Length of timeline in the Editor panel

I am new to Audition, but one learns quick. Just one thing I cannot handle. I have opened an audio file with various songs, the one after the other, and I am copying pasting one song after the other to separate files. I can see now, after cutting out half of the songs, in the Editor panel the timeline till 1.55 and there is the problem. The next song I want to cut out is longer then that. The slider in the Mixer panel allows me to shorten that time, not to make it longer. The Selection/View panel does not allow me to lengthen End or Duration.

Any help welcome!

Thanks,

Maarten

    That indicates to me that it's showing you everything that's left in the file. I suspect that you've been cutting and not copying from the original, and you have to be careful if you do that. When you cut rather than copy, the file is shortened, and that's what you are left with.

    Is this in the Waveform Editor page? If so moving the Playhead/Cursor to the end and inserting another audio file will stretch the Timeline as long as is necessary. If you have Zoomed in and can't see all the Timeline you can Zoom Out fully using the \ keyboard shortcut. If this is not the problem can you give us some more info on what you are doing and/or supply a screen grab image of your editing session page.

    Thanks. The arrow is at 1:55 so I can see 0:00 to 1:55, but I want to see 0:00 to say 10:00. See secreenshot.
