• If there is no selection and “Show Event” is deactivated, playback will start at
the cursor position.
• If the Audition Loop icon is activated, playback will continue repeatedly until
you deactivate the Audition Loop icon. Otherwise, the section will be played
back once.
NOTE
There is a separate Play button for auditioning regions.
Using the Speaker tool
If you click somewhere in the waveform display with the Speaker (“Play”) tool
and keep the mouse button pressed, the clip is played back from the position
where you click. Playback will continue until you release the mouse button.
Using key commands
If you activate the “Playback Toggle triggers Local Preview” option in the
Preferences dialog (Transport page), you can start/stop auditioning by
pressing [Space]. This is the same as clicking the Audition icon on the toolbar.
The Sample Editor also supports the “Preview start” and “Preview stop” key
commands in the Media category of the Key Commands dialog. These key
commands stop the current playback, whether you are in normal playback or
in audition mode.
