useful for a number of transport tasks. Turn the dial to use it. The outlined Scrub modes change
the behavior of the Jog/Scrub Wheel.
•
Scrub mode o: The Jog/Scrub Wheel moves the playhead.
•
Scrub mode on: The Jog/Scrub Wheel performs scrubbing, which allows you to hear the data of
the selected (or soloed) tracks while scrolling or moving through the project.
Audio tracks are normally played back at their original speed. If you would rather hear them
at double speed, choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Drivers, and set Maximum Scrub
Speed to Double in the pop-up menu.
Note: You can also use the SCRUB button for Pause functionality.
•
SHUTTLE mode: The Jog/Scrub Wheel shuttles the playhead—Rotating it increases or decreases
the speed at which the playhead moves. The SCRUB button LED ashes when in Shuttle mode.
