Shortcut

Meaning

[F1]

Help – launches the help file.

[F2]

Start Play. If a log is loaded and an audio item selected, it will be played from the beginning. If Auto-Track is enabled and the audio item is a voice-track cart, the outro of the preceding cart will be played and segued to the voice-track cart.

[F3]

Stop Play. If an item is playing, it will be stopped. If more than one item is playing, the item that was started first is stopped.

[F4]

Record / Stop Record. If a voice track is selected, the recording sequence will start. If Auto-Track is enabled, the sequence begins by playing the preceding item’s outro, then starting the recording at the item’s Aux Mark. If Auto-Track is not enabled, recording begins immediately.
 
If a recording is active, pressing the key stops the recording.

[F5]

Intro Play. If an audio item is selected on a log, the intro of the audio is played. Length of playback is controlled by the Intro Play Length in Preferences.

[F6]

Outro Play. If an audio item is selected on a log, the outro of the audio is played. Length of playback is controlled by the Outro Play Length in Preferences.
 
Note: Outro play length is calculated from the Aux Mark setting of the audio file.
