ABSTRACT

Anyone who is used to editing audio using quarter inch tape may approach editing on a PC with trepidation. PCs allow you to edit visually rather than using your ears to ‘scrub’ the audio back and forth to hear the edit point. Some Digital Audio Workstations provide a simulation of scrub editing, either using special hardware in the form of a search wheel, or an option to use the computer’s mouse. These are often unsatisfactory because of tiny, but noticeable, processing delays between the mouse movements and hearing the result.
