The Audio Montage 19 – 399
Playing back
Playback in the Audio Montage works in much the same way as in the
Wave windows. However, there are some extra things to note:
• Audio tracks are normally routed through the Master Section.
This allows you to add global effects to the Audio Montage or use the Render function to
create a mixdown audio file, separate audio files in case of a multichannel Montage or an in-
termediary Basic Audio CD (see “Mixing down – The Render function” on page 527).
You can also choose to route the audio from a track to the nearest track above (see “About
the “Upper Track” output option” on page 482), for use with clip effects that allow modulat-
ing audio inputs (such as side-chain compressors, duckers, etc.).
The routing is done using the “Route to” options on the track pop-up menu.
• The loop settings on the Transport bar apply as in the Wave windows.
If the “Loop Selection” mode is selected, playback will loop within the boundaries of the
current selection range (see “Selection ranges” on page 413). This selection range may be
on any track – you can even make a “selection” on an empty track. This vertical position of
the selection range is of no relevance for loop playback, only the left and right selection
boundaries matter.
