Zoom in on the waveform. + button on bottom right of timeline display.

The Pencil Edit tool only comes live at a sensible level of zoom. Otherwise all you could possibly do would be gross damage to a waveform.

To elaborate on what Geoff and I previously stated, the Pencil tool maximum zoom ratio can be set via, Options> Preferences> Editing tab "Pencil tool maximum zoom ratio".
But as Geoff stated, re-drawing the waveform zoomed out, would certainly do more harm than good.

Thanks. The zooming worked.

I've used it before and was always zoomed, but as I started anew with a new recording, for some reason I tried to initiate the pencil edit without zooming. Go figure.

Thanks again.

Back in the day it took me a few months to figure it out - why sometimes it was there and other times it wasn't !

Anyway, back to my fantastic vinyl recording of the Doobie Brothers.
