inputs can be captured and stored in the computer's memory as
digital audio.
Edit :The start time, stop time, and duration of any sound on the audio timeline can be altered.;Mix :Multiple sound sources/tracks can be combined at various volume levels and, if in stereo, to left-right panning to one or more output tracks.
Apply Effects :Apply simple or advanced effects or filters to change the audio. Effects could include compression, expansion, flanging, reverb, noise reduction, equalization or a wide variety of other functions.;Playback :Sound (often after being mixed) can be sent to one or more
outputs; commonly speakers, additional processors, or a recording medium.
Conversion : A common audio editing task is converting between different audio file formats, or between different sound quality levels.Typically these tasks can be performed in a manner that is both non-linear and non-destructive.
