Importing, Recording, and Playing Audio
To play from the current-time indicator to the end of the current view:
Set the current-time indicator where you want playback to start, and click the Play button
in the Transport Controls window.
To play from the current-time indicator to the end of the file:
Set the current-time indicator where you want playback to start, and click the Play To End
button
in the Transport Controls window.
To play the visible portion of the file:
Right-click the Play button or Play To End button, and choose Play View. Then click the
button again to start playback.
To play an entire file:
Right-click the Play button or Play To End button, and choose Play Entire File. Then click
the button again to start playback.
To loop audio during playback:
Do one of the following:
• To play the currently-visible portion of the audio in a continuous loop, click the Play
Looped button
in the Transport Controls window.
• To loop the entire waveform or session (or just the selected range), right-click the Play
Looped button and choose Play Entire (or Selection). Then click the button again to
start playback.
Note: By default, the display window scrolls in sync with playback that extends beyond the
visible section of a waveform. In the General tab of the Settings dialog box, you can set options
for auto-scrolling or you can disable this feature. (See “Setting Adobe Audition preferences”
on page 43.)
Using preroll and postroll during playback (Edit View only)
In Edit View, you can play back the audio just before and after a selected range. This audio
is known as preroll and postroll. Playing preroll and postroll is useful for fine-tuning selec-
tions and listening to transitions without destroying a selection. By default, the duration
of preroll and postroll is one second; however, you can adjust this duration to best meet
your needs.
