If you are working your way through a set list use Pause-At-End to stop at the end of each song and then press play to start the next song.

Marks

Create Marks for quick navigation and visualization, to define sections and even add timed comments in notes. Sections are defined by marks and are contiguous.

	Loop Selected. Move A slider (loop start) to first selected item and move B slider (loop end) to the blast selected item.
