Navigating Your Project

 Shuttle Rewind and Shuttle Forward: Repeated key presses will increase the winding

speed. Repeated hits of the opposing shuttle key will slow down the shuttle speed,
and eventually change the winding direction. Shuttle disables Cycle mode. Shuttling
is halted by the Stop command.

 Go to Selection End: Moves the playhead to the end of the first selected region or

event in the active window.

Note: There are also as a large number of Go To key commands for markers available.
For further information, see “

Using Cycle Mode

You can use Cycle mode to repeatedly play a selected passage. This is useful for:

 Composing a section of a project (a verse or chorus, for example).
 Practicing, before making a recording.
 Recording individual tracks consecutively.
 Editing events.
 Recording multiple takes.

The cycle area is defined by the position of the left and right locators. When Cycle
mode is active, it is shown as a green stripe in the top part of the Bar ruler.
