+ DSP CPU Utilization sets how many cpu processors can be
+ used to do signal processing. It can be set to use one up to all
+ processors.
+
+ Undo
+
+ Limit undo history sets how many commands can be
+ undone using Z or
+ Edit > Undo.
+
+ Save undo history sets how many commands are saved so
+ they are available to be undone after reopening the session.
+
+ Verify removal of last capture when enabled prompts to
+ verify removal the last recording capture when
+ Edit > Remove Last Capture is executed.
+
+ Make periodic backups of the session file will create
+ a backup session file after changes to the timeline. The backup file is
+ the session name followed by .ardour.bak. The backup can be
+ used to recover from crashes when the session had not been explicitly
+ saved.
+
+ Session Management
+
+ Always copy imported files selects, and then disables
+ changes to, the Copy files to session option in the
+
+ Add Existing Media dialog.
+
+ Default folder for new sessions: defalts the folder
+ where Ardour will create new session folders. This is used in the
+ Session Setup dialog displayed by
+ Session > New.
+
+ Maximum number of recent sessions: determines how many
+ of the last opened sessions shows in the
+ Recent Sessions dialog displayed by
+ Session > Recent.
+
+ Click audio file: sets a user defined sound to be + played when Ardour's metronome is enabled in the + + Transport Bar +
+ Click emphasis audio file: sets an optional different + metronome sound to be played on the downbeat. +
+ Click gain level: allows the metronome's click sounds + to be boosted or attenuated. +
+ Automation +
+ Thinning factor ranges from 0 to 1000 with larger + values sending fewer automation changes. Thinning is like lossy + audio compression, removing data that is less likely to be noticed, + although the more you remove the more likely the loss will be noticed. + The advantage to thinning is reduced CPU usage. +
+ Automation sampling interval ranges from 1 to + 1000 ms. Determines how frequently the automation input is + sampled. The shorter the interval the higher the accuracy but also + the higher the CPU requirements. +

- Waveform Clip Level (dBFS): + Waveform Clip Level (dBFS): sets the level at which the + waveform shown in an audio region will be drawn in red to indicate + clipping. Setting lower than 0.0 dBFS can be useful if any tool in + the audio chain has problems near 0.0 dBFS.

The + summary area is at the bottom of the editor and shows an overview of all + regions on the timelime.
- Name new markers + Name new markers when enabled, popup a dialog when a new + marker is created. This allows + markers to be named as they are created.
Auto-scroll editor window when dragging near its edges + when enabled will scroll the editor window automatically when dragging a + region. This can make it easier to see where to position the region.
- After splitting selected regions, select + After splitting selected regions, select determines which, + if any, regions are selected after a split operation. The options are no + regions, the regions created by the split, and if more than one region + was selected to start with, the existing selection and the new regions. + Changes to this setting take affect after restarting Ardour.
