Hi all,

Is there a way to store and recall a custom vertical (not horizontal) zoom level in Sound Forge 10?

Thanks
Iain

Sound Forge is an audio editing program.

Are you describing a video motion?

If not, which audio effect or process are you working with?

If you're talking about zooming into your timeline, try using your keyboard's up and down arrows.

If you're talking about widening the view of your timeline tracks, have you tried dragging between the panels to widen the timeline panel -- or using a different Windows Layout under the View menu?

Steve, Iain is asking about the vertical size of the waveform display. This is adjusted with the +/- buttons at the left end of the scroll bar.

Indeed, Chienworks.

I am sure Steve's reply is well-intended, but I don't need to be reminded that Sound Forge is an audio editing program! -_-

Under Preferences > Display > Custom Zoom Ratio, it's possible to specify two horizontal zoom ratios that can be recalled. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to also specify vertical zoom ratios for recall.

So it's necessary to manually increase the vertical zoom for each opened waveform. :(

If you have to zoom in vertically every time i'd start wondering why the volume of your files is so low. That would be a more important problem to fix.

Wow, patronized again. Nice.

You have no idea what material I'm working on, or why I might need to zoom in. Please don't jump to conclusions.

The vertical wave form size display can be changed quickly by Ctrl. key + mouse scroll wheel. There's other size display shortcuts as well. RTM
