This section focuses on playing audio from the log. There are two steps involved: a) "marking" the item
you wish to play; and b) initiating playback in one of several ways.
Setting the "Next-To-Play" Log Item Manually
In order to play an audio item from the log, XStudio needs to know which item to play. This is achieved
by "marking" a selected log item (cart) as the Next-To-Play item. To set the next item to play, select
the item you wish to mark. Use the scroll bars or keyboard shortcuts to bring the item into view and
select the item by clicking on it.
Mark the selected item using the [F7] keystroke or by double-clicking and answering "Yes" to the
prompt. The newly-marked Next-To-Play item will be highlighted using a reverse color scheme and the
text Next=> in the Status Info column.
XStudio will automatically advance and set Next-To-Play log items as the log is performed, marking the
next playable log item found when a cart starts playing and its play source is the log.
Any valid audio item (cart) on the log can be manually set as the Next-To-Play
item, including items previous to the currently playing item, even if the item has
already played. Similarly, any items on the log after the current item can be
marked, making it easy to skip over items or jump back on the log as needed.
Playback Using Deck Transport Buttons
Once a log item has been marked as the Next-To-Play item, the most common method of starting
playback is to use the primary playback deck (Deck 1) transport's [Play] button. The Deck 1 playback
source is always the log, if present. Decks 2 and 3 use the audio clipboard as their playback source as
a default. Refer to the section on Using Playback Decks 2, 3 and 4 for details.
When you click the [Play] button, XStudio sends a command to the audio engine to begin playing the
log item marked as Next-To-Play. The Deck 1 (primary) transport is updated to reflect the item that is
