Pencil Editing
This device is provided for sample-to-sample level editing of your waveform. Though not as useful for general waveform drawing, it can be very useful for eliminating tiny clicks and pops that will show up if you are zoomed in closely on the waveform. It will not become active until you’ve zoomed into this level. You can access this feature by using the Pencil icon located in the toolbar or using the Ctrl + E Hotkey.
Remember, you must be zoomed in before this feature this will activate. Watch your pencil icon; when you’ve reached the correct zoom in resolution, it changes from grayed-out to active.

Manually De-clicking With the Pencil Icon (Tutorial)
- Zoom in on your problem area using the Zoom icon (a click will look like a sharp mountain peak).
- Single click on the pencil icon with the left mouse button. The button will remain down and the pencil will be movable via your mouse.
- Move the pencil along the waveform area and depress the left mouse button to make the pencil write a new signal.
- Sometimes, just drawing a flat line in place of an impulsive “click” will remove the click and leave no discernable audio residue, especially if the event only lasts a few samples in length.
