Colonel_32dumbass over here fractured his left wrist a few days ago.

 

One of the very few things I use my left hand for when charting is scrubbing the vocals. The default shortcut for doing that is alt+left-click and hold on the cursor where I hold down the alt key with my left and control the mouse with my right. I’d like to make the default simply a right-click/hold or something similar where I can scrub one-handed with just the mouse. Anyone have any idea how or even if I can do that?

Make sure “Edit cursor handle” and “left drag” are selected from the Context drop-downs, then set “Default action” to “Scrub audio (looped-segment mode).”

I just got a new laptop last week, and scrub mode is not working the same way as it did on my old PC. I copied all of the “Preferences” settings on all tabs exactly as before; I’m wondering if maybe this is the culprit. Hopefully this will also fix my problem.

Thanks, Bearz, that works great!

Fixed me up, too. You the man, Bearz.

I can’t get scrub to work. When I left-click on the top as shown in nyxyxylyth’s video below, nothing happens.

 

 

I have my preferences set like his at 7:55, but my Reaper settings visually appear slightly different. I’m using the 32-bit version of Reaper 4.22. If anybody could help, I’d appreciate it. Timing vocal phrases is becoming tedious

 

Here’s a screenshot of my settings:

 

 

In the comments he says: “Yes, I missed this in the video: — check under Editing – Mouse Behaviour that it’s set to “scrub (looped-segment mode” by default. Reaper defaults to Jog.” But I can’t find that exact heading. I go to Editing Behavior > Mouse Modifiers but I don’t know what to do once there…

This is my setup on ALT

Okay, Prez, I made those changes as well… but still nothing. I don’t understand what I could be doing wrong or not doing right. I’m just supposed to left-click at the top of the screen and drag left or right, correct? I try that and it just moves the view of all the tracks. Any combination of keys I hold down while doing that (ALT, etc.) doesn’t change anyth–

 

OKAY I FIGURED IT OUT.

 

I didn’t realize you had to grab the triangle. Nobody told me that

 

Thanks for your help!

Using the space bar also works if scrubbing does not work for you.

Nope, all good now… definitely wanna find some hot keys, though, because, yeah, having to replay sections and move the cursor a lot is cutting down on efficiency. Nonetheless, I pitched vocals on two songs last night, so prepare to see an updated Inhaler from Chainsaw Octopus and another one I’m not sure if I can reveal or not… ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

 

(but it is an artist from my request thread… just not one of the suggested songs!)
