sample audition doesn't appear

Post by ptiz » Tue Mar 29, 2011 6:41 pm

I'm having problems trying to get the "audition" bit to appear. It should appear under the line devices on the left hand side of the screen as a little blue pair of headphones but it doesn't, so i can't hear any samples before i load them into drum rack. Usually i select "hot swap" and this brings it up but now hot swap takes me to a different file, where the icon does appear but when i try and look in line devices it's not there. so frustrating. can anyone help? thx

The preview tab should be there automatically on File browsers 1, 2 and 3, there is no toggle on/off for it. Try selecting the file you want to preview inside your browser and pressing shift+enter or your right arrow key, in theory it will preview the sample whether or not you can see the preview tab.
