Play audio files in the Audio File Editor in Logic Pro for Mac
There are a number of playback options in the Audio File Editor. Playback of audio files in the Audio File Editor occurs independently of the project playhead position. To hear the audio file in the context of your arrangement, you should use the control bar buttons.
The Mixer’s Preview channel strip is used for monitoring in the Audio File Editor. You can access the Preview channel strip by clicking the All button in the Mixer menu bar. The Preview channel strip is located to the right of the highest-numbered audio channel strip.
Important: If the waveform position is shifted vertically away from the zero amplitude line, you can remove the DC offset to help center the waveform and reduce crackling sounds at the start and end of the audio region during playback.
