Subject:Print function for waveform Posted by: thx99 Date:1/16/2003 5:52:34 AM I work in the forensic audio field and often times, we print a portion of the time waveform for our analysis in the lab and for courtroom presentation. Presently, we use a high-resolution Unix-based system, but we're looking toward a PC-based system such as Sound Forge, Cool Edit, etc., which will allow us to produce high-quality hard copies. However, none of these PC applications have a waveform print function incorporated into them (SF does have a print function for its spectral analysis, though). We want to stay away from a low-resolution screen capture and instead, want to be able to print the actual data points (within the limitations of the printing device, obviously). Does anyone know of an available plug-in for SF or CE which would allow for the printing of the waveform? Or can anyone recommend a software package which already has this functionality built in? Thanks! Doug
