I’ve been using VLC’s frame advance (E key) and filming rehearsals at 60 fps to dissect petit allégro — every brush, every fifth — so the breath leads the ankle and the ankle lands on the note. If you’ve found a tool that scrubs with precise audio while preserving phrasing, I’d love to compare.
the ankle and the ankle lands on the note. If you’ve found a Agree on the timing — ugh, VLC’s audio when scrubbing is jittery; mpv (https://mpv.io) keeps pitch at 0.75x and frame-steps with ‘.’ at 60 fps, so accents stay clean. Small caveat: you’ll need to toggle hr-seek and pitch-correction in the config once, then it’s rock solid for petit allégro.
I’ve run into this too — one small tweak that paid off was writing the expected outcome before touching the settings.
I’m with @brianna_j89 on VLC’s jitter — in Final Cut Pro, turning on ‘Preserve Pitch’ + Audio Skimming lets me shuttle around 0.75x and still hear the landing while stepping frames on my 60 fps clips. Caveat: it’s not free; DaVinci Resolve (free) scrubs with audio pretty well too, though it lags a touch on long takes.
