Transport control
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + T
The transport console window contains the most important commands for playback,
recording, and positioning.
Play / Stop / Forward / Rewind: These buttons let you control position, just like with
a tape.
Right clicking the "Play" button: This opens the "Stereo master" mode's playback
parameters window. You can specify the sample rate, playback device,
scrubbing/varipitch options here.
Right click the "Record" button: Opens the recording parameters window. Adjust
recording settings like "Play while recording" here. You can also start a mono or
stereo recording straight from this window.
Record button: Starts the recording for all activated tracks, i.e. tracks with a red "R"
button in the track info to the left. The recording devices must be set to "R" with a
right click.
Time display: Displays the current playback position. The units can be selected by
clicking on the small triangle.
Area buttons: Using the "1" and "2" you can save areas. You can re-open previously
used areas using the arrow symbol.
L/E time display: Displays the length and end position of an area and can be edited by
double clicking.
Marker button: Opens the Marker Manager for detailed marker editing. You can find
more information in the "Managers" chapter.
Marker buttons 1...12: The current playback position can be saved on each of the 12
marker buttons. If one position has been saved, the marker will appear bright. Another
click on the same marker moves the play position to the corresponding marker. The
marker bank can be reset with right-click, after which it can be re-assigned anew.
Audio flip menu: Here you can set the appropriate recording mode.
Standard mode (playback during recording): This is the typical recording mode
during multi-track productions: Additional tracks will be recorded in addition to
already existing audio material.
