The Audio Part Editor
Options and Settings
• The “Edit Active Part Only” button lets you restrict editing operations to the active
part only.
If you for example select “All” from the Select submenu of the Edit menu with this
option activated, all events in the active part will be selected but not the events in
other parts.
• You can zoom in on an active part so that it spreads to full dialog width by
selecting “Zoom to Event” from the Zoom submenu of the Edit menu.
• The “Show Part Borders” button can be used if you want to see clearly defined
borders for the active part.
When this is activated, all parts except the active one are grayed out, making the
borders easily discernible. There are also two “markers” in the ruler with the name
of the active part, marking its beginning and end. These can be moved freely to
change the part borders.
• It is possible to cycle between parts, making them active using key commands.
In the Key Commands dialog – Edit category, there are two functions: “Activate
Next Part” and “Activate Previous Part”. If you assign key commands to these, you
can use them to cycle between parts. See
“Setting up key commands” on page
712 for instructions on how to set up key commands.
Options and Settings
The following options and settings are available in the Audio Part Editor:
• Snap
The Snap functionality in the Audio Part Editor is exactly the same as in the Project
window, see
“The Snap function” on page 52.
• Auto-Scroll
When Auto-Scroll is activated on the toolbar, the window will scroll during
playback, keeping the project cursor visible in the editor. This setting can be
activated or deactivated individually for each window.
• Snap to Zero Crossing
When this option is activated, all audio edits are done at zero crossings (positions
in the audio where the amplitude is zero). This helps you avoid pops and clicks
which might otherwise be caused by sudden amplitude changes.
