Scrubbing
If you press the Insert key (Ins or 0 on the number pad), Samplitude 11.5
Producer will be in "Scrubbing Mode". This means that the playback speed
can be controlled directly with the mouse. The further the mouse goes to the
right, the faster Samplitude 11.5 Producer plays.
In comparison to many HD recording systems, this even works in a virtual
multitrack project.
The Scrubbing Mode is great in finding passages in unsorted material, in
tracking crackling, etc. in material – the older generation of sound engineers
are, no doubt, very familiar with this method from analog tape editing.
There are 2 scrubbing modes available (in the playback parameter window -
Key P):
Relative: The relative distance between the playback marker (position bar) and
the mouse position can be used to control the speed. The playback marker
follows the movement of the mouse.
Absolute: You can use the absolute position of the mouse in the window to
control the speed:
 Left border = double speed backwards,
 Mids = no movement,
 Right border = double speed forward.
Tip for scrubbing: For small buffer sizes (4000, 2000 samples) scrolling is
"softer". Test if your computer functions at this buffer size without drop-outs.
Combining with the Soft Scroll Mode guarantees that working on your
computer is easy and fast.
Global playback device
Here you can define the driver of the sound card which is to be used for
playback if playback is to occur via a card. This is particularly important if you
have a sound card with several outputs or if you have several cascadable
sound cards in your computer.
