Hi Gavin, This is a question that I'm seeking the answer for as well. Knowing how this works will be very useful for me and others. Could you be a little more specific? I don't think I understand the complete picture yet. I know that I can use space to start, pause and resume playback. The arrows will skip ahead or back in small increments. So far it's clear. But then. Why do you stop playback, and then use the arrows to skip? Am I correct in thinking that this makes no difference in getting the job done, but that you just don't want to be bothered with all the chunks being played as you skip?
Next, you use shift space to hear where you are. How does this work? What is shift space actually doing? Finally, a question about zooming. Which option in which menu do you use to zoom in and out? You said you begin at a hundred percent, to be able to jump in relatively large increments, and then later decrease zooming to finetune your location in the file. I would think that, the more you zoom in, the higher the percentage is, the finer your jump increments will become, but it seems to be the other way around. As you see, I don't quite get the details yet. Could you please explain in greater detail how this works for you? Best, Paul.
