"The tool menus are basically two little boxes that tell you what kind of functions you can do at that moment. If you look at the top of the arrange window right here, you're going to see these two little boxes. The pointer and there's a slicer. Now to switch between the two within that box, I just have to hold on the apple key. Once I hold on the apple key it's going to change from the first to secondary. You can change the first and secondary tools by clicking on the little down arrow. By opening up you can go to the pencil, pointer, eraser, there's a bunch of things. And once you set it up per window. So it may be like this setting on this one, but when I go down to the audio editor, the sample editor, it's going to be a completely different set of tools which I can change. And these are really important. These let you grab tools or move tools, zoom in, and draw in different, you got like different ways of drawing in things and all types of other things. These two tools are probably going to be what you use for the whole thing."
