Using Multi-Track Gestures to Control Playback
If your portable computer has a Multi-Touch trackpad, you can use the rotate gesture to
play back audio in the Timeline. The speed of playback is determined by the speed of
the rotate gesture. For example, a very slow clockwise rotate gesture scrubs the audio
forward from the position of the playhead. For more information on scrubbing audio,
see Scrubbing Audio Files.

µ
Use the rotate gesture clockwise.
To move the playhead to the left
µ
Use the rotate gesture counterclockwise.

control. The Track Height control has four settings. The smallest rectangle sets the track
height to a minimized setting, with each track (and track header) reduced to half-height,
allowing more tracks to be displayed in the Timeline.
