Updated on January 11th, 2024

  1. Set the Left Locator to the beginning of the song. It will be there by default if you haven't changed it. To ensure this is the case, click the number just to the right of the L in the transport section, enter 1, then hit the enter/return key.
  2. Set the Right Locator to the point you want the song to end. Click the number to the right of the R in the transport section, enter the bar number where you want the song to end, then hit the enter/return key.
