You can also play parts of the sound data by selecting a portion of the
waveform display with the mouse.To play a section:
1. Click and drag the left mouse button starting at the section of silence prior
to “Wow.” Drag the mouse until you are in the portion after the “Wow.”
Notice that as you drag the data, the background appears in another color.
Release the mouse button and you will now have a highlighted section of
data.
2. Click the Play button. You should now hear just the “Wow” portion of the
file.
3. While selecting waveform data, notice that the three selection status fields
on the right side of the playbar display values. These values show you the
start (Selection Left), end (Selection Right), and length (Selection Length) of the
selection you have made.When no data is selected, the cursor position (also
called the insertion point) is displayed.
Clear the selection and put the cursor back at the start of the file. To do this,
click on the Go to Start button in the Transport toolbar.
