2.1 Waveform Display
The R-1 shows waveforms for all Clips in the track sheet unless you choose otherwise.
All waveforms are drawn bipolar. The 3-D tubular Clips in previous versions have been
abandoned in favor of simpler waveform displays. Waveforms allow you to more easily
see gaps in the content, fully silent edit points, clipping or near clipping, downbeats, and
similar material on separate tracks. Depending on your level of experience with using
waveforms, you may even recognize certain instruments.
Regardless of your experience viewing waveforms, you will quickly discover the power
of seeing, as well as hearing, the content. Waveform display can also be disabled.
Waveforms can be visually distracting, use screen space, and may slow down display.
If you prefer to use your ear to locate by scrubbing or playing audio, you may want to
disable waveform display.
It is also possible to display the Sound File name for each Clip. It may help to turn off
the waveform display because names are easier to read against a plain block of color.
Showing the name of the Sound File can assist import and export operations. However,
