Disguise works with audio in two distinct ways: audio can be inserted directly onto the Track or added to a layer on the timeline.
To achieve PA audio quality (including per machine patching) it is recommended to embed uncompressed audio within a video file or to use the Audio Layer
Track audio (.mp3, .wav, or .aiff) can be quantised and used as a guide audio track, allowing a show to be sequenced to the beat.
For file format information, see supported file formats.
Quantising a track and sequencing to the beat
An audio file can be attached directly to the Track. It is then possible to quantise the audio track. Quantising involves editing a beatgrid to snap Track events to the beat, enabling content to be sequenced to the beat.
For step-by-step instructions on how to quantise an audio track please see the below sub-chapter Quantising an audio track.
Please note: at present only music with a 4/4 time signature is supported. These deficiencies will be addressed to in a future release.
Outputting high quality audio
The 4U, Pro Range and Gx Range hardware can output balanced stereo from its professional RME audio card.
For more information please see the sub-chapter Outputting audio.
AudioAnalyser
The AudioAnalyser displays the audio waveform. For more information on using the AudioAnalyser, visit this page.
