Changing AVS Audio Editor Settings
You can customize AVS Audio Editor colors, devices and other settings so that it were convenient for you to work with the program. To open the Options window click the Options 
button on the Tools Tab.
The Options window contains the following tabs:
The General settings tab lets you edit the following parameters:
Temporary directory - the temporary folder used to store the currently edited files. It should be large enough to store uncompressed versions of the edited files as AVS Audio Editor works with files in its own audio format.
Undo - Undo/Redo count - the maximal number of undo/redo operations that can be performed.
Effects - enable the Smoothly edit boundaries by crossfading option to determine the threshold of the effect. Normally when this option is enabled the effect will start gradually, there is no sharp transition from the audio without effect to the audio where the effect is applied. You can also set the Crossfading time (in milliseconds) during which this transition will be applied.
