Click the track title link to select a new track. This section is only available if you have selected the Track type selection above.

 

This section shows the file path of the audio file. If you have selected the File type above, click the Browse button to select a new audio file.

 

Click the Artist checkbox and type into the text box to override the artist that will be displayed on the QuickCart.

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.

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.

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.

 

The Cue In point is the position in seconds where the track should be started by a player. Use the Set button while listening to the track to set the point to the current position. Use the Test button to listen to the track from the set position.

 

For looping carts, there are two additional cue points, Loop A and Loop B (see above).

The waveform shows the volume of the audio track over time. Overlaid on the waveform in green is the Cue In point that is set above. Double-click on a point over the waveform to start playing from that position in the track. You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the waveform.

 

Use the Play and Stop buttons to listen to the track. The audio device (sound card) used to play back the audio can be configured in Settings. Use the Back and Forward buttons to the start or end of the track. Use the Zoom buttons to zoom in and out of the waveform to set a more precise cue point. You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the waveform.

Click the Analyse button to automatically detect the Cue In point based on the silence at the start of the QuickCart track.
