Search For The Music's Start And End (Scrub/Preview); Scrubbing To Find The Music Starting Point - Boss BR-1180 Owner's Manual

Search for the music's start and end (Scrub/Preview)

Scrub Function
When editing a sound, there are times when you need to
know exactly where the sound starts, or exactly where the
recording with an auto punch in starts. To enable you to find
these points accurately, your BR-1180/1180CD is equipped
with the Scrub Function.
When you play back using the Scrub function, an extremely
short portion (45 msec) either before or after the current
location will be played back repeatedly. By using this in
conjunction with the Preview function, you can scrub-play
back the material before the current location, or use a longer
time than scrub (1.0 seconds) to find breaks between phrases
(p. 65).
Preview Function
With the Preview Function, you can playback the one-second
portion of the song before or after your current position.
By using this together with the Scrub Function, at the same
time slowly moving your current position in the song, it
becomes easy to find the exact transition point from one
phrase to the next.
For details on how to use the Scrub and Preview function
together, refer to "Using Scrub and Preview to find the music
ending point" (p. 65).
