Setting Scrub Length
Before you try using Scrub for the first time, you may want to
adjust the Scrub Length, as this setting affects how Scrub
sounds.
1. To adjust the Scrub length, hold [SHIFT] and press
[SCRUB].
2. The Scrub length is displayed. Use the TIME/VALUE
dial to adjust the time. When you are first getting
familiar with the Scrub function, you may want to try a
longer length, such as 70 or 80ms.

Scrub Length
This sets the length (25ms to 100msec) of audio that is
looped when the SCRUB button is pressed.
3. After you have finished adjusting the Scrub Length,
press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] or [EXIT] to return to the
Playlist display.
General Guidelines for Using Scrub
Before using Scrub, you should do two things:
• Set the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust frame increments.
• Set the Scrub Direction using Preview To and Preview
From.
Set the TIME/VALUE Dial to Adjust Frame
Increments
1. Cursor up [
] to access the top section of the VS-1824
display screen.
2. Press [
] to move the cursor to the last pair of
numbers just after the small "f" in the time display.
These are Sub Frames.

Hour
Minute Second Frame
There are 100 Sub Frames in each frame. With the cursor at
this position, each click of the TIME/VALUE dial advances
the play position by 11 hundredths (11/100th) of a frame.
Hold [SHIFT] and slowly turn the TIME/VALUE dial. Now
each click moves the edit line by exactly one hundredth of a
frame. One hundredth (1/100th) of a frame is equivalent to
one three thousandths (1/3,000th) of a second.

Chapter 11 Editing Tips & Tools
For scrubbing, start with the cursor under the Frame value.
Then later, as you need a finer editing resolution, press
[
] to move the cursor over to Sub Frames. As you try
scrubbing, turn the TIME/VALUE slowly and smoothly for
the best results.
Setting Scrub Direction
When using the Scrub function in the VS-1824, it is possible
to scrub both forward and backward. That is, you can turn
the TIME/VALUE dial either clockwise or counter-clockwise
to find an edit point. If you are trying to find the beginning of
a note or a kick drum, you will most likely start by turning
the TIME/VALUE dial clockwise.
If you are editing dialog and need to find the end of a spoken
word, you would likely locate just past the word and scrub
backwards by turning the TIME/VALUE dial counter-
clockwise until you begin to hear the sound that signifies the
end of the word. When editing dialog, radio or TV spots, you
will probably use the counter-clockwise method of scrubbing
more frequently than when editing music tracks.
Whenever you use Scrub, program the scrub direction for
either clockwise scrubbing or counter-clockwise scrubbing.
Clockwise Scrubbing:
Press [PREVIEW TO] once before pressing [SCRUB]
Counter-clockwise Scrubbing:
Press [PREVIEW FROM] once before pressing [SCRUB]
