Description of parameters:

Defined paths: These paths represent the installation of Pristine Sounds. You may change any of these if you are running out of hard disk space. When editing large files, the UNDO may take up a substantial part of the drive. Please feel free to change either the First UNDO path or the Second UNDO path to any available hard drive / partition. There is a slight increase in performance if you choose 2 different drives (SCSI preferred) for the two directories.

Fit wave to window when opening: When your waveform is opened, it will be fitted to the screen if this checkbox is used.

Position guide when playing: When playing the waveform, it could be useful to see exactly where you are.

Track window when playing: If you use a position guide, you can also let the window track the current position on the screen, so you never loose track of where you are. Recommended zoom is 200-1000.

Spectral analyze meters. If the powermeters are enabled, they will also show a spectral distribution.

Visual update time (ms.): "Visuals" are the power meters, the position guide, the window tracking, the before & after window and the sample by sample inspection window. For absolute smoothness, use 20ms if you can, but most videocards / CPU's cope at most 50ms (20 frames per sec) which is the default.

Enable exception handling. Some effect may under certain circumstances (BUGS!!!) create exception that crash the main program. Those crashes are hereby caught, and you work is safe. When debugging (programming stuff...) this should be turned off.

Release soundcard... when other application is activated. Sometimes you want the control of the soundcard even though an other program (sequencer, sampler, mixer) is active.

Windowing functions: When using the frequency view of a waveform, it could sometimes be useful to use different "windowing" functions. If you do not know what they are, please use the Hann window.
