Drag an audio file between two channel strips. This creates a new channel strip with the
Playback plug-in inserted. The (dragged) audio file is automatically loaded into this new
Playback instance. You can drag multiple files between channel strips to create a new
channel strip for each file.
Note: Using either of the first two methods, you can preview files in the dialog before
adding one to the Playback instance. To preview the selected audio file in the dialog,
click the Play button. Click the Stop button in the dialog to stop playback.
Using the Playback Shortcut Menu
The Playback window includes a shortcut menu that lets you add, name, and remove
markers in the waveform display. You access the shortcut menu by Control-clicking the
waveform display. The shortcut menu contains the following commands.

field. Enter the name, then press Return or click outside the name field.
• Remove Marker: Removes the marker to the left of the current position.
• Rename Marker: Opens a name field for the marker nearest to the clicked position.
Enter a new name, then press Return or click outside the name field.
