Using the Shortcut Menu
You can quickly and easily access many Soundtrack Pro features with the shortcut menu
(also known as the contextual menu). Using the shortcut menu by Control-clicking
items in the Soundtrack Pro interface is often more convenient than using the menu
bar at the top of the screen. If you have a three-button mouse connected to your
computer, you can right-click to access the same controls specified by the Control-click
commands in the user documentation (for example, “Control-click the Toolbar, then
choose Customize Toolbar from the shortcut menu”).
Playing Projects
You can play both multitrack and audio file projects as you work, so you can hear the
audio in the project along with the changes you’ve made.
To play the project:
m Click the Play button in the transport controls (or press the Space bar). Click the Play
button (or press the Space bar) again to stop playback.
As the project plays, the playhead shows the point in the project currently playing.
Soundtrack Pro lets you set the playhead and control playback of your projects in
several different ways. You can use the transport controls or keyboard commands to
start and stop playback and set the playhead to different points in time. You can also
set a cycle region to repeat playback of a specific part of the project.
