Basics Section
Draw Grids in Edit Window
Adds grid lines to the
Edit window. Grid line resolution is based on
the zoom level of the Edit window.
Draw Waveforms Rectified
Displays audio wave-
form data in rectified view. In this view, audio
waveforms are displayed so that their positive
and negative waveform excursions (the portions
that fall above and below the center line) are
summed together and viewed as a single posi-
tive-value signal. This view allows more wave-
form detail to be seen in either normal or re-
duced track height views. It can be particularly
useful when editing volume automation data,
since it depicts waveform levels as starting at the
bottom of the track.
