The Scrub Trimmer
(TDM Systems Only)
The Scrub Trimmer is a convenient tool for
auditioning material (on up to two tracks)
to find a trim point. You can click on a
track and drag to hear the audio informa-
tion, then trim at a specific location by re-
leasing the mouse button.
This action creates a new region. Note that
the cursor changes into a “right trim” or
“left trim” shape as it is placed over the
right or left side of a region. To reverse the
direction of the Scrub Trimmer, press Op-
tion (Macintosh) or Alt (Windows) before
you click on the region.
Scrub playback speed and direction vary
with controller movement. Scrubbed audio
is routed through the track signal path, so
you hear any effects in the signal path.
To scrub trim a track:
1 Click the Scrub Trimmer tool. The cursor
changes to a speaker with a bracket.
2 Drag within a track to the left or right.
Audio from a scrubbed track is routed
through the track signal path, including
any TDM effects. When you locate the de-
sired trim point, release the mouse button
to trim the region.
To scrub trim two tracks, click with the
Scrub Trimmer between two adjacent
tracks and drag.
To scrub with finer resolution (without
having to zoom in), press Command (Mac-
intosh) or Control (Windows) while scrub-
bing.
Trim To Insertion Command
You can trim a region or MIDI note by au-
tomatically removing the material between
the Edit insertion point and the start or end
point.
