CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 241
Changing the view of a waveform
Whenever you open an audio file, the waveform is displayed entirely within the
edit window. If you change the magnification of the window, the view of the
waveform changes, and parts of the waveform may be hidden by the window
frame.
To change your current view, drag on the Global View Panel in the Overview
Strip . This reveals those portions of the waveform previously hidden. To return to
viewing the entire waveform in the edit window, click View: Fit In Window
[CTRL+1] . (To view the waveform at 1x , click View: Actual View [CTRL+A] .)
In Audio Editor, it is possible to zoom down to the sample level. Editing at this
level, however, is often impractical as any changes you make may be
inaudible because of the sheer number of samples possible. For example, the
smallest audio file still has 11,025 samples per second.
If you have created a selection area, you can fit the selection to the edit
window by clicking on the
Fit Selection in Window [Ctrl+F] button on the
Toolbar.
