The Filters tab includes filters that improve or change the quality of the music. The so-called non-destructive procedure is used for processing, i.e. the actual recording is not changed, but flags are simply set that can be canceled at any time. No additional audio data is created. The audio files on hard drive are not modified during this procedure.
The following configuration options are available in the Audio Track Properties window:
