AudioDirector Timeline

The timeline is a visual representation of the digital audio files selected in the media library. When a media file is selected, CyberLink AudioDirector displays each of its audio channels separately in the timeline.

Note: the timeline can display up to 8 channels (7.1 channel). See Audio Channels for more information.

The values along the top of the timeline display either the audio file's playback time (timecode) or tempo (bar/beat), depending on your selected timebase display preference.

Note: you can change the timebase display (the values along the top of the timeline) by clicking either the Timecode or Bar/Beat button above the timeline. Timecode displays the audio by playback time, while Bar/Beat displays the audio by beats per minute (BPM) or its tempo. See Determine Tempo/Metronome for more information on using Bar/Beat as your timebase display.

The values along the right of the timeline indicate the audio intensity, or loudness, measured in decibels.

 

Note: you can switch the view of the timeline by clicking the buttons in the top right corner of the program. See Timeline View for more information.

The timeline is available in the Edit, Restore, and Mix rooms of CyberLink AudioDirector, and is where you work on editing, restoring, and mixing your audio files.

When you click the play button, the timeline slider begins to move, indicating the current playback position. If required, you can click and drag the timeline slider to any position if you want to jump forward in the audio.

In the Mix room there are multiple tracks in the timeline. Each file you add, adds another layer of audio onto the final outputted media represented by the Master Track.

See Mixing Audio for information on mixing audio in CyberLink AudioDirector.
