Scrubbing

Another useful function in the HD24 is scrubbing
audio. This is especially useful when trying to
locate the exact start of a note while editing, for
example.
If any tracks are selected for editing (see Chapter
6), only these tracks will scrub. If no tracks are
selected for editing, all tracks in the session will
scrub.
The speed of scrubbing will change the longer
you hold the keys—it starts at a very slow crawl,
then advances to several times play speed.
