Playback from Cursor Position in Sample Display/Editor

[ForestCat]

Probably a dumb noob question, but I have searched diligently & find nothing on this.

In Session View:

In the Sample Display/Editor for an audio clip,
A). Left-clicking on the waveform causes a blinking orange(on my system)cursor line to appear.
B). Left-clicking and dragging over the waveform causes a cyan(on my system) selection to appear.

How do I:

1. Playback the clip from the cursor position in A) above?
2. Playback just the selection from B) above?

Not being able to do this while placing/auditioning warp markers, etc, is driving me nuts.

Thanks for any help.

You can play part of a clip (audio or Mini) by pressing the Shift key - the mouse pointer will turn into a speaker icon - and clicking the timeline at the top of the clip. So, for 1) just click above the orange line. As for 2) I don't think it's possible. Someone more expert might know better.

Thank you, Gary. I thought the speaker icon was fluky/inconsistent (based upon some googling, forum posts, etc.). What I realized is that that speaker icon playback function is tied to the Global Quantization value. As a result, if global quantization is enabled, the actual playback position can be VERY different from the actual cursor position, lol. Major gotcha for noobs like myself. Not documented anywhere I could find...

Oh, yeah, there's that...

Control and space plays from cursor position in arrangement view clips (very useful inside long MIDI clips). Perhaps it also works in session clips?

You saved me a bunch of time Thank You So Much! I was wondering why the hell I couldn't playback like I wanted to and also seen other people do it. You're right it's not documented much hence why I found your 4 year old thread that is still helping people out

thank you that helped me today! Global Quantization . Weird stuff.
