Audaicty 2.4.1
Newbie question. I have recorded a complete LP. An old one that only ran 29 minutes. Exported as directed. I have imported the wave file and the entire 29 minutes of waveform are jammed on the screen. I studied the manuals but cannot find out how to expand the waveform so that the 29 minutes is spread over a larger distance. Don't want more than, say, five minutes on the screen at a time
. Thanks for your help.

Drag-select about five minutes of the show and Zoom into it with Control+E (s
Election). Zoom back out to the
Full show with Control+F. Zoom out a little bit with Control+3. I live in those three.
But there are many more.

Slide the show back and forth (sooner and later) with Shift + Scrollwheel.

There's a setting that keeps the blue waves from automatically scrolling left to right. That may be handy during recording, but it's a nightmare when you're editing. I'll find the setting any second now.
