Can you relocate the Dynamic Transport Play Start Marker during playback?

• A. No, you cannot relocate during playback.
• B. Yes, by clicking in the play start marker strip.
• C. Yes, but only with the Transport window's fast forward/rewind.
• D. Only when using the scrubber wheel.

Answer: (B)

Relocating the Play Start Marker during playback is a quick way to redefine where playback will begin on the next start. In Dynamic Transport, you can move that marker by simply clicking in the play start marker strip, and it jumps to the location you clicked. This makes it easy to cue up a new starting point while the session is playing, so when you press play again, playback begins from that new point. This method is more direct than using fast forward/rewind, which only moves the actual playhead, not the designated start point. The scrubber wheel also changes the playhead position rather than the play start marker. An important nuance is that the play start marker is separate from the current playback position, so moving it adjusts future playback rather than instantly altering the current moment unless you trigger playback again.
