Audio editor display interface
First Claim
1. A method of displaying a received sound recording received over a time period comprising the steps of:
- converting the received sound recording into digital data blocks, each data block representing a corresponding portion of said sound recording during a predetermined time interval;
displaying an axis representing time;
displaying a graphical representation of said digital data adjacent to said time axis corresponding to the relative time position of a corresponding sound recording portion in said time period;
displaying at least one user locatable mark on said time axis representing a time point of said sound recording during said time period;
displaying a textual list of said at least one time mark and an operator input editing command that is to be executed on the sound recording at the time represented by the mark; and
providing an audio signal representative of said sound recording while displaying a mark adjacent to the graphical representation of said digital data and time line representing the current time position in the time period of the audio signal being provided.

Abstract
An audio editor comprising circuitry for converting a received audio sound recording into digital data blocks, where each data block represents a corresponding portion of the sound recording during a predetermined time interval. Also included is circuitry for storing the data blocks as a consecutive sequence representing the sound recording. A display circuit is provided for display the data blocks as a timed based graphical representation to a user. Also provided is a method of displaying the sound recording including the steps of (1) converting the received sound recording into digital data blocks, (2) displaying an axis representing time, (3) displaying a graphical representation of the digital data adjacent to the time axis corresponding to the relative time position of a corresponding sound recording portion in that time period, and (4) displaying at least one user locatable mark on the time axis representing a time point of the sound recording.
