playback starts. When the cursor reaches the left locator, recording is automatically
activated. When the cursor reaches the right locator, recording is deactivated, but
playback continues for the time set in the Post-roll Amount field before stopping.
Playing Back with the Shuttle Speed Wheel
The shuttle speed wheel allows you to play back the project at up to four times the
playback speed, forwards or backwards. This is a quick way to locate or cue to any
position in the project.
• To start playback, turn the shuttle speed wheel to the right.
The further you turn the wheel, the faster the playback speed.
• To play the project backwards, turn the wheel to the left.
The further you turn the wheel, the faster the playback speed.
• To activate insert effects for scrubbing with the shuttle speed wheel, select
File > Preferences > Transport > Scrub and activate Use Inserts While
Scrubbing.
By default, insert effects are bypassed.
NOTE
You can also access the shuttle speed wheel via a remote control device.
Project Scrubbing - The Jog Wheel
The jog wheel allows you to move the playback position forwards or backwards,
much like scrubbing on a tape deck. This helps you pinpoint exact locations in the
project.
