Recording Meter Toolbar: Click Start Monitoring before recording, watch the bars and if they start to turn red, you’re audio is too loud and at risk for clipping (the same is true for the Playback Meter Toolbar to the right of it).This is where you would select which microphone you’re recording on.

Audio Setup Toolbar: This allows you to set up how audio will be recorded and played back.There’s also trim audio, which removes all audio except for what's selected, silence audio which does the inverse, and the undo and redo buttons. Edit Toolbar: Contains zoom-in and zoom-out, zoom-to selection, fit-to-width (which fits the entire track to the width of the screen), and a zoom toggle tool.Tools Toolbar: Contains the selection tool, the envelope tool which allows you to make smooth adjustments to the volume at different points on the track, the draw tool which you can use to redraw waveforms (advanced), and the multi-tool which allows you to switch between the other tools in the toolbar as well as zoom in and out by right-clicking.
