“Play From Anchor” and “Play Until Anchor” Functions

You can play back audio from an anchor or until an anchor using the Play from Anchor or Play until Anchor functions on the transport bar. These playback functions behave differently depending on the pre-roll and post-roll settings.

Play from Anchor

• If post-roll is activated, playback starts at the anchor position and stops after the post-roll time. If no post-roll is selected, playback continues until the end of the audio file or audio montage.

• If pre-roll is activated, playback starts from the selected anchor, minus the pre-roll time.

• If pre-roll and post-roll are activated, playback starts from the selected anchor, minus the pre-roll time and stops after the anchor point plus the post roll time.

• If the loop mode is activated, the pre-roll and post-roll settings are taken into account. This way you can play a loop around the edit cursor position, without having to make further range settings.

Play until Anchor

• Playback starts from the cursor, and stops at the selected anchor. If the cursor is beyond the selected anchor, playback starts at the selected anchor. If pre-roll is activated, it is taken into account.

• If pre-roll is activated, playback starts from the selected anchor minus the pre-roll time, until the selected anchor.

• If no anchor is selected, Play until Anchor is deactivated.

• The loop settings have no effect.
