Essential Tools
The
Tracks
screen and its associated

vide the main work areas for audio waveform editing
on an VGA display. These work areas are mirrored
on the LCD display by the
Tracks
and

screens. The
Tracks
screens allow coarse editing and
region selection on one or multiple tracks. The
Waveform
screens provide a larger view of the wave-
form and sample-accurate resolution for more
detailed editing.
