Regardless of your chosen DAW, there are a few basic navigational skills that we all have to learn before we can record or edit audio.

  1. Play/Stop from different Starting places in the DAW Timeline
    • Beginning, Middle, End, etc
  2. Toggle between the Edit and Mix Window
  3. Change Track Heights
  4. Zoom In/Out on waveform
  5. Zoom to show entire session (ALL the Clips in the Edit Window)
