Transport Toolbar

The Control Toolbar, used for playing and recording

Play: If an area of track is selected, only that selection will be played. Otherwise, playback begins wherever the editing cursor is. To start playback from the beginning, choose Skip to Start.

File:Loop.png Loop: Hold down Shift while pressing Play to loop the current selection or the whole track, playing it over and over again until you press Stop.

Record: Recording begins at either the current cursor location or at the beginning of the current selection. Pressing Record always creates a new track, but holding down Shift while pressing Record starts the recording at the end of the currently selected track(s).

Stop: will stop playing or recording immediately.

Pause: will temporarily pause playing or recording without losing your place. Press Pause a second time to resume.

Skip to Start: move the cursor to the beginning of the audio. This is useful if you want to play everything, or record a new track starting from the beginning.

Skip to End: move the cursor to the end of the audio.
