Audio Track Editor overview
The Audio Track Editor shows a close-up view of part of an audio track in the Tracks area,
displaying the audio waveform of the regions on the track in a time grid.

them in other ways. You can scroll and zoom the Audio Track Editor, and zoom the amplitude of
the waveforms in audio regions. Edits you make in the Audio Track Editor are nondestructive, so
you can always return to your original recordings.

Pitch. For more information, see
