Intro, Outro - intro and outro portions of the track. This is used in Voice Tracking.

 

Fade In, Mix, Fade Out - set the individual crossfading parameters.

 

Mix Start - adjust track mixing position to allow it start earlier in the mix, typically Mix Start set after the quiet start part of the track. During playback, player will match Mix position of the playing track, and Mix Start position of the following track. Important! Mix Start requires Start mark to be set.

* Start, End, Mix, Mix start and Playback Level can be auto-detected using the Process Tracks tool in Music Library.

 

To show/hide Tag Editor click the dark gray bar on the left.

 

To stop the playback, press the space bar. You can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel while the Ctrl key is pressed

and held. The zoom level can also be changed from the context menu that

appears after right-clicking on the graph.

 

If the option Disable song is active, the playlist generator or track list will not use this track when creating playlists.

 

The Set start/end dates button is used to set the track's start and end dates. If set, then a track will be used only during the time specified. Typical usage for this feature is to make specific songs appear in the playlists only at certain dates (for instance, New year songs). For this feature to work, both start and end dates have to be set!

 

The Disable song and Start/end dates are considered only when Playlist Generator or Track List are used.
