Jog / Shuttle Behaviour
You can also adjust how the Shuttle Xpress behaves when navigating:
-
Jog sensitivity (frame-by-frame control)
-
Shuttle speed (how fast you move through the record train)
This determines:
-
How quickly you move left/right
-
How aggressive or precise your navigation is
In practice:
-
Lower values = more precise control
-
Higher values = faster navigation
