Video Transcript

"I'm going to show you how to view audio through blocks now. So when you go up to your audio window, you can look at an audio file like this one. Right now it's on a volume within the view which is under the record. You can go to blocks and it's going to just show the block, it actually shows some types of fades as well. But it's not going to show you the actual wave forms, it's just going to show you the blocks so you know where there's audio data and where there isn't audio data. This, this is helpful cause you can just, if, if everything is aligned to a grid you can move it, you can move the box together too. If you, let's see if we can go to a grid right now. Take this, I can actually consolidate this one. I can just move these, these verses anywhere within my track. I can actually rearrange them and do anything I want with them. See, I wanted to a grab the second verse and replace it with the first verse. I can just grab it right here. Copy it, take this one and move it over there."
