"Peak Pro is a registered trademark of Bias, Inc. and I am in no way affiliated with Bias, Inc. In this lesson I'm going to teach you how to use playlists in Peak Pro. If you come up to "File" and go down to "New" you can select "Playlist Document". What that's going to do is it's going to create an untitled playlist for you. And what playlists are is you can select parts of a song and add them to your playlist and this is helpful if you're a DJ, you want to create playlists and fade between them, or if you just want to sample how different parts of a song sound together. If I come back over to my waveform I'm going to select just the beginning part there and what I need to do to add it to my playlist is convert it to a region so I'm going to click the "New Region" button. And that's going to make that into region one. And I'm going to come back to my playlist. And if I click the "Plus" button over here you'll see it says region one. If I click there it's going to add this to my playlist. And I can do this to multiple files too. I'm going to go ahead and open a different song here and select part of that and add the region like we did before. And when I come back over to my playlist and click the "Plus" button I'll have two region ones. If I click the second region one that's going to add that to my playlist. Now if I want to fade between the two parts of my playlist I can click on, I'm going to click on the second part and drag that and as you can see they're overlapping and there's, there's kind of a triangle that's created that's the fade. If I go ahead and play that (Music Playing). You can see how that fades between them. And down here in your list view there's a list of all of your, all the parts in your playlist. If I want to delete part of my playlist just select that, come up here and click the "Trash Can" button there. And you can also create playlists based on audio CDs and you can even burn your playlists out as CDs, but that's the basics of using playlists in Peak Pro."
