Overview Bar Settings
The overview bar is the full-song waveform that appears above the main waveform view. It gives you a bird’s-eye view of the entire track, lets you jump to any position quickly, and shows your loops and sections at a glance.
Auto-Hide
When you’re zoomed in close on the waveform, the overview bar can take up valuable screen space. Auto-hide solves this by showing the bar only when it’s most useful.
To configure auto-hide:
- Open Settings
- Find the Overview Bar section
- Toggle Auto-hide on or off
Zoom Threshold
When auto-hide is enabled, you can set the zoom level at which the bar appears and disappears:
- Range: 1.1x to 5.0x zoom
- Step increment: 0.1x
- Lower values — the bar hides even at shallow zoom levels
- Higher values — the bar stays visible until you’re zoomed in quite far
Adjust the threshold stepper to find the level that feels right for your workflow. If you frequently zoom in to 2x or 3x and still want the overview visible, set a higher threshold.
Manual Visibility
When auto-hide is off, the overview bar is always visible regardless of zoom level. This is a good choice if you navigate the track frequently and prefer having the full waveform in view at all times.
Tip: If you’re working on a long track and switch between sections often, keeping auto-hide off makes navigation faster. For detailed editing of short passages, enable auto-hide to reclaim screen space.
