Low Priority Encoding:
The WAV to MPEG converter requires a large amount of
processor power. If the user is trying to run multiple applications checking the low priority encoding
box will increase the amount of time to encode the files, but will allow other applications to run
quicker while the encoding is taking place.
Make WAV File Copies:
When the user drags WAV files into the snippet section, the M2
Composer software uses the WAV file in the location specified to create an MPEG copy of the file
for use with the M2. If the Source WAV file is moved, or deleted, the composer will not be able to
re-encode that file. Checking this box causes the system to create a numbered copy of the WAV
file in the CMACData folder for backup purposes.
Toward the top of the screen, above the WAV File and folder section, is a horizontal bar which contains
particular information regarding the currently selected WAV file. This information is formatted from left
to right with the following data:
File
name
Size, in bytes
Duration
Format (mono or stereo)
Bits per sample
At the bottom of the screen, below the Folder and Snippet sections, is a horizontal bar which contains
particular information regarding the currently selected Snippet. This information is formatted from left to
right with the following data:
File
name
Encoding quality / bitrate
Duration
Format (mono or stereo)
Sample rate, in kHz
Screen settings: The available area for each section of the display can be tailored to the user’s
preference. When the cursor is placed over the separating bar between each pane, the cursor will
change shape allowing the user to left click the bar and drag it to what ever location is preferred.
