Praat for Beginners:
The Sound editor: zoom controls
- Zooming in means magnifying what you are looking at (the waveform and maybe an analysis)
- Zooming out means reducing the magnification
- The zoom buttons are in the bottom left corner below the waveform.
- They control magnification of the time scale to permit a closer look at some detail or for greater precision in placing the cursor, making cuts etc.
