Yes, I have this same trouble too, and I've tried changing cursor tracking with shift vo f3 to no avail. If there is a solution here, I'm hoping to find it.

If, however, you try to play it at that point, it will start at the beginning since you are at the end. If, however, you press down arrow and then press left arrow a few times, you will be back just a little ways from the end of the file. How far back you go with the left arrow is dependent on where you have the zoom menu set. > > Robert Carter > > > On Mar 31, 2013, at 1:23 PM, Lisette Wesseling <lisettewessel...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi >> I agree that sound studio is very easy to use.

Marks are set with the m key. Option plus left and right arrow jump from mark to mark. adding shift to option left and right arrow selects the audio that is in between two marks.

The amount of audio that is selected when shift+right arrow is used is set by a popup menu that is next to the toolbar. It is called the "Zoom level Menu." At its default value, the left and right arrows move quite a ways through a file. I use the left and right arrows for to move by very small amounts when editing a podcast. I typically set the zoom level to 4096. With this menu, you press vo+space to open the menu and down arrow to locate the desired option. Press return to set the desired value. >>> >>> Cursor tracking does need to be off when editing.

Something misterious can happen whereby, for some reason which I cannot identify, pressing ordinary commands simply does not work. For instance pressing left or right arrow to move the playback pointer gets nothing more than a bonk sound from the system as though this key press is unknown. The only thing I know to do to fix this is save my work, if, indeed I feel it is safe to, and reopen sound studio. >>>> >>>> >>>> Hope this helps, >>>> John S >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> ----- Original Message ----- >>>> From: Sarai Bucciarelli >>>> To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com >>>> Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2013 10:07 PM >>>> Subject: Sound studio editing tracks >>>> >>>> Hi: >>>> I purchased Sound Studio.
