Tracks Squished Vertically

[sachink]

Hi all,

I have a project in which I have many tracks. Now, the issue is that the tracks used to be nice and spaced out and I could see individual peaks and troughs and could place the cursor anywhere I liked within a track to listen to it. Now, once I imported an mp3 file into the project, all the tracks have their wave-forms squished up vertically. How do I unsqusih them?

In case that description didn’t make sense, here is a picture.

Thanks.

Sachin

So is the picture how you want the tracks to look? That picture is the standard track height. You cannot create mono tracks taller than that, though you can drag them taller.

I would guess you have enabled “Automatically fit tracks vertically zoomed” in the Tracks section of Preferences. Edit > Preferences, uncheck that box, then click OK. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tracks_preferences.html .

you need to give the web address of the picture, not the address of the page holding the picture. I fixed it for you.
