Cueing to a precise location—Preview
When you are editing the performance of an audio track or sequence track, there are
times when you need to determine a precise editing location, such as the beginning
of a specific sound or the point where a break begins. By using the
Preview function
you can search for the desired point while listening to the sound, and adjust the
location with great precision.
