the <dfn>location</dfn> part of the window allows to name the exported files with

a lot of choice regarding the naming convention, hence blending into the user's

workflow, and providing a clean way to keep the export folders from beeing cluttered

with poorly named files.

<p>
|

Checking <kbd class="option">Analyze Exported Audio</kbd> shows the Export Report/Analysis
|
||||
window. This provides a lot of usefull informations about the exported file:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>the file name and location</li>
|
||||
<li>its format</li>
|
||||
<li>its channel count</li>
|
||||
<li>its sample rate</li>
|
||||
<li>its duration and timecode.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It also allows to <kbd class="menu">Play</kbd> the file, and the <kbd class="menu">
|
||||
Open Folder</kbd> button gives a quick access to the place where it has been created.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The most prominent feature though, are the two generated views of the audio file
|
||||
in time (waveform) and frequency (sonograph) domain, and the loudness
|
||||
analysis, giving:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>the Peak value</li>
|
||||
<li>the True Peak value (to take inter sample peaks into account)</li>
|
||||
<li>the Normalization Gain (if it has been applied)</li>
|
||||
<li>the Integrated Loudness</li>
|
||||
<li>the loudness range</li>
|
||||
<li>a graph of the multiplicity of the peaks at the different loudness levels.</li>

case.
