Accidental view change HELP

Post by xmaganzx » Sat Jul 22, 2017 1:43 pm

I was editing some tracks today and I somehow put in a keystroke that changed my view. It now has partial shading (that seems to be not affecting anything that I can do) over the top and bottom of each waveform. Anyone know how to change it back?
