Pencil tool and much more made easy!

[clutch]

Stumbled upon a nifty little trick while using the pencil tool a lot cleaning up some clicky dialogue.

I knew that if you use a mouse with a scroll wheel you can increase the size of the waveform by shift-option-scrolling up and down but... you can also zoom into what you're doin by holding control and scrolling up!

This is a built in feature of the Mac OS I hadn't come across before that works in any program.

It freaked me out when I first did it by accident - I couldn't work out what I'd done or how to get it back to normal again!

It's quick and easy to navigate and is really good if you've been in the studio for too long and the eyes are getting weary.

Also posted in the HD/TDM forum cos I reckon it's pretty useful if you don't know about it already.

Yeah I discovered that too by accident.

Pretty cool!
