Layout
Overview
On the left side of the Audio window, you’ll see a thin column. At the top, you’ll see the
mode buttons (see “The Mode Buttons” on page 351), and at the bottom, the tools.
The column to the right lists the audio files, and their Regions, by name.
Further to the right, Region waveforms are displayed graphically, in the large white area
of the window. A Region is shown as a boxed, black, or colored area, while the rest of
the audio file is shown in light gray, indicating that this part of the audio file is not used
for the Region.
Zoom Functions
The Zoom Bar at the top right can be used to enlarge or reduce the vertical display.
The Zoom Bar at the lower left is for enlarging or reducing the horizontal display size—
altering the time display of the Regions.
The Mode Buttons
The mode buttons allow you to select different operating modes. These affect both the
display and the playback of Regions in the Audio window.
Link
Link mode in the Audio window means that whenever you select an audio Region in
the Arrange window, the same Region is automatically selected and displayed in the
Audio window.
You can switch link mode on or off by clicking the button featuring the chain link icon.
Hidden Regions (see “The Audio List” on page 353) cannot be displayed in link mode. If
you want to display them, you need to Show (see “The Audio List” on page 353) the
Regions.
