Zooming the Waveform of Audio Regions
The Arrange area offers a unique Waveform Zoom tool, found to the left of the
horizontal zoom slider. This allows you to visually resize the waveform, making it easier
to determine hit points, which can be useful for some editing tasks.
To zoom the waveform of audio regions:
1 Click-hold on the Waveform Zoom button, and a slider is shown.
2 Drag the slider, and as you do so, the waveform shown in all audio regions is increased
or decreased in size.
An active Waveform Zoom button is displayed in dark gray. Click it to switch off the
Waveform Zoom display.
Note: This is a purely visual function. The amplitude (level) of the waveform is not
affected.
