Hi Rob,
The difficulty seems to be that Wave Editor visualises data using
Photoshop style layers vs the more usual mixing desk schema.
The best way I can think to explain the layers is that the base
channels - a stereo pair in this case but could be 24 channel if you
had the need - are the equivalent of the master output bus in a "mixer
style" audio app. The layers are roughly the equivalent of stereo
tracks (you can insert multichannel audio into layers) but they are
stacked above the base channels rather than being laid out like as
parallel "lanes". In the end you are looking at the similar types of
information presented in quite different ways.
The content of the WE layers can be slid around in time and with a
plug like Sonalksis's Free G http://www.sonalksis.com/index.php?section_id=
=3D99
you can add volume/pan functionality to Wave Editor's layers. I do
admit this is probably bending Wave Editor to a task it wasn't really
intended to do.
cheers
Paul
