Rectified Waveforms
Rectified waveforms are displayed so that their
positive and negative waveform excursions (the
portions that fall above and below the center line)
are summed together and viewed as a single posi-
tive-value signal. This view lets you see more
waveform detail in normal or reduced track height
views. It can be particularly useful when editing
volume automation data, since it depicts waveform
levels as starting at the bottom of the track. Recti-
fied view is available in both Peak and Power
views.
To show waveforms rectified (or normally):
 Select (or deselect) View > Waveforms >
Rectified
.
Outlined Waveforms
Outlined waveforms provide more visual defini-
tion of the waveform, especially when viewed
from a distance. However, you may want to disable
Outlines when you need to do precise, detailed ed-
iting in Peak waveform view. Outlines are not dis-
played when you are zoomed in to the sample
level.
To show (or hide) waveform outlines:
 Select (or deselect) View > Waveforms >
Outlines
.

When zoomed in to the sample level,
Pro Tools always displays waveforms in Nor-
mal Peak view.
