Scrubbing through an audio clip

[Tone Deft]

nope.

dragging up and down on the measure ticker scrubs ALL the audio playing at the moment no matter where it's coming from.

dont you understand that it is the clip view scrub that is being discussed? Moving the arrangement position is not the answer. Did you even read the last thing i wrote about the scrub tool? It no worky how we likey....

[Tone Deft]

I read what you wrote, you don't understand what I suggested, you didn't even try it.

"All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest..."

I did try it out before posting my answer, i have live open right here. And it was as pointless an exercise as i thought before attempting it. Please tell me how scrolling up and down on the arrangement in beats and bars is the same as scrubbing through an audio file at transient/sample level?

You cannot do it clever clogs.

[Tone Deft]

no, not at the sample level, don't know why you'd want to. I have some thoughts on that but why would I want to have a discussion with someone like you?

kthxbye.

[dna598]

aaaww, i'm sorry babe. Its a cruel world i know, full of brutal truths. But you shouldnt run from the truth.

[Tone Deft]

/sigh. wow. it's not like I wrote the software, I have no vested interest in this. I have never had a need to scrub at the sample level, I can't think of a reason why I'd want to. I might ask you why you'd want to but you're a twat so I don't care to discuss this with you. make a feature request or whatever, no skin off my sack.

[dna598]

Why contribute to a thread about just that (scrubbing PROPERLY),and suggest rubbish non-workarounds like theyre the solution then u utter idiot?
And you call ME a twat.

wow.

I posted to the thread to suggest something new. I try to help, you attack. you give twats a bad name. you're not a twat, I had you on the wrong side of the taint.

see why I don't want to discuss anything with you?

wow...

Its cool i dont want to have a conversation with you either. I dont know why you think I do. Youre assumption that i didnt try your anti-solution combined with the smug poetry was most annoying. Its clear you dont understand the need for these missing functions, or whether u even understand them at all. You might as well suggest the problem/need isnt there and "made up" by the OP like you have done before re slice auditioning.

With my Nocturn (using guille's midi remote script) the User mode page comes with the following among other things: Scrub, Clip scrub, loop start, loop length. These come mapped to the encoders and they work reasonably well for what you seem to be describing.

I know this thread is old but man dna598 you were really wrong my friend. Tone Deft is right:
This is from Thavius Beck and it works just fine:
"If you change the Global Clip Quantization to NONE, you can scrub through your audio in the Sample Editor by hovering your mouse right below the loop bracket (so it becomes a speaker icon), click and hold, then drag the speaker icon through your audio clip."
This also works in the arrangement view as well by scrubbing the time line...like Tone Deft said.

This is scrubbing.

If you refer to the first post in the thread, and carry out the Thavius Beck tip, you will find yourself back at square one. (eg. annoying loop)

Thanks for showing me what scrubbing is. I mean this whole time I thought we were talking about using a brush in the bathtub.
Jokes aside, the scrub capabilities in Ableton are rudimentary at best and should be properly implemented like in other DAWs but to say they don't exist is not correct.
Yes, scrubbing in Live loops around the audio portion immediately under the playhead just like HDCAM SR decks do and that's how we check for lip sync in the video at work instead of ingesting the audio into Pro Tools for example. This is annoying for some but works for others.
