A. Track pane B. Clips pane C. Audio Scale Ruler

There are three 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.

To change the Audio Scale Display option

1. Right-click on the Audio Scale Ruler in any track.

A menu appears. The current display option is checked.

2. Select an option from the menu.

Note: The Audio Scale Ruler does not appear on multi-layered tracks.

Note: The Audio Scale Ruler display reflects the type of audio clip directly beneath it. If it is a

stereo waveform, the Audio Scale Ruler appears in stereo (one for each channel). If it is a mono

clip it appears in mono. Also, the Audio Scale Ruler only displays numbers when it is above a

certain height. If you cannot see the Audio Scale Ruler, increase the size of your track or bus.
