Get Jim's Snowbarger's Jaws scripts, that is if your using Jaws.
They only cost $35 and they are worth every pennies.
If you google for Soundforge jaws scripts, you'll find his web site quite 
easily.

  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
  Jeff Molzow

    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. 

      hth
      Jeff

        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. 

        HTH
        Jeff

        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
