"In this clip, I will tell you how to change the size of your tracks and the different viewing perimeters of your tracks. So, they all start in a medium size view; which, sometimes, as you can see in this session, with sixteen channels is too big to see everything. So, one of the short-cuts for this, if you click option and click just next to where it says wave form; which is a type of view you are looking at, you will hit, you will see size. So to go to the smallest is micro that will allow me to see all my channels on one page. When you are in the micro view, it gives different view setting where you have different menus. You will have to go through from the view up to height to get back to your actual size. So, I am going to take it to medium, that way you can see when I hit Option it will change all of them here. We will go to volume. Now, this line represents the volume of all of these audio files. So, each line represents its corresponding audio file for volume as well as mute and pan. And wave form is the actual audio file that most people would be using. Blocks, takes away that to allow your computer to process a little more and make it a little easier to view."
