Hi Peter, To set the pre or post roll value, go to the Transport window and find the pre or post roll value and use Control-Option-space to click. Then enter the new value and press Enter. You must type the value on the numeric keypad and starting with the first number. In other words, if you want to enter two seconds, you must type a zero, then the decimal, then zero two. Unless you want smaller increments after the seconds, you can press Enter after having typed in the zero two. If you're entering bars and beats, you'd type the bar number first and then hit Enter. If you want a bar plus two beats as a pre-roll, you'd enter one, press the decimal to get to the next field then type two and then hit Enter. Remember that the decimal advances you to the next value field. Once you hit Enter, the value takes effect. To retype a value, click once more and enter the full value again, using decimal to advance to the subsequent fields if necessary.
Once you have both pre and post roll values entered, the shortcuts I mentioned earlier will work. Make sure you're in the Edit window while auditioning.
