The Control window is the interface for playback and recording. On the bottom half of the window are visuals that display sound during playback and recording. On the top left area of the window is a standard set of audio controls, including play, stop, record, rewind, pause, and fast forward. Use the expander button on the far right to reveal some of these and other controls. A status visual is located to the right of these controls. A level visual is located in between or below. Volume and speed controls are located in the next row.
The Control window can be resized to change the size of the visuals or to hide them. Use the expander button on the far right to change the size of the window.
