by (or slowed down by) the visual component.
Jump to start: Moves the playhead to the beginning of the audio clip or to the
beginning of the marked region (if the Use Marked Region button is on).
Play/Pause: Starts and stops playback in the Audio Editor.
Use marked region: Restricts playback to the play range for the selected audio file.
Current Frame: Indicates the current playhead position in the Audio Editor. You can
also use this field to change the current frame.

m Drag the center of the Current Frame field. Dragging to the right advances and
dragging to the left rewinds.

forward or backward by one frame.
m Click the Current Frame field, then type a new number into the value field.
