Slow-forward PLAYBACK

Post by italodisco »

Hi, here goes any DP cred I had but does anyone know how to get slow playback to work? Like where it plays half-speed, like a slowed-down tape. It was number keypad 6 forever then it changed. I could re-assign it in old versions and now I can't figure it out at all - "6" on the keypad is already taken to skip-ahead by measure, and I can't seem to re-assign it for the life of me. Sorry in case I'm not using the DP vernacular for all of the above functions.

Thank you in advance.

I also noticed that this had changed recently. Have a look a the Transport Preferences. There are settings there that might need changing. It looks like the default is for Slow Forward to move one tick at a time, and not to move continuously. So if you don’t change these, the command will just move the playback head a few milliseconds and then sit there.
