The markers are also displayed in the timeline. They can be accessed, moved
or deleted with the mouse.
Navigation
The task of the transport controls is to help you navigate through the audio
material in the master track. Here you can find functions that you will already
now from your old tape recorder. You can get more information in the chapter
Transport controls (view page 40).
The simple
st solution, however, is to navigate directly in the track: a mouse
click on the time ruler will set the starting point for the playback (even if
playback is already running!) The space bar starts and stops playback.
Overview track
The overview track lets you select the project section which is displayed in the
track display (displayed in blue).
The tracks window now includes an additional overview track with a reduced
display of the complete project. Now you can work at a certain position or on
a certain song and keep an overview of the complete project and quickly
navigate to areas that need work. In the overview track, you can also select
the song or position in the material to be depicted in the track window.
Move the section to the part of the project simply by clicking in the overview
track; the zoom level remains the same. Define a new range in the overview
track by clicking and dragging. Vertical yellow lines indicate the markers in the
overview track.
Use the "Overview mode" entry in the "Options" menu to show/hide the
overview track.
2 tracks
Use the "2 tracks" button to create a second stereo track, for example, if
you want to create transitions between two songs or to "park" a song on
the additional track for the meantime.
