Using zooming shortcuts
Zooming to a selection
1.
Create a selection. If no selection is created, the Zoom Selection function is not available.
2.
Right-click the waveform and choose Zoom Selection from the shortcut menu. The minimum zoom ratio that allows the full
selection to appear in the window is calculated, and the selection is then zoomed and centered in the data window.
Note:
To reverse this function, right-click the waveform, choose Zoom, and choose Out Full from the submenu.
Zooming the window
Right-click the level ruler and choose Zoom Window from the shortcut menu. The maximum zoom level that allows the loudest portion
of the selection to appear in the window is calculated and the entire sound file is adjusted.
Note:
To reverse this function, right-click the level ruler and choose Zoom Out Full from the shortcut menu.
Zooming out full
To quickly display all data in a data window, right-click the waveform, choose Zoom, and choose Out Full from the submenu. This
command sets the zoom ratio and zoom level to the lowest values required to display all data in the window.
Note:
To reverse this function, go to the View menu, choose Zoom Time, and choose Normal from the submenu.
Zooming in full
To quickly set the zoom factor to its maximum magnification, right-click the waveform and choose Zoom In Full from the shortcut
menu. The maximum magnification available is 24:1.
Note:
To reverse this function, right-click the waveform and choose Zoom Normal from the shortcut menu.
Optimizing time and level ruler scaling
To optimize both the time ruler and level ruler display of a selection, double-click the level ruler. Double-clicking the level ruler a second
time restores both displays to their default levels.
Using the Magnify tool
The Magnify tool provides an additional way to magnify a section of an audio file. You can access the Magnify tool in three ways:
• From the Edit menu, choose Tool, and choose Magnify from the submenu.
• Click the Magnify Tool button (
) on the Standard toolbar.
• Click the Edit Tool Selector in the upper-left corner of the data window until the Magnify tool is selected.
Tip:
When the Allow Ctrl+drag style zoom in data windows check box is selected on the General tab of the Preferences dialog, you can
hold Ctrl while creating a selection to temporarily use the Magnify tool.
When you select the Magnify tool, the cursor appears as a magnifying glass (
). You can use this tool to create a selection box indicating
how audio data is magnified. By using the Magnify tool and toggle-clicking the mouse, you can toggle between time zoom, level zoom,
and simultaneous time/level zoom. For more information, see Using the mouse on page 21.
