Playback / Record menu 387
Scrubbing: If you "Insert" ("Insert", or "0" on the number pad), Samplitude Music
Studio 2013 will switch to "Scrubbing" mode, and playback speed can be controlled
directly by the mouse. The further to the right the mouse goes, the faster Samplitude
Music Studio 2013 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 two scrubbing modes ("P"):
Relative: The relative distance between the play cursor (positions bar) and the mouse
position can be used to control the speed. The play cursor follows the movement of
the mouse.
Absolute: You can also use the absolute position of the mouse in the window to
control the speed:
Left border = Double speed backwards
Center = No movement
Right border = Double speed forwards
Tip for scrubbing: For buffer sizes (4000, 2000 samples) scrolling is "softer". Test if
your computer functions at this buffer size without any playback errors.
Combined with "Soft scroll", editing becomes very convenient on faster computers.
