Zooming and Scrolling

How to zoom and scroll in Acoustica

You can zoom in to get a more detailed view in an editing window. You can zoom either horizontally to view a smaller part of the recording or vertically to show a smaller amplitude range. In those cases where only a part of the recording is shown, a scroll bar is visible below the visualization of the wave form. You can use the scroll bar to view other parts of the recording.

Horizontal zoom

There are three ways to zoom horizontally:

Option 1 (mouse)

Use the mouse scroll wheel upwards to zoom in, or downwards to zoom out.

Option 2 (keyboard)

Press the arrow up key to zoom in, or the arrow down key to zoom out. Note: For the keyboard arrows to work, the waveform overview windows has to be selected

Option 3 (zoom in/out buttons)

Use the zoom-in or zoom-out buttons which are located underneath the waveform overview in the right corner.

Vertical zoom
