Scrubbing
The term "scrubbing" originates from the age of cassette players and provides quicker
monitoring of passages of a film or a piece of music. The function plays short samples
at the original speed.
Note: In order to preview individual audio objects completely, use "Preview (view
page 46)" mouse mode.
Activate scrubbing
Scrubbing can be activated using the small arrow
next to the speaker button.
Scrubbing: Modes
No scrubbing: Scrubbing is inactive. If the playback marker is set or moved, then
sound will not be played.
Scrubbing (1 frame): Scrubbing is active and samples are only 1 (video) frame in
length. The speed is 25 fps, i.e. 1/25 second. This mode is suitable for positioning the
playback marker exactly.
Scrubbing (long): Scrubbing is active, the sample length amounts to approx. 0.5
seconds. In this mode, locating specific events is particularly easy.
Play 1x with scrubbing: If this option is active, the current position will be played one
time. If it is inactive, then it will be repeated.
Using "Scrubbing"
If scrubbing mode is selected, set the playback marker to a certain location in the
timeline using the mouse. Hold the mouse key and move the playback marker to
various locations in the arrangement.
Scrubbing may be used also by employing the jog and shuttle wheel on the video
monitor, as well as through various hardware controllers, which gives the software the
feel of an analog video editing system!
