Fast forward & rewing buttons

Hi, Steve - I think you're saying that you'd like to fast forward or rewind and land on a particular spot in your project, logically landing at the beginning of a measure--is that correct?

If so, what you should do is have Markers set at logical places in your project.  If it's a song, Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus 1 etc, for instance.  Then you just use the Markers control to instantly jump to the exact start of those places in your project.

Hi Randy
No, what I would like to see is (as I said) the rewind and forward button move
to whatever the snap value was set at...

--Yes, I know you said that, but frankly I can't make any sense out of it.  Rewind and forward are just that - you want them to zoom to earlier or later in the project - how would they do that in snap values--?  That's why I thought perhaps it would be useful to show you how to zoom even faster to very specific points in a project which are snapped to the grid.  That's the only sense I could make out of your "rewind to snap value" question.

I'd never used the rewind/fast forward buttons until today.
I seems pretty useless to me, you can either press and hold and it moves quite slowly, or you can one click and it moves in very small increments.

I had a bass line part that was in triplets, a couple of them sounded like they were slightly out so I wanted the rewind to go back in triplets.
Clicking the mouse along the time line is just as good and probably quicker but it's very inconsistent. When you have the snap to grid set to 8ths it shouldn't land outside of an 8th but it frequently does, my eyesight's not what it was either so I miss a lot.
In that instance I felt it might have been useful to have the rewind button tied in with whatever the snap settings were set to.
