Auditioning Projects and Controlling Playback
While working on a project, you’ll want to hear the regions, tracks, pauses, and
crossfades. You can control project playback with the Transport controls or by moving
the Position Line.

You can control project playback and set the location of the Position Line with the
Transport controls, located at the bottom center of the Wave View area.

marker. If the project is currently playing, playback continues from this point.
•
Go to next track start marker: Sets the Position Line to the next track start marker. If
the project is currently playing, playback continues from this point.
