Waveform Display

The Waveform Display is divided into two sections:

• The top of the display shows an overview of the entire sample waveform. A shaded rectangle

outlines the currently shown part of the sample.

• The main part of the display shows the "active" section of the sample waveform. Use the scroll

bar under the waveform to move through it.

To move the view, click and drag the shaded rectangle in the overview.

To zoom in, double-click the shaded rectangle in the overview. Alternatively, you can use the slider in the

lower-right corner of the Waveform Display.

To zoom out, press and hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS X) and double-click the shaded

rectangle in the overview. Alternatively, you can use the slider in the lower-right corner of the Waveform

Display.

In the main Waveform Display, a start point and end point are marked by green lines. These two points

define the portion of the sample data which will be played.

Click and drag either of these lines to move it. The most recently moved line will be red instead of green.

Tip: A recorded sample may have some silence at the beginning or end, which makes it difficult to time it

correctly in a musical context. Fix this by adjusting the start point. You can also adjust end point to

remove any extra silence or unwanted audio at the end. In addition to making your workflow easier,

having a "tight," well-edited sample can enhance your production or performance.
