Question

Please Help With Unique Audition Playback Issue

Workflow:  I'm in multitrack.  I'm zoomed in on a long wav file that extends way beyond the multitrack workspace window.  While wav is actively playing I want to look ahead (beyond what is shown) for the next area I want to hear.  Traditionally I've been able to click and hold my mouse down while moving the mouse to the right as if I'm highlighting a future section of the wav.  This advances the wav to the future spot where I'm able to quickly stop and start the audio (using the space bar) while scanning through the entire long wav and I can listen to different sections quickly without having to .

 

Problem:  Something has changed and I am no longer able to do this.  Now, when I hold the mouse and "highlight forward" to scan through the wav quickly, the audio restarts wherever I began my highlighting.  This disrupts my workflow because I want the audio to continue playing while I'l highlighting forward looking for the spot I CHOOSE to stop and re-start the audio at with the spacebar.  I prefer not having to use the scroll bar at the top of the multi-track window because I've never had to in the past.  

 

Does anyone have any insight on what I may have accidentally turned off/on?  I've tried every combination in the Preferences-->Playback and Recording section to no avail.  Thank you for any help you can give!  MM

Don't know - it does what you describe as the original behaviour here. Two things you can try though: Open a new Multitrack session and see if it happens with that. If it doesn't, then you may well have a corrupted session file, but if it does, Audition's preferences may be corrupted. Admittedly you will lose any settings you made and stored if you do this, but you can reset all the preferences to a 'vanilla' state simply by restarting Audition with the shift key held down. And if that doesn't work, report back.

Thanks for your suggestion!  I'll definitely try this as soon as I can and report back.  Thanks!  MM
