In Multi Track Mode, the names of the input and output ports that are used by the track are displayed.

In Stereo Mode, you can set the volume and the pan position for the track in the stereo mix.

Event display

The event display to the right of the track list shows the audio events. If the marker track is displayed, the markers are also shown. A ruler, zoom controls, and the project cursor help you to navigate within your project.

Ruler

The ruler above the display shows the timeline. The two triangular markers on the ruler are the locators. They define the cycle area.

Locators

The left and right locators are a pair of markers that you can use to set up cycle boundaries for playing back a section of the project in a loop.

Waveform zoom slider

To zoom in on the contents of events vertically, use the waveform zoom slider in the top right corner of the event display.

This is useful when viewing quiet audio passages.

Note

To get an approximate reading on the level of the audio events by viewing the waveforms, make sure this slider is all the way down. Otherwise, zoomed waveforms may be mistaken for clipped audio.

Project cursor

The white vertical line is the project cursor. It indicates the playback or recording position. When playback or recording are stopped, it defines the position where editing is performed.

Note

During recording, the project cursor cannot be moved. In stop mode, you can set the cursor by clicking on the timeline. Double-clicking starts/stops playback.

Zoom controls

The horizontal and vertical zoom sliders in the lower right of the event display allow you to zoom within the main display. When you click the triangle above the vertical zoom slider , the zoom pop-up menu opens, from which you can select a zoom preset.
