Waveform display

Controls how much of a sound’s waveform (amplitude representation) is displayed in the Time Slider. Default is Top.

Top

Displays only the top half of the sound.

Bottom

Displays only the bottom half of the sound.

All

Displays the full waveform.

Repeat on hold

Specifies that a sound continuously repeats at the current time as you hold down the mouse button until you drag the Current Time Indicator to the next time in the Time Slider. Useful for locating a particular sound in a soundtrack. Default is off.

Repeat size

Specifies how much sound (in the current time unit) is repeated when you turn on Repeat on Hold. 1 specifies the smallest segment of sound—about one-third of a time unit in duration, with the other two-thirds being silent. 2 specifies about half a time unit of sound, the rest being silence. 3 species that the sound loops for that time unit. Only available if Repeat on Hold is on.
