Rainbow Waveform Settings Dialog

Allows you to customize the colors for specific frequencies:

• To add a color, right-click on the color bar, and select Create Color Handle Here.

• To modify the color gradient, click and drag a color handle.

• To edit the color of a color handle, right-click on the color handle, and select Edit Color, which opens the Color Selection window.

• To edit the frequency, right-click on a color handle, select Edit Frequency, and enter a numeric value for the frequency.

• To delete a color handle, right-click on it, and select Delete.

• To delete all color handles, right-click on the color bar, and select Remove All Color Handles.

• To choose from a selection of color maps and apply a color map to the color bar, right click on the color bar, and select Apply Color Map.

  Note

  With more than three color handles on the color bar, the color map is applied to the range between the second and the second-to-last handle. With two or three color handles, the color map is applied across all handles.

  The more color handles there are, the better the color map is rendered.

• To create multiple color handles with specific frequency-related properties in one go, right-click the color bar, and select Generate Color Handles. This allows you to choose from a menu listing options for equally distributed frequencies, female voice formants, and male voice formats.

  Note

  When you choose to generate color handles that are equally distributed across frequencies, if there are more than three existing color handles, new handles are created between the second and the second-to-last handle. This allows you to focus on the handles within a specific frequency range. With two or three existing handles, all handles are replaced.

  When you choose to generate formant handles, all existing color handles are replaced.

Allows you to choose from the following options:

• Average Frequency maps the colors based on the average frequency on the timeline.

• Dominant Frequency maps the colors to the most prominent frequency on the timeline.

  Note

  As the dominant frequencies are generally lower than the average frequencies, you may need to use different color schemes to inspect multiple spectral aspects of your audio material.

Applies frequency filtering before analyzing the audio.

It allows you to choose from multiple options to reduce low frequencies or high frequencies.

Example: To focus on transients, we recommend applying a filter that reduces low frequencies.

Allows you to display sections in your audio material with high dynamics in a specific color. You can choose the color via the color selector button on the left. The slider on the right serves to adjust the sensitivity: The further you move it to the right, the lower the threshold; that is, the more audio sections are taken into account.

• Audio Editor: Allows you to choose whether to edit settings and share them with all files (Edit Shared Settings) or to apply them to a particular file only (Edit Private Settings).

• Audio Montage window: Allows you to edit settings and share them with all files (Edit Shared Settings).

This enables you to adapt individual color schemes to different audio materials and editing purposes.

Allows you to save, organize, and load presets.
