johnpeeee Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone could advise me on a problem I’m having with the scrub tool. I press J and little speaker the icon appears but when I scrub across the waveform I don’t hear anything. Any thoughts? thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Does the track play when you engage the transport normally? Muted Clip? Muted Track? Muted Bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpeeee Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi, yes he track plays normally. My thoughts were initially the same as yours , was the track muted or other tracks soloed but nope everything was ‘free’. thanks for replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Um. I don't normally use Scrub, so I tried some tests and I can reliably "White-Screen" Cakewalk just by enabling the audio engine and attempting to scrub some audio. Or MIDI. Hmm.

Tez Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @johnpeeee I get the scrub tool to work in the PRV for midi, for an audio track in the track view first drag with the scrub tool in the horizontal ruler, to hear all tracks, then try an individual track, that's how I got it work...

johnpeeee Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi, yeah that’s what I’m doing I’ve never had a problem with it before. I don’t use it that often in fact this may be the first time since I switched from SONAR to Cakewalk by bandlab. I was just surprised that it didn’t work. Do you think there might be something in preferences? I’ve looked but nothing stands out. thanks for replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, as far as I can tell for MIDI, the scrub tool only works in the PRV and the Staff View, the audio engine must be on and the now time line follows the mouse's pace as dragged . In the track view for an audio clip, for a single track, the mouse must be in the track lane, the audio engine if off should get switched on at the start of the drag, but if the speed of the drag is greater than the tempo would move the now time line, it will move the now time at the speed of the tempo. If you slip out of the track into a non-audio space whilst still dragging the sound will stop but the now time line still follows the mouse. When the drag stops, the audio engine is switched off. So, for me it seems to work as expected... The only thing I can suggest is to have the latest version installed and maybe apply the latest hotfix for numerous bugs: That's what I've got installed...

johnpeeee Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks for the reply. I’m all up to date etc. It’s baffling though. I may try a full reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case did you try "To bypass the current volume and pan settings when scrubbing, hold down the ALT key. This will force scrubbing to play back at unity gain and centered", just a thought...

johnpeeee Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 I did try that yes. No joy but I went back to the restore point I created before the last update and it worked. Reinstalled the new update and it works. Odd but all seems to be ok again. Thanks for your time. john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojtek Stecyszyn Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Hi guys. New question (I don't want to open new topic for this) in Cakewalk Documentation we read: However in my case Scrub Tool IS AFFECTED by Mute/Solo of a track. I cant scrub z clip on a muted track, or scrub a track when other is soloed. How it it in your case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
