    Expanding Audio and Video Tracks for audio editing

     Good Morning

         I switched from Xpress Pro to Media Composer a few weeks ago. I Used to get into alot of detail with my audio sweetning, in Xpress Pro I could change the size of the audio and video tracks so that I could go into fine detail setting and moving audio keyframes. But I can't seem to figure out why I can't do it in MC. The guy in the CD-Rom I got was able to do it. Any help would be great.

    Do you mean enlarging the "height" of the tracks?  It should be CTRL-L (for larger) ..... and CTRL-K (for smaller).  You can also place the cursor on the track edge, turning the cursor into cross-hairs, and dragging.

    You can also use ctrl [ to decrease track detail horizontally or ctrl ] to increases track detail. This has helped me alot in making clean edits with audio.

    It should be the same action no matter if you're on XpressPro or Composer or whatever.
