The software enabled me to use multi track view (this is where users load up the files and layer the tracks) there is an unlimited number of tracks you can layer which was particularly useful when editing my Mitzvah Day news story as it required four different speech parts and two different street sounds. The main purpose of multi track view is to layer tracks and adjust timing and volume.
I also used the blue line in multi track view to adjust the volume on the mitzvah day story as the correspondent, Miriam, was asking questions to members of the public, I turned the volume down at the beginning and end of each characters speech to make it sound as if the microphone was being passed back and forth.
There is also edit view, where a file is loaded up, left and right, you work with it to add effects or change things about it. Equalising is where you affect base, treble or midrange, this proved useful in my community centre story, I accidentally put the word "Millions" in my script without noticing that it sounded unrealistic, I used this to raise the first syllable of the next word "Finchley", so it sounded like the beginning of a sentence. below is what I originally recorded, Here is what I edited it to be: You can also cut and paste as if in a word file to eliminate mistakes, add or remove gaps, mute breath sounds and background noise so it runs smoothly. You can also affect timing to make it sound more natural. Due to the fact that the programme was mostly based on news, I didn't use many sound effects, I only used four different street sounds (mitzvah day and the community centre stories) and a camera click used in the Simon Kaye advert. However despite not using so many sound effects, working with audio has given me ideas and extended knowledge that has greatly benefitted me with my A2 project.
