Finding the start or end of a section of audio (Scrub/Preview)
The Scrub function:
When you are editing a song, you will often need to know
exactly where a section of audio starts or exactly where to set
up the punch in position for the automatic start of recording.
the BR-1600CD provides a convenient Scrub function that
you can use to locate these positions.
When you play back your song using Scrub, an extremely
short section of audio (i.e., 45 ms) either immediately before
or immediately after the current position will be played back
repeatedly. Furthermore, when Scrub is combined with
another function known as Preview, you can search for
breaks between phrases using a longer repeat time (i.e., 1.0 s).
The Preview function
Preview is a function that allows you to play the one-second
section of audio either before or after the current position.
By combining Preview and Scrub, you can move the current
position in small increments to easily locate breaks between
phrases.
For more detailed information regarding the usage of
Preview, refer to “Using Scrub and Preview to find the end of
a section of audio” (p. 55).
Using Scrub to find the start
of a section of audio
1. Hold down [STOP] and press [PLAY].
[PLAY] will start flashing and scrubbing will begin.
The level meter for the currently selected track will also
be shown on the display at this time.
In addition, the track that is currently being scrubbed
will be indicated at the top of the screen.
The BR-1600CD will display either [ ] (SCRUB TO) or
[ ] (SCRUB FROM) beside “SCRUB” to indicate
whether scrubbing is being performed to or from the
current position. For more detailed information
regarding changing of this scrubbing direction, refer to
“Changing the scrubbing direction.”

2. Press the TRACK button for the track you want to
scrub.
3. Move the current position little by little using the
TIME/VALUE dial, searching for the point at which the
next phrase begins (i.e., the start of the section of
audio).
4. When you have located the start of the section of audio,
press [STOP] to stop scrubbing.
In order that this point may be easily found again later
on, it is a good idea to press [MARK] at this time to place
a marker at the current position. SCRUB
