Audio Scrubbing Analogue & Digital

Hi,
I am about to be a new user of CS5 Production Premium. New Certified system on order (Z800). I have been to a demo of CS5 and spent sometime looking around this forum etc. and could not find the answer I wanted. My question is:
Duringthe demo audio scrubbing was demonstarted and the the audio was a digital output of sound (resulting jerky audio). I asked if it was possible to switch the scrubbed sound to analougue for a smooth rendition of the timeline track. The demonstrator did not know if thiswas a feture in CS5.
Suffice to say for me this restriction would mean a difficult edit as I oftem require to sync classical music with say subtle instument sounds from different sources of the same event sound. Is it possible to scrubb in analogue type audio out rather than digital.
I am changing over after a long decision form Liquid (Avid) as MC does not fit the bill for me. So Adobe CS5 here I come in a few weeks time. Yes - a new learning curve and perhaps a few more questions here.
Anyway I Hope some of you wise owls will be able to let me know. I am based here in Shakespeare Land - Stratford-upon-Avon UK.
Thanks in Anticipation.
Gavin.

But, soft! what light through yonder browser breaks? It is the answer, and JKL Play is the sun.
(Sorry... had to...)
Gavin (and Craig),
You can achieve what you're looking for by holding down the "K" key (pause) and alternatively pressing and holding "J" (reverse) or "L" (forward) to playback audio in a slow, analog, reel-to-reel fashion. Instead of individual time segment samples, you'll a slower and lower pitched audio playback that is continuous, versus the usual "step" playback you get when navigating with the arrow keys. You can also get the analog-style playback using the Shuttle slider in the Source or Program Monitors (found just under the transport controls). Where the JKL Play is limited to one speed, you can achieve variable playback, both slower and faster, using the Shuttle slider. The Jog wheel behaves like the arrow key "frame-by-frame" movement though, so it won't work for what you're after.
Hope that helps.

Is STP audio 'scrub stutter' a known issue?

Greetings...I just installed Soundtrack Pro 1.03 on a Dual 1.25 G4. I get the audio stuttering problem some have reported when using HD video, but I'm not using video at all. It happens with my RME card or Apple System Audio, both in Waveform & Multitrack mode. It does not happen in Digital Performer or any other music app I use with all the same settings.
Anyone else having this STP audio scrubbing problem in 10.4.4?
Apple, is this a known issue with a fix on the way? (A reply would be appreciated).
Description:
a.Scrub audio by dragging the SPL, or hitting Control after Play, and audio constantly rapid fires fast repeats. If I hold the mouse still, audio constantly repeats while the audio track is stationary, until I click away.
Also the SPL won't move when dragging the green triangle in the Waveform Editor. It does drag on my Panther partition, but the audio stutters there also when trying to scrub.
Thanks in advance for any replies or communicating a known fix.

Thanks for your reply - I've been editing audio since those dinosaurs where around, and still find scrubbing useful when I'm cleaning up guitar parts or vocal tracks. So it's disappointing to not have a clean sound when scrubbing in STP.
So does my description match what you hear on your system if you scrub? Do you hear the 'rapid fire' playback when your audio is 'looping' when you scrub?
If yes, then I'd call that a known issue. It would be nice to hear a confimation from Apple if that's the case. If anyone there is monitoring this, please reply.
(To update my original post, I've reinstalled 10.4.4 on a fresh partition and I can now drag the green playback rectangle in the ruler area. STP still stutters, however, when scrubbing audio, and that's using Apple system audio, no 3rd party drivers.)

Experiencing issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere cc 2014

Since upgrading I've been having issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere CC 2014.
Some of the time it won't scrub at all (silence) when I know that scrubbing option is turned on. Other times it will scrub the wrong section of the timeline, I'll hear dialogue from a different point in a clip.
Much of the time I experience this I'm working with multicam clips in sequences.
Working on iMac 2013, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 780
thank you.

Currently using / testing a 30 day trial of CC 2014 (CS5 user for years with no issues) and all was fine yesterday when editing. Turned on today and had no way to scrub audio. Also had no Intensity Pro external monitor which worked fine the day before. Restarted PC and still nothing so starting poking around with the playback settings in preferences by choosing Adobe Desktop audio in the audio device section choosing OK then selecting back to Blackmagic audio then hit Ok. All of a sudden there was my external monitor and was able to scrub audio again. It's like it's sleeping knowing it should work until you poke it a few times to wake it up. How my Intensity Pro external monitor and scrubbing audio being related in any way is perplexing. Or am I being obtuse?
I would contact Blackmagic Design to make sure your drivers are current. Can you try that?

Audio scrubbing just moves audio clip

Hello; I'm a new iMovie user and I'm just finding my way around in the program. I have an old G4 with iMovie 4.01 and I can't seem to get the audio scrubbing to work. According to the Pogue book on iLife 04, "In iMovie 04, for the first time, you can scrub by Option-dragging your mouse back and forth across an audio clip. iMovie plays the sound under your cursor." [p. 361]
So far everything I've tried has just ended up moving the audio clip from side to side, Option key or not. What am I not doing right here?
Thanks.

Bit unstable ..but Apple warns that it still is; "use at own risk", etc.
I wanted to see if current (version 6.0.3) iMovie HD, etc, works OK with the new system. So far, no problems.
Safari looks a little different - different typeface, and these buttons at the bottom of each post ("Did this topic solve your issue? Yes No") appear odd ..but maybe that's because it's still in the process of being tweaked and refined. There's a handy "make an Widget" button in Safari, letting me draw around, say, the topmost 10 posts on this page, and then I can call that back as a Widget overlay on top of anything else which is on the screen ..making it easy to pop in and out of Discussions..
Just downloaded a newer version yesterday, but have yet to install it (today).

Audio scrubbing in Encore CS4?

It would be very helpful to have audio scrubbing, as I am trying to adjust subtle timing issues for subtitles. Is there any way to get audio scrubbing in Encore CS4?

Thank you for your comment and for the link. I eventually figured out
exactly the "work around" that you suggest, and it gets the job done, but as
you say, audio scrub would be the ideal feature for what I am doing. Thanks
again.

Subject: Audio scrubbing in Encore CS4?
There is no scrubbing of Audio, that I know of. The closest would be to
horizontally expand the Timeline and use a drag-back, Spacebar (to Play), on
that Timeline.
At first, I could not see the use for this feature, but kept re-reading your
comment on Subtitles and all of a sudden it hit me. Sounds like a useful
feature for how you intend to use it.

HT2844 iMac 27"(late 2009), Audio in/Optical digital audio out port, stopped recognizing my new Bose speaker system, previously working...

Hello,
My iMac 27"(late 2009), Audio in/Optical digital audio out port, stopped recognizing my new Bose speaker system, previously working through that port. I tested the speaker system through my iPhone, and it works fine. I hooked it up to the Headphone out/Optical digital audio in port, and it works through that port also. I did a computer restart, I also checked all wiring and did a system repair on the computer. I also restarted the computer in mode where I could use the system utility, and the computer still did not correct the matter, and it reported everything as being "ok". I wented into "sound", through system preferences, and the computer does not recognize anything I plug into the Audio in/Optical digital audio out port. When I plug the speaker sysytem into the headphone out/optical digital audio out port, it does recognize the Bose speaker system as being "headphones".
Reading through a lot of forums, I hear everything from compatibility, to the port being stuck, and on and on. Since the port was working before, and just quit working one day, I wonder if there is a capacitor or fuse or some type of similar thing is blown, and causing the port to be unfunctionable. Maybe the port went bad, but before this time, I had never used it, and the computer does not move around, and I never plug in and pull wiring out unless needing to, and that being rare.
Here is a link to Costco, where I bought the system, and the exact system I have, if this is any help: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku= A4092931&ST=pla&dgc=ST&cid=262075&lid=4742361&acd=1230980794501410
By the way, I am running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I upgraded to Mavericks about a month ago, and expeirienced a number of issues, and had to take my iMac into Apple. Talking with the tech, I decided to wait for a while more before I upgraded to Mavericks. I try and keep the computer maintained.
If any of you have any ideas regadrding wear and tear, and fix I can do, etc., besides having to take my computer into Apple? Thank you, and potentially all of you, for your time and effort in helping me with this issue. Thank you kindly.
davE

Okay, davE, first, you have posted in the "Mac Pro" forum (not Macbook Pro), so we can't be super helpful
but we help you. First, hold down the Option key while clicking on the speaker icon at the top of your screen. This should show you all the inputs and outputs you have. you could check in "About this Mac" then "More info" to see whatever's recognized. Then, maybe, fire up Audio MIDI. your speaker system should show up there. something might have gotten set incorrectly. You can test it there. I guess you are using the good ol' analog cable for connection, and it works on your iPhone, so the cable isn't bad. You could try this. it 's an adapter which might solve your problem

depending on which model of Bose speaker you have, you might try doing a product reset
turn off speakers...unplug power cord from outlet...wait 1 minute..plug cord into outlet..turn on speakers..

press and hold top of control pod for 6 seconds until you hear 2 tones that go from high to low

Audio scrub not working?

Hi
Sometimes, including now, when I try to scrub the audio on timeline or viewer, anything over 1x speed is silent - sometimes however it will give me the 2 or more x speed and I can hear the audio scrub - what settings do I need to mess with to insure I will always have scrub on any project?

Question regarding mic plugged into audio in/optical digital audio in port

So I have this external headset... headphone/mic set combo... I plug the headphone jack in the headphone slot and the mic jack in the audio in/optical digital audio in port slot in the back of my IMAC. I go to my system preferences select "sound" and "line in - Audio line in port". But when recording, it's still recording from the internal mic? How do I just record just from the external mic??? What am I doing wrong? I've read all the other questions regarding how to get the external mics to work, but it's still recording from the internal mic? Help?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I never expected APPLE wouldn't make a mac that didn't have a proper mic jack?
It has a proper one, a good one, a professional one, not the toy that comes with most PCs. Apple has used line level analog audio input for years.
From Wikipedia;Line level is a term used to denote the strength of an audio signal used to transmit analog sound information between audio components such as CD and DVD players, TVs, audio amplifiers, and mixing consoles.
In contrast to line level, there are weaker audio signals, such as those from microphones and instrument pickups, and stronger signals, such as those used to drive headphones and loudspeakers. The strength of the various signals does not necessarily correlate with the output voltage of a device; it also depends on the source's output impedance, or the amount of current available to drive different loads.

Audio In/Optical Digital Audio In

I have a pair of JBL Duet computer speakers connected to the Headphone Out port of my Mac mini. They work fine.
QUESTION: Is it possible to play a 5-disc carousel CD player (Sony/JVC/Sherwood) through the Mac mini & those speakers WITHOUT first going through an amplifier?
On the CD players, I see three (3) possibilities using an adapter cable into the mini's Audio In/Optical Digital Audio In port:
1. Headphone Jack w/Volume Control > Could an analog cable be used to go from the CD player's front 1/4" headphone jack to a 3.5mm stereo mini-phono jack into the mini? Would a CD player's front panel headphone jack provide sufficient volume, or just enough for headphones?
2. Analog > Use the CD player's rear L/R analog out (RCA-type) into the mini's 3.5mm stereo mini-phono jack. Would there be sufficient volume without an amplifier?
3. Digital > Use the CD player's rear Digital Audio (Optical) Out to the mini's Optical Digital Audio In. Would there be sufficient volume without an amplifier?
Any advice/recommendation with specific info on appropriate adapter cable would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Mac mini Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks, good thought.
I believe this variation will work also: I see your idea requires Quicktime Pro for that new recording (monitoring) function. I only have Quicktime Player (no recording), but I do have Toast 8's CD Spin Doctor, which will provide the same monitor/output function (select "Play Input through Speakers" and slide speaker icon to the right).
Other readers-- If any other cable connections work, please add to the discussion. Thanks.

Audio Scrubbing shortcut...Shift + S

Shift + S does not do anything. I always have to go to Preferences to turn on/off audio scrubbing.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like how your audio is configured, kind of audio file used, timeline settings and screenshot of the waveform and Preview panel and so on.

Audio Scrubbing Patch

Dear Adobe staff, I'm an animation artist and I've been a loyal customer of your products for more than five years. I just recently acquired an add-on that allows me to animate more efficiently in Photoshop. Unfortunately, when I tried to animate with audio I was unable to scrub through it. I know you've said in the past that you don't have an audio scrubbing feature in any version of photoshop, but do you plan on making a patch or update for it in the future? If so, than that would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.

Audio scrubbing

Is there any way to scrub audio in the timline in PS CC?    I cant see the point of making animation and video editing possible when something so basic an neccessary as audio scrubbing is not supported??    However I have ssen some amazing animations apparently made in PS but I dont understand how anyone can animate a talking character without the ability to scrub for lip syncing etc?   Can someone please explain?

Traditional 2D animation requires software that enables you to paint frame by frame. After effects is not very good for that at all, its way too limited. and Premiere Pro is video editing not animation software.
What Im trying to understand is how this is done? How does one paint a frame by frame animation with a character speaking and know what they are supposed to be painting or even know the timing of certain things that might happen with sound?   You need to be able to scrub for this to be accurate. Actually how did they do this before computers also??
I understand after effects has great motion tweening and puppetry abilities but this is not the same as hand drawn animation.
If they are not using photoshop then what are they using?
Apparently this animation I have linked to below was made in photoshop.

Inaccurate audio scrubbing

I have a simple voice track recorded inside CS6 and am hearing that audio scrubbing doesn't match up with the waveform. It is early by about 3 frames.
So at first I wondered which one to trust, but from dragging a selection and playing that, the waveform is correct and scrubbing is wrong.

Only if you erase your entire hard disk before the reinstall.
If you follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3878, you can keep your apps, settings, and data.
If you want more info on the subject, take a look at Kappy's answer here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531813. Kappy is an expert I trust on this topic. You should have no trouble if you follow his instructions carefully.
One trick that might help you is to print out the linked info that you find helpful so you can check off the steps as you are reinstalling.
Of course, making a fresh backup (Time Machine or other) on a different disk immediately before reinstalling, updating, or adding new software is always recommended "just in case" something goes wrong. If some data files do get lost or damaged, you can copy them back from the backup.
However, when OS or app software that is showing signs of trouble need to be reinstalled for any reason, it seems possible to me that copying the software to your freshly restored system from a backup might copy the problem back with the software. Therefore, I always recommend that such software be reinstalled from its original distribution source rather than from a backup or migration assistant. Copying your data files from a backup does not pose similar possible vulnerability.

Missing audio scrubbing with CC2014 & BM Decklink Extreme

After the upgrading to CC2014 I cannot hear anything during audio scrubbing.
It works if I use the internal speaker of the MacPro but not with BM.
That's crazy, every time you do a major upgrade tons of audio problems appear.
Any advice?
Thanks
Piero

Thanks for your quick reply, Rob.
Under that same suspicion, I had also checked BlackMagic's website and discovered that it is, in fact, supported by Core Audio, as you can see here on the right:
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/hd/workflow/
Further, the card works perfectly when running Soundtrack Pro, which is why I'm curious what is happening within Logic that creates this problem..
