Auditioning Start and End Points for Selections

There may be times when you want to audition the start or end of an audio selection without hearing the entire selection. This allows you to check, for instance, whether the beginning or end of a selection includes any unwanted clicks or pops.

To audition a selection start point:

Press Command+Left Arrow (Mac) or Control+Left Arrow (Windows).

When auditioning the beginning of a selection, the selection plays from the start point for a duration equal to the post-roll amount.

To audition a selection start point with pre‑roll:

Press Command+Option+Left Arrow (Mac) or Control+Alt+Left Arrow (Windows).

To audition a selection end point:

Press Option+Right Arrow (Mac) or Alt+Right Arrow (Windows).

When auditioning the end of a selection, playback begins before the end point by the pre-roll amount.

To audition a selection end point with post‑roll:

Press Command+Option+Right Arrow (Mac) or Control+Alt+Right Arrow (Windows).
