Waveforms Before using the DECsound editing operations, you must select the part of the recording that you want to modify. DECsound displays a waveform that represents the recording. You select parts of the recording by selecting parts of the waveform. DECsound displays the waveform in two formats: * Samples, which show the values recorded by the DECsound software and hardware * Energy levels, which show the variations in sound energy in the DECsound recording Choose Display Samples from the DECsound View menu to display the waveform in the samples format. Choose Display Energy from the View menu to display the waveform in the energy levels format. To remove the waveform display, choose Hide Waveform Display from the View menu. Note that when you choose Display Energy or Display Samples from the View menu, DECsound displays the Zoom Slider .
