Audio editing system.

摘要

A system and method is provided for facilitating the editing of digitized audio data and commentary associated with such data under digital computer-assisted control. Differing types of data objects stored within an audio file in a computer may be cut and pasted separately or treated as a single object. Provision is made for storing points objects and audio index objects alone or in combination both with respect to a source and target file. Combinations of these objects in the source and target files which must be accommodated during cut and paste operations are handled by the system which accommodates maintaining temporal and spatial relationships between objects during these editing operations.
