Using the Play Tool

This tool allows you to play back from any position on one or both stereo channels.

Procedure

  1. In the Audio Editor, select the Edit tab.
  2. In the Tools section, select the Play tool, or press and hold Alt.
  3. In the wave window, click at the position where you want playback to start.

    The cursor shape indicates whether the left (L) or the right (R) channel is played back. If mid/side mode is activated, the cursor shape indicates whether the mid (M) or the side (S) channel is played back. Using the Play tool in the middle of the channels plays back both channels.

Result

Playback continues for as long as you keep the mouse button pressed, or until the audio file ends. After playback has stopped, the cursor is moved to the playback start position.
