The leftmost panel in the single wave view contains several controls for the current wave.
Use the volume control to adjust the volume of the wave during playback. You can type the volume at the top of the control or you can adjust the slider. Both controls work together and each one will change when the other one changes. If this wave is also used in the multitrack session view, its volume in the multitrack session will not be changed.
Use the pan control to adjust the pan of the wave during playback. You can type the pan at the top of the control or you can adjust the slider. As with the volume controls, both pan controls work together. These controls will not change the pan of the wave in the multitrack session, if this wave is also used in the session.
The VU meter monitors the output gain when playing the wave. If the wave clips, the top buttons of the meter will "light up". Click on them to return them to their normal state.
