I beg to differ with you on Sound Forge scrubbing! It's much more precise and much easier to do than Sonar.

This is much like disengaging the capstand on an old Teacc reel to reel tape deck and slowly or quickly spinning the reels to locate a splice point. The heads remained engaged and it sounded pretty weird, but it was very easy to find a splice point. The Tranzport works the same way. as you spin the wheel, the mythical head is scrubbed across the region slowly or as quickly as you spin , so you can easily home in on a beat, breath or other very tight splicing point. While there is a small gap between when you stop spinning and when the scrub head stops, it's real easy to get use to it and you can be incredibly accurate. You can go as fast or as slow as you need to. I just wish the Tranzport worked like this in SoundForge. It would be awesome to do a master with this scrubbing technology. If you're interested, there is an excellent demo done by Gordon on the Dancing Dots list showing off many of the aspects of the Tranzport. hth Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chi Kim Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 10:37 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Tranzport Audible Scrubbing Ah ha, so tranzport also has the delay. Doesn't it make it really hard to pinpoint the right spot to punch/edit though? for example, if you want to find a certain word from a phrase that the vocalist sang with one breath. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Molzow To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 6:46 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Tranzport Audible Scrubbing Hello Chi: IN answer to your questions, The Tranzport knob is de-tented so you can feel small little bumps as you turn it. Although, to my ear, there are no abrupt changes in the sound. It is very smooth. Yes, there is a slight delay from when you stop turning the knob when scrubbing and when the "Tranzport" stops moving, but it is very easy to get used to.

When you use dial to change values or scrub, for every increament, is there a bump you can feel as you turn the dial, or is it just one fluid motion? In other words, can you count how much you turned precisely? 2. Is there little bit of delay between the moment when you stop turning the dial and the moment scrubbing actually finishes? In other words, does the scrubbing stops immediatly as soon as you stop. Thanks, Chi
