4. Move through the audio shown in the waveform using any of the playback methods.
You hear sound as you track the audio visually. When the position indicator reaches the
point you want in the waveform, you can mark, trim, or perform any other function.
To display audio waveforms for selected tracks:
1. Click the Timeline fast menu and select Audio Data > Allow Per Track Settings.
2. Click the Timeline fast menu and select Audio Data > Allow Per Track Settings, and then
click the Waveform button in the Track Control panel for the tracks you want to display
audio waveform plots.
The waveform appears in the selected tracks.
You can turn off all waveforms on selected tracks by disabling Allow Per Track Settings.
This disables the display of waveforms, but it does not change the per track settings.
Enabling per track settings again restores your per track waveform displays. You can also
save the Allow Per Track Settings state as part of a customized Timeline view. For more
information, see “Customizing Timeline Views” on page 668.
