Scrubbing and Shuttling
The data wheel on the US-428 can be use to scrub and shuttle audio in Pro Tools, and to create
selections of data for editing. Here's a brief example of how to use these features to select some audio.
Please refer to the CS-10 chapter of the MIDI Controller Guide (listed below) for lots of details.
This description assumes that "Edit Insertion Follows Scrub/Shuttle" is disabled under
Setups/Preferences.../Operation. Press F3 to go into shuttle mode, and move the data wheel to shuttle
the cursor near your desired start point. Press F2 to go into scrub mode. Scrub the audio with the data
wheel to find your approximate start point. Now hold down SET and scrub towards the end point. Hey,
you're creating a selection. Press <BANK to go to the start of the selection, hold down SET and F1, and
scrub more finely, adjusting the exact selection start point. Press BANK> to do the same to trim the end
point. Now press F2 or STOP to exit scrub mode.
You can switch between scrub and shuttle modes at any time, and can leave scrub or shuttle mode by
pressing the button with the lit up LED or STOP. Note that the normal transport controls, and much else,
are disabled when in scrub or shuttle mode. Again, the Pro Tools documentation has much more details
about using a MIDI controller for such functions. Check it out.
Zoom/Scroll/Edit
Several key commands, listed in the Summary, exist to perform various zooming, scrolling, and editing
functions.
