Finding an Event with Microscopic Precision Using Scrub

1. Press HOME•DISPLAY.
2. Move the timeline to approximately the location of the event you want to locate.
3. Select the track containing the event you seek.
4. Press STOP if the project’s playing back.
5. Press WAVE DISPLAY to view the track’s audio in a magnified view.
6. Press PLAY to visually locate the event you’re looking for.
7. Press SCRUB—you hear the VS-2480 play a short chunk of audio over and over.
8. Press PREVIEW TO to set Scrub so that it’s set to play audio leading up to the event.
9. In the current time location display, underline the subframe time value so you can
move the timeline in tiny time increments.
10. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial slowly to find the timeline position just before the
event.
11. Press PREVIEW FROM to set Scrub to play from the event and on.
12. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to set the timeline’s position so that it’s at the very start
of the event.
13. Press SCRUB again to turn it off.
14. Place a locator (Page 185) or marker (Page 188) at the timeline’s position—you can
use the locator or marker to move to this spot during track editing.

Setting Scrub 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 SCRUB LENGTH to the desired time, from 25 ms (milliseconds) to 100 ms.
6. Press F6 (EXIT) to confirm your changes.

Locators

The VS-2480 can memorize up to 100 locations in a project, allowing you to jump to any
one of them instantly. This makes it easy to quickly get from place to place without
having to slow down to hunt for each section of the project you need to get to. Each
place you want the VS-2480 to remember is stored in its memory as a “locator.” To jump
to that place, recall the locator and the timeline instantly moves to its position in the
project.
Locators are stored in ten locator banks, numbered from 0-9. Each bank can contain up
to 10 locators, also numbered 0-9. You can also name each locator to help remind you
where in the project it’ll take you—see “Editing Locators” on Page 186.
If you’re looking for an event in a single track, you may find it useful to switch to the
wave display’s microscopic view (Page 238) when you’re searching for exact locations
using the Scrub feature, as described below. It’ll let you see what you’re hearing.
Scrub typically plays such a short fragment of audio that you won’t see the timeline
moving in the wave display as it works.
It’s best to use locators to store the locations of sections of your project, as opposed to
the locations of individual audio events. Since locators are so easy to recall, they’re
great for getting around. For places you want to bookmark but don’t plan to visit often,
use markers (Page 188)—you can have up to 1,000 markers in project.
