Re: [all-audio] A couple of gold wave questions
Greetings, Sorry this is so late but have been suffering email and pc problems for the last few weeks and only just seen your post. I am using GW V5.70 but what I write applies equally to your version. 1. To enable jumping in small increments, you need to set the zoom level. When GW opens a file, normally the screen shows in visual form the whole length, hence moving markers / arrows, moves a percentage of the whole file. In GW, go to the view menu, ensure scrollock (ctrl l) is checked, this enables arrow / marker movements. Go down the menu, you will find loads of zoom-related entries, zoom in is shift up, zoom out shift down, then there are several presets, such as zoom to ten seconds, zoom to one secont . . . what these mean is only the specified length of the file is shown on the screen hence the arrow / marker values are appropriately changed. I mostly tend to set my zoom rate at one second, which is alt with one. To help, you may care also to set the edit field in the play tab, this follows the rewind/wind forward settings and, certainly in versions before any of the V6 ones, by default is set to 0.00, I have mine set to 0.15, which means whenever I move a marker or arrow, I hear fifteen hundredths of the zoom value, in most cases this is adequate for my editting and setting this field increases both accuracy and speed of complex edits and use of other effects. 2. The three play controls are intended to be used to access the file in different ways. I have mine set as follows which gives me all the flexibility I could desire. Play1, executed by F2 is set to play all, meaning it starts at the beginning of the file. Play2, executed by F3, I have set to play selection, meaning I play anything between start and end marker. Play3, executed by F4 which, in versions below 6 is not set by default, I have set to play view, meaning it plays whatever is showing on the screen. These can be set in the play tab of control properties. When GW first opens the file all these play controls start at the beginning and play the file in it's entirity, their action is, thus, ruled by your settings of zoom, you can, therefore, see how important setting the best zoom rate for your needs is of the utmost importance. Late though I am, hope the above explanations prove to be useful and if I can assist further, having used GW in it's various forms since 2006, please get in touch.

Re: [all-audio] A couple of gold wave questions
Hi. I believe this increment moved (not just by the arrows, but by the marker movement keystrokes for start and end marker) are controlled by your zoom ratio. You'll have to experiment with the different zoom levels and see which one suits you best. I have mine set to a very short increment and it's been that way for ages, so I've just left it there, as "zoom" largely effects what is displayed visually, which is not something I'm terribly concerned about. As well as adjusting from the view menu, you can control the zoom level with shift +a number. I am not 100% sure but I think there are something like six different zoom levels available from this method, ranging from about a second to an hour. Play 1, 2 and 3 do whatever you wwant them to. This is what the adjustments in the options for these buttons are for. You can have one set to play a selection; another set to play an entire file. Or one to play a selection; the other to play what is *not* selected. Or one to play a selection looped until you hit stop. It's quite flexible. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of JOHN RIEHL via Groups.Io Sent: November 2, 2019 12:33 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: [all-audio] A couple of gold wave questions Hi.

Re: [all-audio] A couple of gold wave questions
press alt plus 1 2 3 or 4. this shorten's the skip time. play with it to see which one works best for your need. On 11/1/2019 11:33 PM, JOHN RIEHL via Groups.Io wrote: > > Hi.
