Check out this tip in this free Pro Tools video tutorial. In this free tip, Pro Tools Expert Team member Julian Rodgers demonstrates a useful way to set selections by auditioning the audio using the Scrub Tool.

It’s obvious once you know but a common mistake made by users of other DAWs when getting to know Pro Tools is to look for a dedicated sample editor as found in many other DAWs.

The Scrub Tool can be accessed quickly by momentarily toggling it from another tool, using the Control key on a Mac or the Start key on a PC. By adding Shift you can drag the in and out points of an edit selection while scrubbing the audio, really useful for finding clicks, pops or timbral changes which aren’t apparent from the waveform display.
