Playback parameters
Keyboard shortcut: P
The playback rate can be adjusted with Samplerate
as far as the sound card permits. Use the varipitch feature to adjust the speed during playback or for
non-supported sample rates.
Device:
Allows you to define the device used for playback if it is to occur via a card. This is particularly
important if you have several sound cards installed on your computer.
Use Autoscroll
to activate a feature which is especially useful when working with long HD wave projects: The graphical
display always changes when the play cursor (position line) leaves the visible section. This way you
always have a good overview of the settings, whereby it has proven most sensible to display the current
project in two sections ("Setup -> 2 sections"), one displaying the entire project and one in a useful zoom
depth with autoscrolling.
You can choose between page and soft scrolling. But be careful: Scrolling requires CPU
power (depending on the processor, graphics adaptor, and resolution), and the CPU may be
overloaded in critical situations, resulting in playback dropouts. You should then deactivate autoscroll
mode.
Scrubbing:
If you press "Ins" ("Insert" or "0" on the number pad), Samplitude Music Studio 15 will switch to
"Scrubbing" mode, i.e. playback speed can be controlled directly by the mouse. The further to the right
the mouse goes, the faster Samplitude Music Studio 15 plays.
In comparison to many HD recording systems, this even works in a virtual multitrack project.
Use scrubbing mode to find passages, crackling, etc. in material – the older generation of sound
engineers are, no doubt, very familiar with this method from analog tape editing.
There are 2 scrubbing modes available (in the playback parameter window: "P"):
