If you have a lot of audio, you may prefer for the audio chunks to take up less space on the screen. You can temporarily change the audio pane with Zoom. This is a button in the bar at the top of the pane . By default Zoom just shortens each chunk to a quarter of its normal size.
You can set up how the audio pane normally looks and how Zoom will re-size the chunks in App Menu → System → Settings → Chunk Sizes.
Moving the slider to the left will compress your audio chunks further, while moving it to the right will expand the chunks; altering these settings can make the Zoom button either zoom in or zoom out when pressed.
