Transport Buttons Just like many hardware-based audio recording and playback devices, Adobe Audition provides VCR-like transport buttons for playing, recording, stopping, pausing, fast forwarding, and rewinding your waveforms and sessions. The Transport Buttons are in a dockable window, allowing you to reposition them at several places in the Adobe Audition interface. Or, you can even detach the Transport Buttons window and have it float above Adobe Audition's main window. To close the Transport Buttons window when it's floating, click on the "X" control in its title bar. To get rid of the Transport Buttons window when it's docked, right-click on its grab bar and select Close from the pop-up menu. Or, simply uncheck the Show Transport Buttons item from the Edit menu to close it in either docking or floating mode. Here's what each transport button does: Stop Click on this button to stop the playback of a waveform or session. Play This button plays the portion of the wave or session that is currently being viewed (or that's highlighted) from the current cursor position. Right-click on the Play button to select from four behavior options: • Play View: Adobe Audition will play just the portion of audio you're currently viewing from beginning to end. • Play from Cursor to End of View: Adobe Audition plays from the current cursor position to the end of the view. (This is the default behavior for this button.) • Play from Cursor to End of File: Audio is played from the current cursor position until the end point of the file or session. • Play Entire File: When this option is checkmarked, Adobe Audition will play the entire file or session from beginning to end, regardless of the cursor position or view. Pause Press this button to temporarily pause the playback or recording of audio. The control turns into a Continue button when audio is paused. You may also enable pause in Multitrack View by first holding down the Ctrl key and then pressing the spacebar to start playback. Hitting the spacebar again will pause the playback of the multitrack session. Play to End Clicking on this button plays the contents of the currently-visible waveform or session window, and then stops playback. Right-click on the Play to End control to select from four behavior options: • Play View: Adobe Audition will play just the portion of audio you're currently viewing from beginning to end.
