lection.

cluding pre- and post-roll if enabled.
Auditioning Pre- and Post-Roll
You can audition and play just the pre-roll or
post-roll material for a selection.
To play from the pre-roll point to the start of a
selection, or to the current cursor location:
■ Press Alt+Left Arrow (Windows) or Op-
tion+Left Arrow (Macintosh).
To play to the post-roll point from the end of a
selection, or from the current cursor location:
■ Press Control+Right Arrow (Windows) or
Command+Right Arrow (Macintosh).
Auditioning Start and End Points for
Selections
There may be times when you want to audition
the start or end of a selection without hearing
the entire selection. This allows you to check,
for instance, whether the beginning or end of a
selection includes any unwanted clicks or pops.
To audition a selection start point:
■ Press Control+Left Arrow (Windows) or Com-
mand+Left Arrow (Macintosh).
When auditioning the beginning of a selection,
the selection plays from the start point for a du-
ration equal to the post-roll amount.
Peak transients are usually visible in the
waveform. However, some low-frequency
transients may not appear as visible peaks
in the waveform.
