Navigating the Song
In this chapter, you will learn how to move to different
parts of the song, start and limit passages, and to isolate
and audition specific portions and components within
the song.
In short, you’ll learn how to navigate through the song. As you’re reading, follow the
steps and try out the functions. You can’t break anything.
Please load the Tutorial song, if you haven’t already done so.
The Transport Window
The second, smaller window—displayed after loading the song—is the floating
Transport window. It is laid out like the control surface of a tape machine, with the top
row of buttons used for operating the Record, Pause, Play, Stop, Rewind, and Forward
functions. In addition, you can use the Transport window for operations such as Solo,
Synchronization or Cycle, which we’ll cover shortly.
You can start the song by clicking on the Play button (see picture below) on the
Transport bar, or by pressing Enter on your numeric keypad.
Try out the buttons in the upper row of the Transport bar. You should be pretty familiar
with them as they are identical to the functions found on tape machines and cassette
recorders.
Here’s an overview of the Transport window elements:
