▪ Audio Zoom In and Out button. This button changes the waveform
amplitude display of all Audio tracks in the session by enlarging or
shrinking the track waveform views vertically, making the waveforms
appear taller or shorter. Zooming in is useful to distinguish low-amplitude
audio waveforms; zooming out is useful to distinguish high-amplitude
audio waveforms.
▪ MIDI Zoom In and Out button. This button changes the display of MIDI
data on all MIDI-compatible tracks in the session by modifying the note
range shown in the track (represented by the track’s mini-keyboard).
Zooming in shows a narrower range of notes, with each note appearing
fatter; zooming out shows a broader range of notes, with each note
appearing thinner.
Tip: The MIDI Zoom buttons do not affect tracks in Clips view.
▪ Horizontal Zoom In button. This button changes the time display of all
tracks in the session by enlarging the track Timeline, audio waveform
views, and MIDI displays to show less time across the screen, with
greater detail. This adjustment is useful for distinguishing precise edit
points and magnifying the Edit window display to a very high resolution.
Shortcut: Click and drag on any one of the Zoom buttons for continuous
zooming.
Shortcut: ALT-CLICK (Windows) or OPTION-CLICK (Mac) on any one of
the Zoom buttons to return to the previous zoom magnification.
Storing and Recalling Zoom Presets
Directly beneath the Zoom buttons are five buttons numbered 1 through 5.
These are the Zoom Preset buttons, which are used to store and recall
commonly used zoom magnifications. Each Zoom Preset can be updated to
store a zoom setting of your choice. Custom presets are saved with your
session.
