Scrub with Trim
Control|24 supports Trim/Scrub mode, which
lets you scrub to locate an edit point, then trim
to that point in one operation.
To use Trim/Scrub:
1
Identify and navigate to a region or selection
you want to Trim/Scrub.
2
Press and hold either the SCRUB or SHUTTLE
switch for at least one second (wait for the TRIM
switch to flash) to enable Trim/Scrub mode.
– or –
To focus the Trim/Scrub at the end of a selection
or selected region, hold Alt (Windows) or Op-
tion (Mac) while enabling Trim/Scrub mode.
3
Move the Scrub/Shuttle wheel as needed to
scrub or shuttle.
4
To trim to the current scrub/shuttle location,
press TRIM, SCRUB, or SHUTTLE. To cancel
without trimming, press STOP, PLAY, or ES-
CAPE.
If no region is selected when Trim/Scrub mode is
enabled, scrub begins from the edit cursor loca-
tion and will trim to the right. Holding the Alt
(Windows) or Option (Mac) key reverses the
Trim tool and will trim to the left.
As with normal Scrub, hold Alt (Windows) or
Option (Mac) to scrub from selection or region
end.
Using Shuttle Mode
To use Shuttle mode:
1
Press the SHUTTLE switch while Pro Tools is
not playing or recording.
2
Rotate the shuttle wheel clockwise to shuttle
audio forward, or counter-clockwise to shuttle
backward. The REW and FWD switch LEDs will
light (just like the on-screen Transport buttons
in Pro Tools). The shuttle start position will be
the location of the Edit cursor for a current
waveform selection, or the location of the Play-
back cursor location if there is no current selec-
tion.
Using the Numeric Keypad for Shuttle “lock”
Mode
While in Shuttle mode, you can use the numeric
keypad to control shuttle speed (with “0” being
off, +9 being the fastest forward shuttle and –9
being the fastest reverse shuttle speed). The +/–
keys are used to control shuttle lock direction of
play.
There are two ways to exit Shuttle mode:
■
Press the SHUTTLE switch or any of the Trans-
port switches.
– or –
■
Press the spacebar on the computer keyboard,
while pressing ESC/CANCEL on Control|24, or
pressing
(CTL)+“.” (period).
