Chapter 14: Playing/Selecting Track Material 159
When the Operation Preference for “Edit
Insertion Follows Scrub/Shuttle” is en-
abled, the edit cursor automatically locates
to the point where scrubbing stops.
When the Scrolling Option is set to Con-
tinuous Scroll During Playback or Continu-
ous Scroll with Playhead, clicking with the
Scrubber in a track’s playlist centers the
Edit window around that point, and moves
the Playhead there. With these Scrolling
Options, scrubbed material moves past the
Playhead, which remains stationary and
centered.
▲ Scrubbing is only supported for audio
tracks. MIDI tracks cannot be scrubbed.
To scrub a single audio track:
1 With the Scrubber selected, drag within
the track—left for reverse, right for for-
ward.
The distance and speed with which you
drag (with either the mouse, or an external
MIDI controller wheel) determine the
length and speed of the scrubbed audio.
Audio from the scrubbed track is routed to
its output, along with any effects assigned
to the track.
The resolution for the Scrubber is depen-
dent upon the zoom factor for the
scrubbed track. For finer resolutions with-
out zooming, press Command (Macintosh)
or Control (Windows) while scrubbing.
✽ You can temporarily switch the Selector to
the Scrubber by Control-clicking (Macintosh) or
Right-clicking (Windows). For finer resolution,
Command-Control-click (Macintosh) or Control-
Right-click (Windows).
To scrub up to two audio tracks:
■ With the Scrubber selected, drag between
two adjacent tracks.
– or –
Scrub within a selection that contains mul-
tiple tracks. Only the first two tracks, how-
ever, are heard.
Scrub/Shuttle Mode
When scrubbing normally, you can scrub
at normal playback speeds or slower.
Scrub/Shuttle mode, however, lets you
scrub at several times normal speed, which
is helpful in playing through large ranges
and locating material.
To scrub in Shuttle mode (at several times
normal speed):
1 Select the Scrubber tool.
2 While pressing Option (Macintosh) or
Alt (Windows), drag within the track—left
for reverse, right for forward.The Fast For-
ward and Rewind buttons in the Transport
window engage.
The distance and speed dragged determine
the speed for the scrubbed audio.
