The Free Audio Editor workspace can contain several audio editing windows, CD projects or Cleaning Wizard projects.

The figure above shows the Free Audio Editor workspace with an audio editing window. The elements indicated with the red arrows are explained below:

1. The main toolbar with short cut icons for commonly used commands.

2. An audio editing window containing the audio file "When I Fall In Love.mp3". The audio is visualized with a curve corresponding to the recorded audio (see Time Domain).

3. The quick command bar. You can perform various operations with audio data.

4. A selected region indicated with yellow curve on a white background (colors depend on your system settings). The current cursor position is indicated by a blinking line.

5. The region list window.

6. The bar indicating the selected region, the viewed region and the cursor position. During processing, the progress is displayed in the status bar.

7. The navigation toolbar for recording, playback and cursor positioning.

8. Time Domain.

Time Domain: The normal wave plot shown when making a recording in Free Audio Editor is a time domain representation of the signal. When recording, Free Audio Editor has taken samples of the signal at certain intervals, quantized them, and stored them as series of digitized values. The wave plot is the result of drawing these samples on the screen with the time evolving along the horizontal axis.

9. The output level meters show the current output level during audio playback.
