Audacity Forum

Hi,
I was just wondering if there was a way to change the visual graph?
im currently using the default one..
and the sound the i record is basically a ticking noise that ticks every 1 second.
this ticking noise is VERY short..
so..
i can BARELY see it on the graph...as it shows up as a very skinny line.
so i was wondering if i could change the graph to a different pattern...or like a line graph or something else?
Is there a way?
and i need to record and watch the graph moving in real time.
Which i can do now, except its just hard to see that little skinny vertical line...every 1 second.
Please let me know asap.
thanks.

as u can see in the screen shot..
the line is super thin..
i can barely see it, nor can i even compare the spaces in between them..
so im just wondering if theres another way to view this graph thing.
please help me out

Everybody always leaves out Step One. What's the show? What is the purpose of your recording? You can Effect > Amplify > OK and that will increase the size of the waves and make them a little easier to see.

You can drag-select a chunk around one of them and Control-E magnify that portion. Would that be helpful?

You're also missing the other part of the show. My goal is: What? Many times we can offer shortcuts if we know exactly what you're trying to do.

You can zoom in/out using the zoom buttons:
