The HARE audio editor has three sections that display when it executes. At the top of the display is a control panel that contains two sliders and check boxes, and two buttons. A picture of this panel follows.

The first button on the right () toggles the mode
of operation between sound editing and
annotation. Sound editing is that standard way we manipulate and edit sound recordings. In editing
mode the program displays
two identical sound panels. Refer to the sound panel web page for
more information about how to work a sound panel. Annotation mode allows you to attach text
annotations to portions of a sound recording. Refer to the annotation
panel web page for instructions regarding this mode.
The button on the far right triggers an option dialog that enables you to configure the advanced
controls that are available. This option makes sense if you are familiar with digital signal
processing. Otherwise you can leave the options set as is. Click on

As we just mentioned, in editing mode, there are two identical sound panels that show on the bottom part of the application frame. These panels allow you to enter and edit sound recordings. You can use one of these as a work area as you use the various cut, paste, and edit options. The picture of one of these panels follow.
