Visualization of Audio

The normal wave plot shown when making a recording in Acoustica is a time domain representation of the signal. When recording, Acoustica has taken samples of the signal at certain intervals, quantized them, and stored them as series of digitized values. The wave plot is the result of drawing these samples on the screen with the time evolving along the horizontal axis.

The waveform visualization is very convenient in audio editing because it provides a good overview of the recording while allowing you to select time regions.
