Fix another fixme: rework of the split editor chapter in the Archos manuals. If someone knows how to impelement the explained screenshot in a cleaner way that works with both pdf and html version, feel free to improve.

\subsection{Split Editor}
|
||||
\fixme{This chapter has to be rewritten, to fit in the multi-platform latex
|
||||
source code that we currently use}
|
||||
|
||||
When recording an mp3 file, it is common practice to start the recording
|
||||
a little bit early and stop it a little bit late to ensure all the
|
||||
desired sound is recorded. This results in recordings that contains
|
||||
desired sound is recorded. This results in recordings that contain
|
||||
extra snippets of sound in the beginning and the end. Unfortunately these
|
||||
snippets can not be deleted easily because they are stored in the same
|
||||
file as the desired recording. The purpose of the split editor is to
|
||||
split a mp3 file (the input file) at a point in time (split point). Two
|
||||
split an mp3 file (the input file) at a point in time (split point). Two
|
||||
new files can be generated from the input file. The first file contains
|
||||
the part before the split point and the second file contains the part
|
||||
after the split point. Once this process has been successful the
|
||||
original file can be deleted or kept as a backup.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole process of splitting a mp3 file consists of three steps:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item defining the split point
|
||||
\item generating the result files.
|
||||
\item if desired delete the input file (with the browser, not the split
|
||||
editor)
|
||||
\end{enumerate}

||||

The whole process of splitting an mp3 file consists of three steps:
|
||||
%
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item \textbf{Pause near the split point}
|
||||
When the device plays the song just hit the PAUSE button, when playback
|
||||
has roughly reached the split point. This need not be very precise as
|
||||
the split point can be fine tuned later.
|
||||
\item \textbf{Open the split editor}
|
||||
|
||||
Open the plugin. A screen similar to the one below will appear.

{\centering\upshape
|
||||
Here is an explanation of the areas marked in red on the screenshot.
|
||||
\par}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item The waveform \newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
The waveform displays the volume of the song over time. It will appear
|
||||
as the song plays and help to visually identify the point in time where
|
||||
the split is desired
|
||||
\item The split point indicator\newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
The split point indicator is a vertical line with a small triangle at
|
||||
the top end. It is the most important control element of the split
|
||||
editor. It can be moved with the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Later, when
|
||||
you have fine tuned the split point, the song will be split at this
|
||||
position.
|
||||
\item The split time\newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
At the top of the window a time value is displayed. This is the point in
|
||||
time within the song at which the split point indicator is positioned.
|
||||
\item The locator\newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
Another vertical bar represents the position locator. It moves along as
|
||||
the song plays. In contrast to the split point indicator it has no
|
||||
triangles at the ends.
|
||||
\item The time bar\newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
The time bar displays the current position within the song relative to
|
||||
the whole song. The entire length of the time bar represents the song
|
||||
length. The length of the solid part of the time bar represents the position and length
|
||||
of the displayed part of the song.
|
||||
\item The scale mode\newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
Directly above the F3 button the scale mode is displayed. The waveform
|
||||
can be scaled either logarithmically or linearly. In logarithmic scale
|
||||
mode the letters ``dB'' are displayed, in linear mode ``\%''. Use F3 to
|
||||
switch between these modes. Linear mode usually gives better optical
|
||||
hints with commercially recorded music. For quiet recordings,
|
||||
especially of human speech, the logarithmic scale often is preferable.
|
||||
\item The loop mode \newline
|
||||
\newline
|
||||
Directly above the F2 button the loop mode icon is displayed. There are
|
||||
4 different loop modes. Pressing F2 changes to the next loop mode.

||||

||||
