In the Playlist/Cutlist window, click the Play button for the first region you want to hear.

Playback begins with the selected region and continues until Sound Forge Pro software encounters a stop point. If no stop point exists, playback will continue through the end of the playlist.

TIP To change the number of times each region will be played or to set a stop point, type a new value in the Cnt box or use the Play count box in the Playlist window.

1. From the Edit menu, choose Playlist/Cutlist, and then choose Treat as Cutlist from the submenu.

TIP Right-click the Playlist/Cutlist window and choose Treat as Cutlist from the shortcut menu.

2. Click the Play as Cutlist button in the data window's playbar.

   Playback begins at the cursor position, skipping cutlist regions.

The Play as Cutlist button is not displayed until you select the Treat as Cutlist command.

From the Edit menu, choose Playlist/Cutlist, and then choose Pre-Roll Playback (or right-click a region in the Playlist/Cutlist window and choose Pre-roll Playback from the shortcut menu) to begin playback starting with the end of the previous region when starting the playlist sequence.

You can specify the pre-roll time on the Playlist window or on the Previews tab in the Preferences dialog.

TIP Press / (forward slash) when a playlist region is selected.

Example: two regions are defined in the Playlist/Cutlist window, and the pre-roll time is set to 0.5 seconds. When you start playback of the playlist from region 2, the last 0.5 seconds of region 1 will be played back before starting region 2. This allows you to hear the transition between the two regions.
