How to zoom level in Vegas 2.x ?

Version 1.x of Vegas allowed you to zoom into the level of the waveform. Inotherwords, in quiet areas, where the waverform is very small, you could zoom in on the level (as opposed to time) to look at detail in the waveform. It was exactly the way Sound Forge has always worked: seperate zoom time and zoom level controls.

It appears that since version 2.0, this functionality has been replaced with "track level zoom", which merely increases the overall size of the track area on the screen without changing the scale of the waveform within the track area. This change, in my opinion, is not very useful.

Does anyone know if there is a way to zoom into waveform detail in Vegas 2.x ? ? ?

Thanks,

If you have a wheel mouse, you can zoom with that, or you can drag either edge of the horizontal scroll bar(just below the timeline).

I believe you are correct jdupre in that you cannot zoom in on the waveform without increasing the size of the track. I usually grab the bottom edge of a track and drag it downward to increase the size of the audio track until I can see the detail I need.

It would be cool to be able to increase the scale of the waveforms without increasing the vertical height of the track because often you can't get in close enough without covering the whole screen. Are we missing something here? Is there a way to do this Sonic Foundry?

Thanks for responding SonicEPM but we don't want to zoom in time, we want to zoom in by vertical scale of the waveform, like you can in Sound Forge.

You can make the waveform appear vertically larger or smaller within the region by holding "Shift" and pressing the up or down arrows.

Thanks that's what I was looking for. Should have checked the help file I guess!

It would be even better to assign the F keys to different views.
Such as F1 showing 8 tracks at a time,F2 showing 2 trax at a time.Being able to save different views as presets would be great!!!
