Solo

5. Solo
If Solo is checked, when the cart is played it will cause all other carts to fade out and stop. This cart will also fade out and stop when any other cart starts playing. Solo ensures this cart is the only cart playing at any particular time.
6

Loop

6. Loop
If Loop is checked, when the cart is played it will loop between points Loop A and Loop B. The Loop A and Loop B cue points will appear in the Cue Points section when Loop is checked. If Loop B is not set, the cart will loop from the end of the cart. If Loop A is not set, the cart will seek to the Cue In point when the loop point is reached.

Playback sequence

7. Playback sequence
The playback sequence determines how the cart behaves when the cart is clicked on the main interface. In this example, the cart will Play, then Fade out, then Stop respectively for each mouse click. To change how the cart behaves, click any blue link. For example 'Fade out' above will display the following options allowing you to change this to Stop immediately:
and change the playback sequence to:
 
For looping carts there are additional options:
 
You can choose to 'Cease loop' when the cart is clicked. This will prevent the cart from looping anymore and behave like a non-looping cart. You can also choose to 'Go to Loop B' which will cause the cart to jump to the end of the loop sequence. This can be useful if you have a background bed that loops, but also has an end that you want the listener to hear when you have finished speaking.
