Tremolo

A tremolo works almost like an automatic gain control, making the audio louder and softer in a highly rhythmic fashion. You can use a variety of settings to create subtle or extreme effects, repeating quickly or slowly as you wish.

Time

Controls the length between the loudest and softest points in the tremolo. Values can range between 0 and 1000 milliseconds.

Volume 1

Sets one of the volume points for the tremolo effect in decibels. You can use values from -0 (silent) to approximately +6 dB.

Volume 2

Sets the other volume point for the effect. Be careful about setting either volume too high, since it can easily distort. Set the volumes to different values from each other; the greater the difference in values, the more dramatic the tremolo effect.

Method

Choose between Sine, Square, and Sawtooth waveforms. This setting determines whether the tremolo effect will sweep smoothly between Volume levels 1 and 2 (Sine), whether it will jump sharply between them (Square), or whether it with change steadily to and from each point (Sawtooth).
