TRACK SLIP - 5
TRACK SLIP
The Track Slip function is used to adjust the position of a whole track by small increments
(frames or sub-frames) using DATA +/- keys.
Pressing the TRACK SLIP key will show the following screen :
Pressing FRAMES (F4) or SUB-FRAMES (F5) toggles between Frames and Sub-frames. The
Sub-Frame value (1/10th frame, 1/4th frame, 1/2 frame) depends on the setting in SYSTEM/
DISPLAY (10th Frame, Film Perf, Video Fields).
Pressing SOLO (F6) will toggle the SOLO function ON/OFF. When SOLO is activated, only the
track(s) selected for slipping will be heard at the headphone output.
It is possible to select multiple tracks for slipping, but each track will retain its own amount :
The Slip amount of each track is memorised, and displayed when entering the SLIP page. When
the Slip amount of a track is different from zero, the according TRK SLIP LED (under the Meters)
will be steadily lit, even when returning to another mode. This condition can be thought of as a
‘Track slip preview’ - the track’s playback start time will be adjusted by the appropriate amount
but the track’s data is not actually edited.
Pressing ZERO (F2) will slip the selected tracks back to their original position and reset the
display to zero.
Pressing COMMIT (F1) permanently slips the selected tracks and resets the display to zero.
NOTE 1: When a TRACK SLIP amount is non-zero (i.e. while a TRACK SLIP is being pre-
viewed), it is not possible to record or edit on this track. The slip time must be COMMITed to
allow these operations to be used.
NOTE 2: The TRACK SLIP function is not recognised by the DR8/DR16 (or DD1500 prior to
V2.30). When a disk with TRACK SLIP is loaded into these machines, the audio will playback
at its original time. To overcome this, the TRACK SLIP should be COMMITed while the disk
is connected to the DD8.
