Pinpointing an Event with the PREVIEW Buttons

1.

Position the timeline in the general area of the event you want to pinpoint, noting
its position in the current time location display.

2.

Press PREVIEW TO to see if the preview reaches the event or plays right through it.

3.

If PREVIEW TO doesn’t reach the event, move the timeline forward in time slightly.
If it plays through the event, move the timeline back a little.

4.

Press PREVIEW TO again.

5.

Repeat Steps 2-4 until the preview ends just at the beginning of the event.

6.

Note the timeline’s current position and press PREVIEW FROM.

7.

Make sure that none of the event is being chopped off at the front, and that as soon
as you hit PREVIEW FROM, you hear the event.

8.

Adjust the timeline’s position as necessary, checking it with PREVIEW FROM.

9.

When you’re satisfied that you have the timeline positioned at the moment at
which the event occurs, place a locator or a marker so that you can easily return to
the event as you need to.

Setting the PREVIEW TO and FROM Times

1.

Press UTILITY.

2.

If “PlyRec” isn’t displayed above F4, press PAGE until it is.

3.

Press F4 (PlyRec).

4.

Press F2 (Param2).

5.

Set PREVIEW TO LENGTH and PREVIEW FROM LENGTH to the desired times,
in tenths of a second, from 1.0 sec to 10.0 sec.

6.

Press F6 (EXIT) to confirm your changes.

Scrub

When you want to find an audio event with absolutely
microscopic precision—such as when you’re editing
tracks—use the Scrub feature. Scrub plays a tiny piece of
the project quickly over and over so that as you move the
timeline in small increments, you can find precisely what
you’re looking for. You can set Scrub to play before or after
the timeline using the PREVIEW TO or FROM buttons.
You can also set the Scrub length.

In the above instructions, we used both PREVIEW TO and FROM. You may not always
need to use both to find the location you’re looking for.
