how to edit (re-draw) wave forms in Soundtrack Pro?

I am able to re-draw wave forms in Logic Pro with the Pencil tool to edit out noise spikes.

When I try to do the same in Soundtrack Pro the pencil tool seems not to work. What am I missing?

When I search the Soundtrack Pro manual (editing wave-forms) I get a blank page!

Trying to do compackt my noise editing work into one application (Soundtrack Pro).

Thank you for your time and patience.

Hey Walter Wedler,

Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may be referring to the Sample Edit tool, which is described on page 220 of the Soundtrack Pro 3 User Manual:

Thanks,

Thanks matt00 for replying. I know the tool that does it. The problem is drawing with the tool does nothing.

We all know that manuals enclosed with applications, software are designed to sell books, videos, tutorials. (Unless you are a programmer they are of little help.)

Like so many times I spend not hours but days to wade through miriads of solutions, videos, tutorials, manuals.

In case there are others who get stuck with the Sample Edit tool:

The reason I could not redrawe a sound wave in Soundtrack Pro like it simply worked in Logic Pro, is that it does not work the same as in Logic Pro. To change a wave's shape you must first zoom in all the way until you see the little squares (below):
