What happens for you? The audio is playing until the end is reached. All following keys are interpreted as their counterpart in stop mode. This means that the cursor will be moved from now on, either from its original position or the right selection boundary. In other words, the holding down of the...

I see no little value in reducing the opacity of the red lines or making them dotted. It's a warning, we need to see it.

If you had 16-bit Default Sample Format set when you imported the 16-bit fi...

Could somebody help me here? Whenever I download an mp3 audio file for editing it only imports the first 7 minutes. The audio voice recording is about six hours long. I use the edit toolbar to import the file as raw data and in the pop up window the download % is set at 100 %. is there any way that...
