Keyboard Shortcuts

VoiceTracker is designed to be operated entirely from the keyboard once you've selected a voicetrack slot. Four keys handle the entire recording workflow.

Key	Action	When
`Space`	Play / Stop	Starts preview or playback from the playhead position. Press again to stop. During recording, stops everything.
`R`	Record	Begins recording. If a preview is playing, the mic turns on seamlessly — the songs keep playing. If nothing is playing, starts fresh from the playhead.
`Esc`	Discard	Throws away the current take and resets the recording deck. You can immediately try again.
`↓`	Save & Next	Saves the voicetrack to Dropbox and advances to the next VT slot. If it was the last slot in the hour, automatically loads the next hour that has voicetracks and selects its first slot. The finished file includes transition timing in its filename so AutoCast knows exactly how to play it.

Typical Keystroke Flow

1
Space — start previewing the transition
2
R — begin recording when you're ready to talk
3
Space — stop recording
4
Drag songs to fine-tune the overlap
5
Space — listen back to the full mix
6
↓ — save and move to the next slot (or Esc to redo)
