sections of the audio clip not belonging to the event are
shown with a gray background.

Snap
The Snap function helps you to find exact positions when
editing in the Sample Editor by restricting horizontal
movement and positioning to certain grid positions. You
turn Snap on or off by clicking the Snap button in the
Sample Editor toolbar.
Ö The Sample Editor Snap function is independent of
the Snap setting in the Project window toolbar or other
editors. It has no effect outside the Sample Editor.
Snap to Zero Crossing
When this option is activated, editing is done at zero
crossings (positions in the audio where the amplitude is
zero). This helps you to avoid pops and clicks, which
might otherwise be caused by sudden amplitude changes.
Ö The Sample Editor function “Snap to Zero Crossing”
is independent of the same setting in the Project window
toolbar or other editors. It has no effect outside the Sam
