Auditioning segments

After you have populated your tracks in a segment, you can audition your segment tracks at any point in the Transport Control. To play back specific points in a clip you can use the play cursor to indicate where you want the playback to start.

When auditioning your segment you can listen to all the tracks as a whole or you can mute or solo individual tracks to listen to the content of each track as needed. You can also force only one sub-track to play back.

To audition a track in the Transport Control:

  1. Load a Music Segment into the Music Segment Editor.

    All the tracks and sub-tracks in the Music Segment are loaded into the Music Segment Editor and the Music Segment is loaded into the Transport Control.

  2. If you want to audition the entire segment, click Play in the Transport Control.

  3. To mute or solo a music track, click the Mute or Solo buttons in the track control area.

  4. If you want to play from a location along the track's timeline, drag the play cursor to the location where you want playback to begin.

Forcing sub-tracks to play

When a random or sequence track is played back, the sub-tracks play in their random or sequence order. If you are experimenting with clips in a particular sub-track, you might find it useful to be able to audition your changes by overriding the random or sequence behavior for the track and forcing the playback of that sub-track.

To force a sub-track to play:

  1. In the Music Segment Editor, click the Force Usage icon to force that sub-track to play in the Transport Control.

    The icon turns blue, and the selected sub-track will play in the Transport Control.

  2. To turn off this option, click the Force Usage icon again.

    [Tip]Tip

    In the Transport Control, click >> to open the Reset menu and select Reset All Music Tracks Force Usage to remove this setting.
