What exactly is truncating (if thats how its even spelled). When does it come into play? Someone please school me on this. thanks...
Truncating is cutting off the ends of the sample.
The ends you specify are what get cut off.
Let's say your sample is 1 - 1000 total length.
Now you don't like the very front of the sample so you highlight
data 1 - 100, hit truncate/do it and it will cut off that very beginning
of your sample. Now 1 - 100 data is gone, leaving 101-1000 but now on your machine you see what's left showing as 1 - 900. You following?
That's truncating, you highlight what you want to cut off and it gets cut out of the sample, the memory that the trash-canned data used is now returned to your total main memory.
