Editing Waveforms with the
Pencil Tool
The Pencil tool enables you to destructively “re-
draw” audio waveform data, automation and
MIDI note and controller data.
To destructively edit an audio waveform with the
Pencil tool:
1 Locate the area you want to edit.
2 Adjust the track height.
3 Use the ZOOM or NAV buttons, in conjunc-
tion with the cursor quadrant, to zoom in to the
sample level. When you are zoomed in far
enough, the waveform will appear as a continu-
ous thin line and the Pencil tool will become
available.
4 Press PENCIL in the EDIT TOOL section.
5 Use the mouse to carefully redraw the desired
area. If you make a mistake, press UNDO.
MIDI Editing modes are editable in the same
way as audio regions in that notes, durations,
velocity can all be edited “offline.”
SEL ADJ Mode
Select Adjust mode provides a way to make and
adjust region selections in the Edit window of
Pro Tools via the quadrant switches and
Scrub/Shuttle wheel.

counter-clockwise direction, press the PREVI-

ward or backwards against the Pro Tools time-

Scrub/Shuttle wheel in either direction.
