I do a lot of cutting to music and while I find the new audio scrubbing features of Vegas useful, I have a suggestion/request regarding another possible scrubbing option...
As I am moving through the timeline with the cursor keys, it would be very helpful if I could hear just a frame of audio as I scroll from frame to frame. In other words, as I jump to the next frame, Vegas would play just that frame of audio at the correct speed and pitch so I can more easily find snare hits and the like.
Obviously, it would need to be a feature that can be toggled on and off and perhaps you could even set a parameter in the preferences so that it might play one frame of audio or two or three from the beginning of the frame the cursor is sitting on. It wouldn't need to loop, just trigger and play once. If I need to hear it again, I can just move the cursor back and forth. Maybe this feature could also be tied into the zoom level, it would work when you're zoomed in tight and off when you're zoomed out beyond a certain level.
I know I can look at the waveform and find a lot of my cues visually, but for some of the types of stuff I have edited recently, there's so much going on in the audio, I can't see what I need, I really need to hear it and the analog-style scrubbing of the current version of Vegas isn't quite doing what I want.
It's late, I hope I've explained myself well enough...
