These default mouse actions are valid only if the
SLICE
and
REMOVE
buttons are disabled in
the edit tools (5). Enabling any of them provides alternative mouse controls described below.
(2) Zooming scroll bar
Click the main part of the scroll bar and drag your mouse horizontally to scroll through the
waveform on the horizontal axis (time), or drag it vertically to zoom in/out on this time axis.
You can also click the left or right handle of the scroll bar and drag it horizontally to zoom in/
out while keeping the opposite border of the display at a fix position in the waveform. Double-
click the main part of the bar to reset the zoom and display the entire waveform. Alternatively
you can use the scroll wheel of your mouse when hovering the waveform display (1) to zoom in/
out.
(3) Timeline
Shows the time scale in seconds.
(4) Information bar
Displays the file name and the length of the selected Sample. Click and hold the little play
icon on the left to play back the whole Sample on the Cue bus (see section

the waveform display (1) between single-channel and two-channel display.
(5) Edit tools

pointer turns into a rubber icon and the default mouse actions are replaced by the follow-
ing:
◦
Click the start border of a Slice to delete that border and merge the Slice with the pre-
vious one.
