Track Height


Recommended Posts

Arising out of a post in "Suggestions".

This is valid for Mouse Users but (apparently) not for "Wacom" users.

The Height of a Track in the Timeline View is adjustable using Ctrl+Shift+Scroll Wheel. It can be used to quickly and temporarily adjust the Height between 75% and 400% to make accurate settings of Audio Volume easier to accomplish.

Possibly because you are using dB and I am using %?

As I said previously, I can repeatedly achieve a "resolution" of 1% with no difficulty whatsoever and the value does not "jump" when you release the Mouse Button.

Same thing for me;, as you can see on the video.

I'll try in % mode.

Done.

If I use the % mode and zoom to 400% I am able to adjust the volume with a resolution of 1%.

But ...

I spent 50 years adjusting volume in dB, and for me % is not an appropriate unit to adjust sound volume...

Does it really matter?

If you set a level in Decibels and then change to % you will always get a figure which is a whole number.

Example: -17.879dB = 13%

You cannot get a dB figure which is between the equivalent of 13% and 14% in decibels so it sort of proves that the underlying "resolution" is in percentage.

You can get 100 steps between zero dB and -inf dB so regardless of what the dB readout is you are working in Percentage mode.

P.S. Can you find a value in dB which is a whole number?
