Minimize Peaks

Is there a way to minimize a waveform inside the media item in Reaper like in PT......

Try shift+cursor down!

thanks man... but it seems that I have it the smallest, I can only maximize.. But there should be a way to actually minimize it more... wish there was as now my waveform are all close to peak and they just look too big

Hey Makki, unless you haven't assigned these keys to other functions or have some macro-prog installed which could override these settings, with holding the shift key down while pressing cursor up or cursor down, the view of the waveform gets zoomed in or aut vertically without changing the signal, but the mimimum zoom is 0 dBFS. Zooming out further would only leave empty spaces. So I'm just curious. What do you expect to see beyond this? There are posibilities to minimize the display of the waveform, but these will also have an effect on the signal. You could grab the upper edge of the item and drag it down. You could right click on an item and go to "Take -> Take volume envelope" and check it, then move the appearing line down. You could go to "Preferences -> Appearence -> Media" and check "Scale peaks by pre FX volume/pan envelope" and then create an envelope for "Volume (Pre-FX)" and pull the appearing envelope line down. If the line bothers you after pulling it down, uncheck "Visible". There maybe others - even the one you search for, but I can't think of another at the moment. -Data

Hey Thanks again Mr Data, the keys are working fine, but didn't know you can minimize to only 0 db. What I wanted was to minimize more than 0 db with out affecting the signal meaning just for display, as to make it easier for editing and when i minimize the Track display itself. The main reason for this is cuz some of the media are samples, so they have already been recorded very well, just about -0.1 db. This way they to look close to blocks especially when you minimize the track vertically. PT does it for Audio and Midi with out affecting the signal and just wanted to know if the same can be done. No worries and thanks again

Hey Makki, no prob'm at all! :) Thought, that you didn't want to change the signal. And I see, just seeing blocks if the tracks are narrow is somehow boring. -Data
