follow the play cursor during playback. When working in “2” or “3” section
display mode, the autoscroll feature causes the individual sections to follow the
play cursor as well. If you have zoomed into one of the sections, the play
cursor will move through the section faster, resulting in more screen re-draws.
You can choose between page and soft scrolling, but be careful: Scrolling
requires CPU power (depending on the processor, graphics adaptor, and
resolution), and the CPU may be overloaded in critical situations which may
result in playback dropouts. Deactivate autoscroll mode if this happens.
Scrubbing: If you "Insert" ("Insert", or "0" on the number pad), Samplitude 11.5
Producer will switch to "Scrubbing" mode, and playback speed can be
controlled directly by the mouse. The further to the right the mouse goes, the
faster Samplitude 11.5 Producer plays.
In comparison to many HD recording systems, this even works in a virtual
multitrack project.
Use scrubbing mode to find passages, crackling, etc. in material. The older
generation of sound engineers are, no doubt, very familiar with this method
from analog tape editing.
There are two scrubbing modes ("P"):
Relative: The relative distance between the play cursor (positions bar) and the
mouse position can be used to control the speed. The play cursor follows the
movement of the mouse.
Absolute: You can also use the absolute position of the mouse in the window
to control the speed:
Left border = Double speed backwards
Center = No movement
Right border = Double speed forwards
Tip for scrubbing: For buffer sizes (4000, 2000 samples) scrolling is "softer".
Test if your computer functions at this buffer size without any playback errors.
Combined with "Soft scroll", editing becomes very convenient on faster
computers.
