Yo, so I work in Ableton with audio a lot and saw them use this technique for scrubbing through audio.. they take a long piece of audio (super long) and set it to a shorter exact amount of time they wish to fill a certain part of the arrangement in, say 1 or 8 bars long, maybe even half a bar long.
They take another piece of audio, and place it after this shorter exact amount of time and call it a "bookend" so that while they scrub, the audio doesn't go shooting out the right side, it essentially keeps the audio in place and doesn't create a poo mess of audio going everywhere..
I don't understand this because i scrub using ALT+Click on the audio start/end braces, and it never creates a poo mess of audio that goes flying out the right side... How are they scrubbing? Are the just clicking without using ALT? I wanted to figure this out because i'm assuming there's an easier more ergonomic way to scrub than the way i'm doing it. Alt+Click is kind of annoying, and the loop braces never snap to anything.
Anybody know what i'm talking about, and what they're doing? Thanks!
