Linking the File Editor Selection and the Cycle Region
You can link the File Editor tab to the Cycle Region so that when you make selections in
the File Editor tab (or selections of clips in the Timeline with the Timeslice tool),
Soundtrack Pro automatically adjusts the Cycle Region to match the selection.
To link the Cycle Region to File Editor and Timeslice selections
1 Click the Link button in the File Editor tab.
2 Do one of the following:
• Make a selection in the File Editor tab.
• Using the Timeslice tool, select a portion of a clip in the Timeline.
The Cycle Region adjusts accordingly.
Scrubbing Audio Files
Scrubbing an audio file lets you hear the audio at the playhead position as you drag the
playhead so you can quickly find a particular sound or event in the audio file. The
Soundtrack Pro Scrub tool provides detailed scrubbing that realistically approximates the
“rock-the-reels” scrubbing on analog tape decks.
To scrub an audio file with the Scrub tool
1 In the Timeline or the File Editor, click the Scrub tool (or press H).

2 Drag the Scrub tool left or right across a clip in the Timeline or across the File Editor.
Use the Scrub tool
to scrub through
an audio file.
When you use the Scrub tool in the multitrack Timeline, you can only scrub one clip at a
time. To scrub multiple tracks at once, scrub with the playhead.
To scrub an audio file with the playhead
1 Press and hold the triangular part of the playhead.
2 Drag left or right at the speed you want to scrub the audio file.
