Adjusting Digital Scrub Parameters
The default parameters for the number of frames you hear as you scrub are zero frames of
outgoing audio (behind the position indicator) and one frame of incoming audio (ahead of the
position indicator). To isolate frames for marking or trimming, the default parameters are
sufficient.
You can increase these settings to include more frames of audio on either side — for example,
when you want to sample whole words or parts of words as you scrub to find edit points within a
phrase. You can also reverse the settings to sample frames behind the position indicator
(outgoing frames) as you scrub. You should avoid increasing the number of sampled frames on
both sides at once because this can make it difficult to isolate an edit point or trim point based on
the location of the position indicator.
To adjust the parameters for digital scrub:
1. Double-click Audio in the Settings list in the Project window.
The Audio Settings dialog box opens.

The Play Buffer Size in Samples option and the Tool Buffer Size in Samples option appear only if
your Avid editing application is not using Avid input/output hardware (software-only).
2. Click in a text box and type a new number of outgoing or incoming frames on the source
side, the record side, or both.
The new parameters take effect.
Performing Digital Audio Scrub
