ADAT HD24 Reference Manual
Using the Paste Command
The Paste function is used in conjunction with the
Cut and Copy functions. This function allows you
to use the audio that you’ve cut or copied in another
section of the song, another track, or even another
song.
Pasting audio into a song may require that the song
be lengthened. If so, the HD24 will do that
automatically.
Pasting audio to a new location
Most Paste operations involve cutting or copying a
musical phrase from one section of a song and
moving it to another location in the same song.
1. Cut or copy audio from another section of the
song, using the procedure described in the
previous sections.
If you’re pasting into different tracks than you
copied from, deselect the original source tracks by
pressing and holding the
TRACK EDIT
button, then
press the Track Record Enable buttons of the selected
tracks.
2. Press and hold the
TRACK EDIT
button, then
select the tracks that you want to paste into.
If you are pasting into the same tracks that you
copied from, you can skip this step and leave the
original tracks selected.
