ers will be played.  A dashed vertical line will indicate the  approxi‐
       mate  position  of  the	data currently being played.  To stop playing,
       click on the Stop button (the one containing a solid square).  Clicking
       on  Pause  (the	button	containing  two vertical, parallel lines) will
       pause the playing.  To resume, click on Pause again.  The volume slider
       controls	 the  play  volume.   The  interval is played at the frequency
       specified by the Frequency  field.   Note  that	while  data  is	 being
       played, most other functions are disabled.

THE FILE MENU
       New...		   Initializes auedit with an empty file.  You will be
			   prompted for the number of tracks for the new file.

       Load...		   Loads a file.  You will be prompted	for  the  file
			   name.

       Save		   Saves the current file.  A backup file will be cre‐
			   ated by appending a tilde (~) to the	 current  file
			   name.   The file format, data format, frequency and
			   comment are used when saving the file.

       Save as...	   Saves the current file under a new name.  You  will
			   be  prompted	 for  the file name.  The file format,
			   data format, frequency and comment  are  used  when
			   saving the file.

       Save interval...	   Saves the interval to a file.  You will be prompted
			   for a file name.  The  file	format,	 data  format,
			   frequency  and  comment  are	 used  when saving the
			   file.

       Revert		   Discards all changes made since the last  save  and
			   restores  the  data to its state following the last
			   save.

       Exit		   Exits auedit.  If there have been changes  made  to
			   the current file that have not been saved, you will
			   be asked if you wish to save them.

THE EDIT MENU
       The cut, copy, and paste commands in the edit menu transfer data to and
       from  a	selection buffer.  This buffer is shared between all instances
       of auedit.  This means that you can cut or copy data from one  instance
       of  auedit and paste it into another instance.  The only restriction is
       that the audio data in both instances must  have	 the  same  number  of
       tracks.	When transferring data between instances of differing frequen‐
       cies, the data will be converted to the frequency of  the  destination.
       This  can  be  used  to	change	the  frequency of the data in a single
       instance of auedit.  First, cut the data whose frequency	 you  wish  to
       change.	 Then  change  the  Frequency  field to the desired frequency.
       Finally, paste the data back in.	 The frequency of  the	data  will  be
       converted to the frequency specified in the Frequency field.

       Cut		   Moves the interval to the selection buffer.

       Copy		   Copies the interval to the selection buffer.

       Paste insert	   Inserts the selection buffer at the point marked by
			   the start marker.

       Paste replace	   Replaces the data at the point marked by the	 start
			   marker with the data from the selection buffer.

       Paste mix	   Mixes  the  data  at	 the point marked by the start
			   marker with the data	 from  the  selection  buffer.
			   The mixing function is an average.

       Undo		   Undoes  the	last operation that modified the audio
			   data.  This includes effects operations in addition
			   to  editing	operations.  If the last operation was
			   an Undo then the undo is undone, restoring the data
			   to the state prior to the first undo.

THE ZOOM MENU
       In		   Zoom in by a factor of two.

       Out		   Zoom out by a factor of two.

       Markers		   Zoom	 in to the interval delimited by the start and
			   end markers.

       Full		   Zoom out to display all of the audio data.

THE EFFECTS MENU
       All operations under the effects menu apply to the current interval.

       Amplitude...	   Scale the amplitude.	 You will be prompted for  the
			   scale.  The scale may be non-integral.

       Max Amplitude	   Scales  the interval to its maximum amplitude with‐
			   out clipping.

       Reverse		   Reverses the order of the data within the interval.

       Fade In		   Linearly scales the interval using a scale  ranging
			   from 0.0 to 1.0.

       Fade Out		   Linearly  scales the interval using a scale ranging
			   from 1.0 to 0.0.

THE RECORD COMMAND
       Clicking on the Record button brings up the  record  dialog  box.   The
       record dialog box consists of:

       o   A duration field.  This is the maximum duration of the recording in
	   seconds.

       o   A frequency field.  This is	the  frequency	of  the	 recording  in
	   hertz.

       o   An  input mode toggle button.  Clicking this button toggles between
	   line mode and microphone mode.

       o   A gain slider.  This controls the input gain level.

       o   A record toggle button.  Clicking this button starts and stops  the
	   recording.

       o   A  monitor  toggle button.  Clicking this button toggles the record
	   monitoring feature that lets you hear what you're recording.

       o   A dismiss command button.  Clicking this button stops  any  current
	   recording and dismisses the record dialog box.
