  Audio waveform not showing

  Again new to Avid MC. Want audio waveform to be visible. Went to fast menu and selected it but it is still not showing up.: /

  Thanks again.

  Go to your Timeline settings, click on the Display tab, and make sure “Show Marked Waveforms” is unchecked.

  Also, on your timeline, click the arrow to the right of the top left timecode display. It will expand little boxes out on the record side track panels. Check the waveform marking there (first little box). See if that helps.

  if your talking about in the source monitor, then you need to press toggle source/record button.

  Theres a ton of free tutorials that will get you up to speed in MC..i suggest checking them out or at least reading the documentation that comes with Avid.

  I have done the tutorial before a few times that came with the software, and have also a pdf editing guide. I did what it said, and still have not been able to see the waveform. I will try the advise here Thanks .

  I prefer to have the setting on and expand the timeline control panel so I can select which tracks show waveforms.
