Audio Tool

Audio Tool is a basic sound recording and playback
tool.  Sound data is depicted graphically as
segments of sound and silence.  Sound segments are
represented as an empty box and silence is
represented as a line.  If Silence Detection is
disabled (or if the audio sample rate is greater
than 8kHz), the entire sound file is represented
as a single empty box.

The Rev, Play, Fwd, and Rec buttons control play,
record, rewind, and fast forward functions.  They
behave much like ordinary tape recorder controls.

The File menu allows loading and saving of audio
files.  The Edit menu invokes editing operations
that affect the current selection.  The Volume
menu brings up panels that control audio device
parameters.

More HELP is available for individual controls.

#
:config-Autoplay_set:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
If this option is selected, Audio Tool will begin
playing a file as soon as it is loaded.

#
:config-AutoSelect_set:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
If this option is selected, Audio Tool will begin
playing the selected audio region immediately
after a selection is made.

#
:config-Confirm_clear_set:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
If this option is selected, pop-up confirmers will
be displayed before unsaved data is discarded
permanently (i.e., File->New... or File->Open...
operations, or drag'n'drop to the tool
drop-site).

Since the Edit->Clear operation is undoable, this
function does not require a confirmation.
#
:config-SilenceDetect_check:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
If this option is selected, the display of sound
and silence segments is enabled.

When Silence Detection is enabled, regions of
silence are displayed as horizontal lines and
regions of sound are displayed as boxes.  These
segments can be useful in locating particular
phrases or regions of voice data.

Silence detection requires extra time to
calculate, and can be disabled if this overhead is
undesirable.  When Silence Detection is disabled,
the entire file is represented as a single box.

Note that silence detection is always disabled
when the audio data is sampled faster than 8 khz.
#
:config-SilenceDetect_slider:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
The Silence Threshold slider controls the silence
threshold -- adjust the threshold to control the
amount of time that silence must persist before a
silence segment is displayed.

Drag the slider to the left to increase the
sensitivity to short pauses. (This should increase
the number of sound and silence segments.)

Drag the slider to the right to decrease the
sensitivity. (This should decrease the number of
segments.)

To disable silence detection entirely, clear the
Silence Detection checkbox.

Please see the help for Silence Detection.
#
:config-tempdir:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
The Temp file directory specifies a location in

:fc_exten-format_menu:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
The Format selector allows you to specify the
audio data format to be used in saving the data.
This may be used to rewrite a file in a different
format.  Note that the Save operation will take
somewhat longer when a data format transformation
is specified.

Select "Current Format" to store the data without
changing its format.  Select "New Format..." to
bring up the Audio Format configuration panel.

The File Size displayed below indicates the amount
of storage required to save the current file using
the specified audio format and compression.
#
:fc_exten-compress_menu:$OPENWINHOME/bin/helpopen handbooks/audio.handbook
The Compress selector allows you to choose an
audio compression method to be used in saving the
data.  When data is stored using a compressed data
format, there will be some loss of sound quality.
Note that the Save operation will take somewhat
longer when a data compression is specified.

The Compression options are:

None:
    Store the data in the format specified in
    the Format field.

4-bit G.721 ADPCM:
    Store the data using the CCITT 4-bit ADPCM
    compression algorithm.

3-bit G.723 ADPCM:
    Store the data using the CCITT 3-bit ADPCM
    compression algorithm.  This compression is
    usually acceptable for voice data, but may
    introduce distortion in music.

File Size is updated to indicate the amount of
storage required to save the current file using
