Working with Audio Contexts

While working on one clip or branch of the process tree, you can listen to the audio of another clip. Audio contexts work in much the same way as video contexts. You can set up to two audio contexts in Batch or Batch FX.

To set an audio context:

1. In the schematic, select a clip that contains audio.
2. Click the Au Context button, or right-click the clip and select Set as Audio Context.

   Clips with an audio context are labelled A1 or A2 and are outlined by a pink dotted line.

3. To hear an audio context, select Context1 or Context2 from the Audio Source box in the Batch or Batch FX Preferences menu.

Note: Playback of audio is only available when playing a clip. However, you can scrub audio anytime in Batch or Batch FX. You can scrub your audio context by using Ctrl (quick scrub) or Shift+Ctrl (real-time scrub) on any node.
