Keyboard Shortcuts

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

KeyActionWhen
SpacePlay / StopStarts preview or playback from the playhead position. Press again to stop. During recording, stops everything.
RRecordBegins recording. If a preview is playing, the mic turns on seamlessly — the songs keep playing. If nothing is playing, starts fresh from the playhead.
MMark EndDrops a marker at the current moment during recording. Tells AutoCast "my voice ends here — start Song B." Optional but precise.
EscDiscardThrows away the current take and resets the recording deck. You can immediately try again.
Save & NextSaves the voicetrack to Dropbox and advances to the next VT slot in the log. The finished file includes transition timing in its filename.
