7 – 142 Playback and recording
Select the desired options in the FROM and TO sections of the dialog to
define an audio range.
You can specify audio ranges to play back From/To:
• Start/End of the file, respectively.
• The Cursor position.
• Start/End of selection.
• Named Markers.
• User specified time positions (Custom).
In addition you can specify an offset for any range position.
The playback buttons work like this:
• In the Options section of the dialog, the audio range to be processed can
be set more precisely. You must first set a FROM position, then set a spe-
cific length in seconds in the Options section. For this to work, the “Spec-
ify length” option must be activated.
• Using the “Snap to zero-crossing” function, you can make sure that the
start and end of the selected range snap to a zero-crossing of the wave-
form.
This prevents click noise that could otherwise occur when start and end are played back.
• The “Channels” pop-up menu lets you select which channel(s) should be
played back.
• The “Play duration” option is used to set the desired playback length.
Note that this overrides the set “From” or “To” selection range. If the audio range is set to
play to “End of selection”, the selection is 4 seconds long and the Play duration is set to 2
seconds, only the last 2 seconds before the end will play back.
Play to The range before the set position is played back.
Play from The range after the set position is played back.
Play once The set range is played back once.
Play looped The set range is played back as a loop until you click on the Stop
button that becomes visible during playback.
