Set the project start and end points
A project normally starts at position 1 1 1 1 (as shown in the LCD, in Bars mode or in Bars and
Time mode). You can move the project start point to an earlier position, allowing upbeats or
program change commands to be played before the first downbeat. You can also move the
project end point; for example, to remove unused bars at the end of the project.
Set the project start point
m Drag the start-of-project marker in the ruler to the left or right.
Set the project end point
Do one of the following:
m Drag the end-of-project marker in the ruler to the left or right.
m Set the value in the LCD’s numerical Project End display (by click-dragging or double-clicking the
value).
Project End display
Note: If the Project End display doesn’t appear in the LCD, Control-click the LCD and choose
Customize Control Bar in the shortcut menu. Select the Tempo/Project End checkbox in the
Customize Control Bar dialog.
During playback, a project stops when it reaches the end-of-project marker. When recording, the
end-of-project marker moves to accommodate the end of the recording (if recording extends
past the current position of the marker).
Set the project playback volume
You can set the basic project playback volume by dragging the Master Volume slider in the
control bar. The Master Volume slider controls the master channel strip in the Mixer, and acts as
a master volume control for the overall project. This slider not only sets the playback volume of
your project, but also affects the overall volume of your mix.
Adjust the project playback volume
m Drag the Master Volume slider left or right.
You can also control project volume using the Master track or using the master channel strip in
the Mixer.
