Common Settings

This chapter contains a description of settings that are available in multiple parts of the software. For example, the Progress Bar options are available for both the progress bar in the playlist, the players, and the global progress bar object.

Time Formats

Time format strings (for elapsed and remaining time, ramp, etc.) can use the following variables:

  • hh - hour
  • nn - minute
  • ss - second
  • z - 1/10th of a second
  • zz - 1/100th of a second
  • zzz - milliseconds

These variables (with the exception of z and zz) correspond to those used by the Delphi FormatDateTime function.

An optional ! sign marks the boundary up to which the “Automatically truncate…” options will operate. The part after the ! sign will never be truncated. For example, the format hh:n!n:ss will display a duration of 3 seconds as 0:03.

Progress Bar

  • Enable progress bar: Uncheck to hide the progress bar.
  • Show ramp in progress bar: If enabled, the ramp part of the item will be displayed in a different color.
  • Split progress bar during ramp: If enabled, the progress bar will be split horizontally while the ramp part is playing, with the upper part representing the ramp.
  • Show only nearest ramp: If enabled, only the next ramp marker that is reached next from the current playback position will be displayed (for items that have more than one Ramp cue marker set).

Waveform

  • Enable waveform display: Toggles the display of the waveform in the player.
  • Live update: When enabled, cue markers will be updated immediately as they are dragged, not only when you release the mouse button.
  • Show current position as line: Toggles the display of the current playback position.
  • Show segment before current position using a different color: If enabled, a different dark-ish color is used for the elapsed part of the playback, so the waveform can be used as some kind of progress bar.
  • Show cue markers: If enabled, the set cue markers will be displayed as colored lines.
  • Show cue marker labels: Check this option to display the name of the cue markers next to the colored lines.
  • Show cue marker position: Check this option to display the position/value of the cue markers next to the colored lines.
  • Show fade envelope: If enabled, a graphical representation of the fade (after the Fade Out marker) will be displayed.
  • Show volume envelope: Enables display end editing of the volume envelope.
  • Show timeline: Enables dispaly of the timeline at bottom of the waveform.
  • Show scrollbar: Enables a horizontal scrollbar.
  • Mouse navigation: If enabled, the user can use the mouse to navigate through the waveform (mouse wheel to to zoom, click and hold to move around).
  • Allow seek on mouse click: If enabled, the current playback position can be set by clicking into the waveform.
  • Read only: Checking this option makes the entire waveform read only, e.g. no cue markers, volume envelopes etc. can be adjusted.

Peakmeter

  • Enable peakmeter: Uncheck to hide the peakmeter.
  • Show clipping indicator: If checked, a red clipping indicator will be displayed that flashes when the signal exceeds 0 dBFS.
