The time display indicates the current playback position (using
the measurement unit selected via Options > Measurement units
(view page 161))
Use the transport control to start and stop playback, move forward and
backward within the project and set the position line back to the very
beginning.
Loop: Clicking on the loop button starts playback an endless loop.
This function is useful if you wish to monitor transitions or effect
settings in critical sections and therefore want to listen to certain
ranges or objects repeatedly. You can extend or shorten the loop
range in the Timeline by using the mouse or by entering changes
numerically in the "Playback parameters" window (options menu).
Return to start: Resets the position line to the start of the project (also
works during playback).
Rewind/Fast-forward: Rewind/fast-forward first starts slowly, then
quickly speeds up if you continue to hold the rewind or FF button. This
corresponds to the functionality of a tape recorder which also takes
some time to gain speed.
Alt + Click on this button lets you jump to the next or previous marker.
Stop: Stops playback, the position line jumps back to the starting
position.
Play: Starts playback, clicking again stops playback at the current
position.
Recording: Opens the record dialog where you can set the recording
format, level etc. The actual recording is started in the record dialog.
Control functions of the keyboard and mouse:
 The space bar starts or stops playback.
 A simple mouse-click in the timeline above the track moves the position line to
the corresponding position (also works during playback).
 The Pos 1 key moves the position bar back to the start of the project.
 Use the position slider to quickly move the playback cursor within the project.
