PLAYING A FILE
To play an opened sound file:
1. Click on the Play All button on the Transport toolbar.
2. While the file is playing, a pointer will move along the data window
showing the current position. You will also see the current position in the
first selection status field in the playbar.
3. Play the TUTOR1 file now.You will hear the words “Wow, sound editing just
gets easier and easier.”
You can begin play from any point in the window by moving the cursor.
1. Move your mouse pointer to the silence section right after the “Wow”
portion of the file. Left-click (make sure you don’t drag the mouse) and you
will see the flashing cursor in the silence area after the word “Wow.” Click
the Play button on the Transport toolbar and now you will only hear “sound
editing just gets easier and easier.”
2. If you don’t hear anything, you may have accidentally selected a small
portion of data by dragging the mouse. To see whether you’ve made a
selection, look at the three right-hand status fields in the data window
status bar. If only the first one is filled, then no data is selected. If they all
have values, click in the data window again to clear the selection.
