Audio Scrubbing

[Norm_Li]

Is there a hidden Audio Scrubbing feature in Vegas 6 or 7 that I am not aware of that is similar to hearing frame by frame audio from Premiere or FCP?

Starting with Vegas 6, dragging the playhead at the top of the timeline will scrub audio. Using the left or right mouse button as you drag the playhead will give you different types of audio playback.

IMHO, it's not as good/simple as other NLEs (FCP, Premier), but at least we get something
