Playback

Selecting the playback tracks. The second row of blue buttons are the playback select buttons. When pressed the button will appear to emit a blue glow and the track is selected. Any number of the available tracks may be played back simultaneously, regardless of the capabilities of your soundcard - the signals are dynamically mixed by QTrack using software only, and do not rely on the hardware analogue mixer in the soundcard.

Selecting the start and stop positions. If you may wish to play only a portion of the recording, you can use the start and stop controls to select the desired part. To do this, first press the POSITION button to activate the position controls. If the button does not work, then either you do not have an existing recording, or the software is un-registered and the un-registered software does not support this facility. Adjust the start and stop times with the slider controls, and use PLAY mode to verify the selection. (Note. QTrack does not yet support absolutely precise selection down to the nearest sample. However, it should be precise enough for most common purposes).

Starting playback. You press the PLAY button to begin playback.If you wish to start playing back at other than the beginning of the file, use the POSITION scrollbar to point to the place where you wish to start (you will need to activate the position facility with the position button to the left of the scrollbar). You may move the scroll bar even while the playback is in progress

Stopping playback. Either press the STOP button at any point to manually terminate playback, or wait till the end of the recording is reached when playback will stop automatically. Note that because of the way QTrack works, there may be a small delay of perhaps a quarter of a second between pressing the button and the playback actually stopping. (Note To reduce this time interval use smaller buffer sizes. However, this may produce undesirable effects on low performance hardware).
