Hello:
How are you able to scrub in SoundForge with the Tranzport?? I used to be able
to scrub with the arrow keys in SoundForge version 4.5, but not since then. Any
help would be appreciated beyond words, which is , as it happens, what I'm
trying to produce on Soundforge. I record audio articles for some magazines
and have been having a night mare in SoundForge trying to get the kind of
precise scrub editing I'm used to in Sonar with the Tranzport.
Thanks for any help you can suggest

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

Hello Chi:
The scrubbing moves as fast as the Tranzport wheel is turned. 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.

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.

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.

I have a couple of questions for tranzport audible scrubbing function.
1. 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
