Patent ID: 8225207

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving digital audio data; displaying a representation of received digital audio data as an audio waveform; displaying a representation of one or more controls for applying one or more effects to the digital audio data; receiving an input manipulating a first control relative to the audio waveform; modifying the displayed representation of the audio waveform according to the position of the first control relative to a maximum amplitude of the representation of the audio waveform, wherein the representation of the audio waveform is modified to represent an application of an effect based on the relative position of the first control; applying the effect to the digital audio data, the application of the effect corresponding to the modified displayed representation of the audio waveform, wherein an amount of the effect is based on a second control, the second control being a ratio control with a movable measure, and wherein moving the measure in a first direction applies a first amount of the effect and moving the measure in a second direction applies a second amount of the effect; and making the modified digital audio data available for further processing and output.
