Using Loops
A. Audio Scale Ruler B. Clip
There are three right-click display options in the Audio Scale Ruler:
• Percentage—shows audio scaling by percentage. For example, if the
highest percentage in the Audio Scale Ruler reads 2.0%, then only the
parts of the waveform which are within 2% of the zero crossing appear
in the clip.
• dB—shows audio scaling by dB. For example, if the highest dB in the
Audio Scaling Ruler reads -36, then only the parts of the waveform
which are 36 dB below 0 dB appear in the clip.
• Zoom Factor—shows audio scaling by a factor. For example, if the
Zoom Factor reads 10, then the waveform is zoomed in by a factor of
10.
