Control Window
This is a special Workspace that allows you to create your own control window layout. This
window does not edit any files, but is used as a placeholder to organize certain tool windows
(for example a selection of meters). This is especially useful if you have multiple monitors:
you can place the Control Window on your secondary display and use it to manage all the
tool windows you commonly refer to.
This window has some special features:

Docking/Undocking windows
The process for docking/undocking windows in the Control Window is slightly different to
that in other Workspaces. To dock a window in the Control Window:
1. Undock the window so it is floating as an independent window.
2. Choose a pane in which you want to place the window. This is done by clicking on an
empty pane; an arrow icon
will appear to indicate it is selected.
3. Choose the following command from the floating window's menu: Window>Place
in Control...

ˆ A horizontal line indicates that the left channel is the same as the right, but with an
inverse phase.
ˆ A random but roughly elliptical shape indicates a well balanced stereo signal. If the
shape "leans" to the left, there is more energy in the left channel and vice versa (the
extreme case of this is if one side is muted, in which case the Phasescope will show a
straight line, angled 45 degrees to the other side).
ˆ A perfect circle indicates a sine wave on one channel, and...

9.2.2 VU Meter
The vu-meter is used to display the peak and average loudness/decibel level of your Audio
File. It also displays the pan, or the balance between the left and right channels in a stereo
file.
The upper part of the level/pan meter window shows the peak level and average loudness,
in the following way:
ˆ The Peak Level meters display the peak levels of each channel, graphically and numeri-
cally. By default, the meter segments and numerical peak values are displayed...

9.2.3 Oscilloscope
The Oscilloscope offers a highly magnified view of the waveform around the playback cursor
position.
If you are analyzing a stereo file, the Oscilloscope normally shows the separate levels of
the two channels. However, if you activate the option "Show Sum and Subtraction" on the
Functions menu (or click the +/- icon), the upper half of the Oscilloscope shows the sum of
the two channels and the lower half shows the subtraction.
