Scrubbing sound with Shuttle Pro 2

I have fallen into the habit of using this device to do a great deal of my editing and obviously love it. I miss one more function for it to do though, which is having the ability to scrub sound when turning the shuttle wheel, frame by frame. Does anyone know how this is done, or is it just not at all possible?

That is the default behavior when you import the Shuttle settings from the Sony Vegas folder. The wheel is Shuttle in Right 1 = F17, Shuttle in Right 2 = F18, up to Shuttle in Right 7 = F23. The reverse is Shuttle in Left 1 - 7 = Control+F17 to Control+F23.

But just import the settings from:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Sony Vegas 7 -- ShuttlePRO v2.pref

and it should work that way automatically.

Thanks, Johnny, but that isn't quite what I am looking for. Instead of Shuttle, I should have said Jog Left and Jog Right. When I move the jog wheel over a sound track in one frame increments I'd like to hear the sound, frame by frame, to read the sound for lip-sync. In effect, I'd like to emulate in Shuttle Pro the effect you get in Vegas when moving the playhead with RMB.

I thought I had just answered my own question by programing the jog wheel to "Mouse click/Right-Left/Hold Down" but alas, it changes nothing....

If you COULD replicate the SINGLE Frame Scrub-Head option to the INNER WHEEL then that would be something. As you know already, to scrub audio FRAME by FRAME in Vegas you actually have to GRAB the Cursor HEAD while holding down the Ctrl+LeftMouseButton.

Anybody care to replicate this for the CSP? I've tried in the past and failed.

Grazie

Either that or just hold down the Right Mouse Button. It took me awhile to get used to holding down my show-it finger.
