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), 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 parameter window (keyboard shortcut: “P”) the following Scrubbing Modes can be set:
Shuttle: ZThe 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 = double speed backwards,
Scrub control fader in the middle = No movement,
Scrub control faders at the right edge = double 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 fast or slowly, whereby a speed of 0 to 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.
Scrubbing in the transport control
Another way of scrubbing is by using the scrub control wheel of the transport control. Right-clicking on the scrub control wheel opens a dialog where you can also carry out the variable speed settings as described above.
