Scrubbing a Project

You can scrub a multitrack project in the Timeline or scrub an audio file project in the

Waveform Editor. Scrubbing the project lets you hear the audio at the playhead position

as you drag the playhead, so you can find a particular sound or event in the audio file.

To scrub a project:

m In the Timeline or the Waveform Editor, drag the playhead left or right at the speed you

want to scrub the audio file.

You can also scrub a selection in the Waveform Editor, which is useful for determining

where you want the selection to end.

To scrub a selection in the Waveform Editor:

m Hold down the Control key as you select part of an audio file.

As you drag, you hear the selection.
