Scrubbing
Scrubbing makes it easier for you to find a specific part of the music in the project simply
by moving the mouse pointer. Playback, forwards or back, occurs while moving the
mouse.
By varying the playback speed, it's possible to quickly approach a position, but also to
arrive at the exact position at a reduced speed.
If you press the "Insert" key ("Insert", or "0" on the number pad), Samplitude will switch to
"Scrubbing" mode. Now move the play cursor with the mouse in order to hear the audio
material beneath it. When you hold down the mouse button in "Scrubbing" mode you can
also hold down on the "Shift" or "Ctrl" keys to make scrubbing slower and thereby make it
more precise. Alternately, you can use the mouse wheel for fine-tuned scrubbing.
In the "Mouse" mode list there is a separate "Scrub Mouse" mode available as well.
In the playback options (keyboard shortcut: "P") the following scrubbing modes can be set:
Shuttle: The relative distance between the play cursor (positions bar) and the mouse
position can be used to control the speed. This means:
Scrub control faders at the left edge = 2x speed backwards,
Scrub control fader in the middle = 0 movement,
Scrub control faders at the right edge = 2x speed forwards.
Absolute: You can also use the absolute position of the mouse in the window to control
the speed.
TwoSpeed: Two scrubbing speeds are available. Depending on the distance of the
scrubbing controller to the mouse position, the object is either played quickly or slowly,
whereby a speed of between 0 and 25 is preset for slow scrubbing. Fast scrubbing is
set to 1.0, i.e. original speed. The value for slow playback can be adjusted in the
"Speed" menu.
One speed: The preset scrubbing speed is 1.0 (original speed). Use the "Ctrl" key to use
the scrubbing speed set in the "Speed" field and use the "Shift" key to halve this speed.
With the option "Scrubbing only with active track" you can limit scrubbing to the active
track only.
