Play Position group

Using Play Position Controls

The P Play Position group contains the following controls.

  • Play Position Bar  - Updated continuously during playback to indicate the play position along the play timeline. Volume is updated during fade-in and fade-out changes.
  • Play Marker Indicators  - Located just below the Progress Bar , marker shapes indicate positions of play markers (Start, Stop and Fade markers). Marker processing can be disabled globally (for all Sound Items) from the Behavior menu and will be indicated with the marker disabled symbol ( ) at the right end of the marker row.
  • Play Position Trackbar  - During play, if the trackbar position is moved, sound play position will be set to the trackbar position. There are quick set buttons for Set Left( ), Center( ) and Set Right ( ) to move the marker to a pre-defined position on the track. Clicking the Set to Progress Postion( ) button, sets the trackbar to the current value of the Play progress bar. This is sometimes useful when play is paused and you want to set a marker at the current paused position. The position is indicated in time position (minutes : seconds . milliseconds).
