Previewing Clips in the Clip
List
You can preview audio and MIDI clips and clip
groups in the Clip List. Previewing follows the
master Audition path as selected in the Output
page of the I/O Setup. The base level for preview-
ing is determined by the Master Fader (or Auxil-
iary Input) level assigned to the Audition path.
To preview a clip in the Clip List:
 Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) the
clip name.
Audio clips and clip groups play back through the
specified Audition Path (see “Audition Paths” on
page 97).
Sample-based clips play back at their native
tempo. Tick-based MIDI and Elastic Audio pro-
cessed clips play back at the session tempo (based
on the location of the playback cursor). You can
also preview clips from the Clip List during ses-
sion playback.
MIDI clips play back using the Default Thru In-
strument selected in the MIDI Preferences page
(see “The Default Thru Instrument” on page 479).
Auditioning Discrete Signals in
Multichannel Items
In the Clip List, multichannel clips are auditioned
through the Audition Path specified in the I/O
Setup. Signals can be auditioned “in-place,” or
through all outputs, as described below.
Audition In-Place
When auditioning a mono component of a mono
component clip, the mono clip can be played from
the corresponding channel of its parent mono com-
ponent clip. This playback method is called audi-
tion in-place.
To audition in-place:
1 In the Clip List, make sure the stereo or multi-
channel clip is in expanded view (showing .L,
.R, and other component channels).
2 Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) the
clip for the channel you want to audition.
Audition to All Outputs
When auditioning a mono component of a mono
component clip, the clip can be routed equally to
all outputs of the parent clip’s Audition Path.
To audition through all channels of the main
audition path:
 Shift-Option-click (Mac) or Shift-Alt-click
(Windows) on the signal in the Clip List.
The Preview Volume control in the Import
Audio dialog also affects the preview
volume when auditioning clips in the
Clip List.
