The markers are also displayed in the timeline. They can be accessed, moved or
deleted with the mouse.
Navigation
The task of the transport controls is to help you navigate through the audio material in
the master track. Here you can find functions that you will already now from your old
tape recorder. You can get more information in the chapter Transport controls (view
page 40).
The simplest solution, howev
er, is to navigate directly in the track: a mouse click on
the time ruler will set the starting point for the playback (even if playback is already
running!) The space bar starts and stops playback.
Overview track
The overview track lets you select the project section which is displayed in the track display
(displayed in blue).
The track window now includes an additional overview track with a reduced display of
the complete project. Now you can work at a specific position or on a certain song
while maintaining an overview of the complete project and quickly navigate to areas
that need more work. In the overview track you can also select the song or position in
the material to be displayed in the track window.
Move the section to the part of the project simply by clicking in the overview track;
the zoom level remains the same. Define a new range in the overview track by clicking
and dragging. Vertical yellow lines indicate the markers in the overview track.
Use the "Overview mode" entry in the "Options" menu to show/hide the overview
track.
2 tracks
Use the "2 tracks" button to create a second stereo track, for
example, if you want to create transitions between two songs or
to "park" a song on the additional track for the meantime.
