Change the ruler display
There are two display modes for the Audio File Editor ruler.
•
Absolute mode: References the time axis of the project.
•
Relative mode: References the beginning of the audio file.
You can also customize the ruler so that it’s displayed in samples, Min:Sec:Ms, SMPTE Time, or
Bars/Beats.
The scale units in the ruler are displayed with solid white lines when you view the time scale
according to its absolute position. When you view the time scale according to its relative
position, the scale units are dotted (indicating that no time connection exists).
