Summary of Using Scrub

Before using Scrub, remember to do these five things:

1.Cursor up [ ] to access the top section of the VS-1824 display screen.

2.Press [ ] so the cursor (underline) is positioned under either Frames or Sub Frames in the Time Display.

3.Press [TO] once to set the Scrub direction to Clockwise or [FROM] for Counter-clockwise.

4.Use [ ] and [ ] to select the track which is heard during Scrub.

5.Press [SCRUB].

Waveform Display

The pop-up waveform display in the VS-1824 is very useful for precision editing. The waveform shows audio amplitudes of the recorded track. You can use the function buttons to manipulate the resolution of this waveform for very precise location of edit points.

1.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to view the Playlist Display.

2.Cursor down [ ] to access the lower section of the VS-1824 display screen.

3.Press [F5 (WAVE)]. If “WAVE” does not appear above [F5], press [PAGE] until it appears, and then press [F5 (WAVE)].

Cursor Expansion in the level direction Expansion in the time direction

6.When the waveform is displayed, the function buttons operate as follows:

[F1 (ZOOM+)]:

Increases the amplitude of the waveform display, in three steps. This makes the waveform taller in the display.

[F2 (ZOOM-)]:

Decreases the amplitude of the waveform display, in three steps. This makes the waveform shorter in the display.

[F3 (←→ )]:

Decreases the time-zoom of the waveform display, in four stages. This zooms back on the timeline.

[F4 (→← )]:

Increases the time-zoom of the waveform display, in four stages. This zooms in on the timeline.

[F5 (WAVE)]:

Removes the waveform display from the screen.

7.When you are done viewing the waveform for a track, press [F5 (WAVE)] to turn the waveform display off.

4.Use[ ] and [ ] to select the track to view.

5.If after you press [F5 (WAVE)], a flat line appears in the waveform window, try the following:

Make sure you have selected a location on a track that has audio on it.

Press [F1 (ZOOM+)] three times to increase the amplitude of the waveform.

Press [F3 (←→ )] four times to decrease the time zoom of the waveform.
