Audio Scaling
Audio scaling is the increase or decrease in the size (scale) of the waveform in clip. Audio scaling allows
you to make detailed edits by zooming in on the parts of the waveform closest to the zero crossing
(silence) while preserving the track size. By showing just the quietest parts of a clip, you can make very
precise edits.
The Audio Scale Ruler is located on the far left of the Loop Construction view.
Audio Scale Ruler
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.
