Previewing Audio Files
You can preview files in the Bin or any of the media tabs. When you preview files,
Soundtrack Pro matches the sample rate of the file to the project sample rate. When
you preview looping files, Soundtrack Pro matches their tempo and key to the project
tempo and key.
To preview an audio file:
m Select the file in the Bin or any of the media tabs.
The selected file starts playing. If the project is playing when you preview a file,
Soundtrack Pro starts playback of the previewed file on the downbeat of the next
measure of the project. You can turn preview playback on and off by holding down
Option and pressing the Space bar.
Audio files tagged as loops play back repeatedly when previewed. You can control the
playback of the file being previewed using the preview controls. You can only preview
one audio file at a time.
