Using the Global Waveform View
The File Editor includes a Global Waveform view, located directly above the main
waveform display. The Global Waveform view displays a miniature view of the entire
audio file and shows the current playhead position. The part of the audio file visible in
the waveform display appears inside a blue rectangle. You can quickly move to
different parts of the audio file by dragging the visible area rectangle.
To move to a different part of the audio file using the Global Waveform view:
m Drag the blue visible area rectangle to a new position.
Using Markers in the File Editor Project View
You can insert markers in an audio file project in the same way as in a multitrack
project. Markers can be useful for indicating where a specific sound, cue, or event
begins or ends in the audio file. They can also be useful for indicating an area of an
audio file you want to time stretch.
When an audio file project has two or more markers, you can select the area between
two markers by double-clicking in the waveform display. For more information, see
“
Selecting Part of an Audio File ” on page 202.
For information about inserting, naming, moving, and deleting markers, see “ Working
with Markers ” on page 183.
