Versatile tools for precise edits
Edit Tool
Use the edit tool to select the audio files that you want to change, position or move. You can edit simple envelope points in the same way.
Magnify Tool
Use the magnify tool to zoom in on a region. Dragging the mouse pointer over a range enlarges it. If you let go of the mouse button, the area selected for editing will not be lost.
Pencil Tool
Use the Pencil tool to edit the waveform by drawing on it. For instance, you can zoom in to a problem area and redraw the waveform if noise is present in the audio file.
Event Tool
Use the event tool to edit several audio events in a single data window. This shows you simpler methods for cleaning edges and transitions and makes creating track for Disc-At-Once CDs easier.
Envelope Tool
You can add, remove, or adjust envelope points using the envelope tool. It should be used when you want to add points to effect automation envelopes or remove or customize them.
