Demo summary
Mike demonstrates how to use JKL keys for playback and how to modify the shuttle speed increments in the 'Playback and Recording' settings to avoid the 'chipmunk' sound during fast editing.
Step-by-step
- Use the L key to play audio forward and the J key to reverse.
- Press the L key multiple times to increase playback speed.
