Embarrasingly Simple Question
Hello,
I feel really stupid. I have Avid Xpress Pro on PC and I just need to know the hotkey to get the levels and waveform on audio. I just want to be able to do a little fade within Avid.
Thanks for your help,
Adam

I don’t know that there is a hotkey. I use timeline views (it’s a pulldown menu, middle left bottom of the time line window). Adjust your timeline the way you like it, then click on the timeline view and click save as… A dialog will pop up, and you can call it whatever you’d like. I have a normal view, big audio 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6.
I don’t think you can map that function, but it wouldn’t suprise me if you could….

To get the audio waveform, go to the hamburger menu on the left bottom corner of the timeline. About midway up you the menu you’ll see 3 choices you can try to see which one suits you best, but you probably want “sample plot”. But first you’ll probably want to expand the width of the audio tracks like Jon suggested so that you can see the waveform more clearly. You do that by placing your cursor between audio tracks numbers on the left side of the timeline. When the cursor turn to a black line with arrows pointing up and down, click and hold as you drag down or up to expand of contract the track width. Avid doesn’t have “hotkeys”, that’s not an Avid term. We call them keyboard shortcuts. And for Pete’s sake, there’s no reason to feel stupid ya big dummy! This forum is for the basics.
