which allows you, the Creator/Engineer/Producer, to hear sound in real-time while manipulating the position of the playback cursor. [1] This can be useful in highlighting or pinpointing sections of an audio track you’d like to manipulate, or listen to for something particular. Example (on when to scrub) Lets say you just recorded a verse, and you’re listening to your verse as a solo track in your DAW (i.e. no other tracks play EXCEPT the verse). And you hear additional ‘white-noise’ in the background (pausing between words, ad-libs, etc. aka dead space) then, you’d scrub over the track pinpointing these unwanted clear spaces and crop them out of the audio track. This will make for a more sonically pleasing vocal track as the recording areas where no words are being expressed, is now removed so the beat isn’t being screwed with by the present of just empty-air on the track (if that makes sense)
were idle yet still in playback mode. The engineer would hand- rock the tape reels back and forth to find a precise spot, mark it with a grease pencil, and then edit or cut and splice the tape. With digital audio systems, you use a scrub wheel, mouse or a keyboard command that will let you drag the cursor across a track’s waveform image while it plays back in relation to your cursor’s movement” [2]
process in which you combine (or stack) 2 or more of the same track together (one on top of another) to achieve a more powerful or intense output for that particular track. [3]
above image) So here we see 5 audio tracks. All appear somewhat similar with slight variations in the wavform on each track. But overall, we can deduce these are the same tracks. Notice first, the red-box area. Notice how the balance knobs are being manipulate to hit different ends of the spectrum? this allows you to help strengthen weak areas of a audio track you’ve recorded. So let me give an example of drum sample. Say you have a kick or a snare which sounds ok as is but you know you can enhance it. You’d simply take the Drum track and duplicate it 2 times (I normally do 2 clones but it’s preference) and the 1st original drum track I may not tamper with and leave as is. The 2nd drum track I may kill the Hi’s and Mid’s completely and leave only the Lows (this will give the drum a more harder sound. And on the 3rd track I’d kill everything but the Mid’s to produce a more stronger sounding drum.
