Essential Editing Techniques
1. Use Keyboard Shortcuts
Efficiency is key in professional audio editing. Learn these essential keyboard shortcuts:
- Space: Play/Pause
- Ctrl+Z: Undo
- Ctrl+S: Save project
- Delete: Remove selected audio
2. Work with High-Quality Source Material
Always start with the highest quality audio files possible. While AudioFlow can work with compressed formats, starting with uncompressed WAV or FLAC files will give you the best results.
3. Use Non-Destructive Editing
AudioFlow's non-destructive editing means your original files are never modified. This allows you to experiment freely and revert changes at any time.
Advanced Techniques
