Zooming in the Waveform

You can zoom in the waveform according to the standard zoom techniques.

The following applies:

  • The vertical zoom slider changes the vertical scale relative to the height of the Sample Control.

  • The vertical zoom is also affected if Zoom Tool Standard Mode: Horizontal Zooming only is deactivated in the Preferences dialog (Editing-Tools) and you drag a rectangle with the Zoom tool.

  • You can zoom in by holding down Alt while drawing a selection rectangle around the segments that you want to zoom in on. You can zoom out by holding down Alt and clicking in an empty area of the waveform.

  • The current zoom setting is shown on the info line as samples per pixel.

    Note

    You can zoom in horizontally to a scale of less than one sample per pixel. This is required for drawing with the Draw tool.

  • If you have zoomed in to one sample per pixel or less, the appearance of the samples depends on the Interpolate Audio Waveforms option in the Preferences dialog (Event Display–Audio).
