You can also import an audio file by dragging and dropping the audio file from your computer desktop/
folder onto the Ozone window.
The imported audio file displays as a tab in the upper portion of the screen, with the title of the
imported file. Each audio file tab, when clicked on, will display its audio file as a waveform, with an
accompanying timeline displayed in minutes/seconds/milliseconds.
Playing Back Audio Files: The Transport Bar
Ozone provides a handy transport bar, located at the top of the screen, that allows you to easily
navigate the playback functions of an imported audio file.
The transport bar includes the following functions:
Play
Click the Play button to play back the currently imported audio file.
Playback can also be initiated by pressing the space bar.
Playback will begin and you will see a playhead cursor move from left to right across the waveform.
To play back the file from a spot in the middle of the song, simply click on any desired spot of the
waveform, then press the Play button.
Stop
Click the Stop button to stop playback. The cursor will always return to the last insertion point.
Return to Zero/Skip Back
Clicking on this button has two dierent functions, depending on the current position of the playhead
within the audio file:
• If the playhead is located more than two seconds into the audio file, clicking the button invokes
a “return to Zero” function, moving the playhead back to the beginning of the current file.
• If the playhead is near the very beginning of the file, clicking the button acts as a “skip back”
button, skipping back to the previous audio file (if there is one loaded).
Skip Forward
Click this button to skip to the next audio file that has been loaded into the software. If no other files
have been loaded, the button will have no function.
Playhead Follows Playback
Clicking this button toggles the ‘stop’ behavior for the space bar and Play button. When unselected,
and playback is stopped using the space bar or Play button, the play head will return to the last
selected position. When selected, and playback is stopped using the space bar or Play button, the
playhead will retain the current position.
