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.
• Other special keyboard commands are available to jump between
