Waveform Editing

Waveform Editing is for editing single audio files- .mp3, .wav, .aiff, etc. It is a form of Destructive Editing. When changes are made to the waveform file they also permanently alter the original file. Waveform Editing is useful for Fade In or Fade Out, Normalizing, and converting sound files from Stereo to Mono. Waveform Editing provides a visualization of the file's Sound Waves.
