[Avid-L2] Re: audio waveforms

 

Steve,

What I meant is that if you enlarge the track (command-l) enough to see a db scale and then play the clip and watch the meters, the levels will match. But that's only true if you don't enlarge waveforms with command-option-l -- ie. you shrink them by hitting command-option-k a few times.

Not true?

Steve

If you then hit command-option-l you get an enlarged view. I usually am more interested in actually seeing waveforms, rather than measuring levels, so I usually leave them enlarged.
