The Project window
• If the option “Zoom while Locating in Time Scale” is ac-
tivated in the Preferences (Transport page), you can also
zoom by clicking in the main ruler and dragging up or
down with the mouse button pressed.
Drag up to zoom out; drag down to zoom in.
• You can zoom the contents of parts and events vertically,
using the waveform zoom slider in the top right corner of
the event display.
This is useful when viewing quiet audio passages.
• If you activate the option Quick Zoom in the Prefer-
ences (Editing page), the contents of parts and events will
not be continuously redrawn when you zoom manually.
Instead, the contents are redrawn once you have stopped changing the
zoom – activate this if screen redraws are slow on your system.
Resizing tracks in the Track list
• You can change the height of an individual track by
clicking on its lower border in the Track list and dragging
up or down.
To change the height of all tracks simultaneously, hold down [Ctrl]/
[Command] and resize one of the tracks in this way. If “Snap Track
Heights” is activated on the Track scale pop-up (see below), the track
height will change in fixed increments when you resize it.
• You can also change the width of the Track list area, by
dragging the border between the Track list and the event
display.
• By default, the controls shown for tracks in the Track list
will adapt to the track size. This means that when resizing
a track’s height or width the controls will be placed where
they best “fit in”.
If you prefer to have the controls in fixed positions, you can deactivate the
option “Wrap Controls” in the Track Controls settings dialog (see “Cus-
tomizing track controls” on page 263).
• You can decide for each track type which controls
should be shown in the Track list – see “Customizing
track controls” on page 263.
• You can use the Track scale pop-up (opened by clicking
the arrow button above the vertical zoom control) to set the
number of tracks to view in the current Project window.
The track height will be adjusted to show only the number of tracks spec-
ified on the pop-up menu. By selecting “Zoom N Tracks” from the pop-
up you can manually set the number of tracks to fit in the current Project
window.
Zoom to Selec-
tion (Horiz)
Zooms in horizontally so that the current selection fills
the screen.
Zoom to Event This option is available only in the Sample Editor (see
“Zooming” on page 128).
Zoom In Vertically Zooms in one step vertically.
Zoom Out
Vertically
Zooms out one step vertically.
Zoom In Tracks Zooms in on the selected track(s) one step vertically.
Zoom Out Tracks Zooms out the selected track(s) one step vertically.
Zoom Selected
Tracks
This zooms in vertically on the selected track(s) and
minimizes the height of all other tracks.
!
To get an approximate reading on the level of the au-
dio events by viewing the waveforms, make sure this
slider is all the way down. Otherwise, zoomed wave-
forms may be mistaken for clipped audio.
Option Description

This behavior is different when “Enlarge Selected
Track” is activated on the Edit menu (see below).
