The Now time and how to use it

Controlling playback

The Now time marker

In the Track view, the Now time appears as a black vertical line. When you set the Now time in the

Track view a green triangle called the Now time marker appears in the Time Ruler. This marker

represents the point at which the Now time will snap back to after you stop playback or recording.

Figure 29. The Now Time marker

You can drag the Now Time marker during playback. When the mouse button is released, the

transport immediately jumps to the new location.

You can change the Now time marker behavior so that the marker moves to the current Now time

when playback or recording is stopped (on the Track view Options menu, clear the On Stop,

Rewind to Now Marker option).

To change the Now time marker behavior

On the Track view Options menu, clear the On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker option to have the

Now time marker move to follow the current Now time when you stop playback.

On the Track view Options menu, select the On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker option to have the

Now time snap back to the Now time marker when you stop playback.

Note: You can only drag the Now Time marker during playback, not while recording.
