Transport Buttons

This area contains checkboxes for buttons that literally transport the playhead through
the project. Please see “

Using the Transport Buttons

” on page 108 (in this chapter) for

an explanation of the individual functions and commands.

Display Area

This section primarily serves to inform you of the playhead and locator positions, but
can also be used to navigate through the project.

 Positions (SMPTE/Bar): Indicates the current position of the playhead. The top row

shows the position in SMPTE format (hours : minutes : seconds : frames), the bottom
row in bars, beats, divisions, and ticks.

 Locators (Left/Right): The top row indicates the left locator position, the bottom row

the right locator position. Locators are used to define a particular section of the
project for a number of recording or playback tasks.
