Abstract
Tools and techniques are provided to allow the user of a signal editing application to retain control over individual changes, while still relieving the user of the responsibility of manually identifying problems. Specifically, tools and techniques are provided which separate the automated finding of potential problems from the automated correction of those problems. Thus, editing is performed in two phases, referred to herein as the 'analysis' phase and the 'action' phase. During the analysis phase, the signal editing application automatically identifies target areas within the signal that may be of particular interest to the user. During the “action” phase, the user is presented with the results of the analysis phase, and is able to decide what action to take relative to each target area.
