	~~====Show Sticky Channels====~~
	~~----~~
	Sticky channels are those channels which stay visible on the grid when they are active. These are generally beat tracks which allow you to use them as a reference guide with different display groups. The Show Sticky Channels menu item will toggle between Sticky Channels and the regular view of the audio file.

Adjust Audio Length

	~~====Adjust Audio Length====~~
	~~----~~
	HLS has the ability to shorten audio on the tail end. This is useful at times when a song may fade to several seconds of silence which are undesirable. To clip the audio, you must set the GREEN mark on the audio ruler. To do so, locate the point you wish to cut the audio and press CTRL + Right Mouse Button to place the GREEN mark. Then, select to shorten audio and click YES through the warnings. HLS will shut down after cutting and saving.


	HLS also has the ability to lengthen audio with silence. When selected, HLS will warn you that you are about to lengthen your audio. Select YES to continue. Then add the amount of silence to add in Minutes, Seconds, and Milliseconds. Press OK when done.

	~~====Audio Filters====~~
	~~----~~
	~~This is a very powerful feature of HLS and one that can come in handy when setting up [[Adding and Using Beat Tracks\|beat tracks]].~~

	*'''Hi Pass Filter:''' This filter will filter the audio to only show the portions that are in higher frequencies, such as a female vocal or high (in pitch, not volume) notes.
	**Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pass_filter High Pass Filter]
	*'''Lo Pass Filter:''' This filter will filter the audio to only show the portions that are in lower frequencies, such as bass drum and other low (in pitch, not volume) notes.
	**Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter Low Pass Filter]
	*'''Band Pass filter:''' This filters on BOTH high and low frequencies. The ''Frequency'' value is the "desired" frequency. A band pass filter will filter OUT both the high and low frequencies that are further away from that frequency.
	**Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-pass_filter Band Pass Filter]
	~~<br />~~

	~~'''Common Frequencies:'''~~

	*''200 Hz and below:'' The bass of the mix. The bottom end of the sound.
	*''200 – 400 Hz:'' The body of the low end instruments.
	*''400 Hz – 1 kHz:'' The low mid/mid area of the mix. The body of guitars and vocals reside here.
	*''1 – 3 kHz:'' Snare drums and kicks start in this range and extend almost to 4 kHz.
	*''4 – 8 kHz:'' High-mids, the top end of most drums, guitars, and organs. Also the body of cymbals is in this range, bottoming out in 3 kHz range.
	*''8 – 10 kHz:'' Cymbals mostly live here. You’ll also find the top end of vocals here.
	*Summarized from: [http://abovegroundmagazine.com/columns/pro-logic/10/26/understanding-sound-frequency-a-guide-to-hz-and-khz/ abovegroundmagazine.com]

	~~<br /><br />~~

	~~====Speed Controls====~~
	~~----~~
	The Speed Control handles playback speed of the audio file. Being able to adjust the playback of the audio assists in proper timing placement in faster songs or just getting timings very precise. To activate, click the speed desired and then click the play button.
