Peak provides a variation of the dynamic scrubbing feature, very much like the technique often used in recording studios. This affords a greater degree of control when you are “zoomed out” in the audio document window. To use this feature:
1. Hold down the Control key and Option key and then drag you mouse across a portion of the waveform. As you drag the mouse (either forward or backwards) Peak engages playback while it loops a short portion of the audio at the insertion point. Dragging the cursor farther away from the current insertion point increases the overall velocity of the scrubbing.
2. Release the mouse button to stop scrubbing. The insertion point will be exactly where you stopped scrubbing.
3. To make a selection starting at the current scrub point, stop scrubbing, hold down the Shift key, and click the mouse to extend the selection from the insertion point to the desired end location.
4. Since this mode is engaged by pressing the Option key along with the Control key, it’s possible to toggle back and forth between jog and shuttle modes simply by pressing or releasing the Option key.
