A digital medium environment includes an audio processing application that generates a user interface for editing audio data. Sound effects are displayed each with a single adjuster according to an ordered workflow based on a mix type of an audio clip, such as music, dialogue, etc. Adjustment of a single adjuster for a sound effect causes adjustment of multiple parameters of an effects processor underlying the sound effect. Furthermore, effects processors corresponding to selected sound effects are placed in an effects rack in a correct order, rather than in an order in which the sound effects are selected, thus correcting user mistakes. The techniques described herein allow users of varied skill levels to work on a same project, and provide a dynamic interface suitable to the user's skill level that also facilitates comparative testing with an audio effect disabled and subsequently enabled without dropouts in the rendered audio.

Digital audio data user interface customization based on user expertise, content type, or testing

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for entering or editing musical note data. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a user input selecting a scale; receiving a user input of notes; determining whether each note is in the scale; and for each note that is not, automatically replacing the note with a corrected note. In another aspect, a method includes displaying a segment of music; receiving user input selecting a scale, multiple notes from the displayed music, and a pitch displacement; displacing the notes; and for each displaced note that is not in the scale, automatically replacing the displaced note with a corrected note. In another aspect, a method includes receiving user inputs selecting multiple scales and a non-overlapping period of time for each scale; receiving notes, each for a particular period; and correcting the notes as necessary according to the scale for the period.

Musical data input

Audio data is processed and displayed in a series of spectral displays that progressively display the data at greater and greater resolution. Processing and displaying of the audio data is performed in a series of passes. For each pass, spectral data is generated from a portion of the audio data. The spectral data is cumulated and a display is rendered from the cumulated spectral data. This process is repeated until all of the passes have been completed.
