Subject:silly question about dots :) Posted by: ATP Date:2/3/2003 4:19:00 PM i'm using SF 6.0d. when i have opened a file and i zoom in all to an 8:1 ratio and lower, i see these little dots that mark the beginning of each sample. is there a way to turn this off, as i actually find these dots less accurate and obstructing my view. i have checked every option in the settings, but i couldn't find it. thanks. :)

I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer to your question but I want to point out that I find the feature you object to very helpful. I often need to redraw small portions of the wave form to eliminate "glitches" of some kind. The dots you refer to allow me to more accurately redraw the wave-form.

The lines between are extrapolated for display purposes. Without them there is little point in zooming out so far as to be able to see individual samples .... geoff
Subject:RE: silly question about dots :) Reply by: ATP Date:2/4/2003 4:53:17 AM my point is that those dots make it hard for me to see where exactly the audio level goes from 0db to a positive value. i didn't need those dots to make accurate loops in SF 4.5, and i could really do without them now. i guess it's not possible to remove them, then?
Subject:RE: silly question about dots :) Reply by: Chienworks Date:2/4/2003 8:36:14 AM I don't think they can be removed. However, if you zoom to 6:1 you won't see them. The cursor will snap to sample positions so it's still easy to tell where the sample boundries are.

Subject:RE: silly question about dots :) Reply by: ATP Date:2/4/2003 12:00:51 PM that is indeed quite practical. thanks for the tip. still, i wouldn't object to making the dots optional (hint hint ;). anyway, i guess i'll have to live with it. i can do that. :) thanks for replying.

is there a way to turn this off, as i actually find these dots less accurate and obstructing my view. i have checked every option in the settings, but i couldn't find it.
