the whole file plays. If you drag-select a segment of your show and press play (or spacebar play), only that segment will play.

I assume you are talking about LOUD noise? Yes, but it's misleading. My very favorite pair of earbuds finally bit the big one. One side cuts out on one pair and both crackle on the other. No it's not the connector. I replaced both of those ages ago. So I'm trying to replace them. I bought a new iPo...

Then, mix that sound with some music, or use the Generate tool to generate some white noise or pink noise and mix with that. Pink or Brown. White noise is a hearing health hazard. OK. You got your track. Now check it. [Booming kettle drum sound] See what the problem is? The work turns into ghosts a...
