desired area.
2.To make a selection in the waveform overview, keep the <OPTION> key pressed and mark
the seletion by clicking/moving the mouse on the waveform overview. Selections can be
made on single channels as well: If you select mark the selection in the upper part of the left
channel, only the left channel will be selected. If you mark the selection in the lower part of
the right channel, the right channel will be selected. If you mark the region in the middle
(between the two 0-lines of the channels), both channels will be selected.
