OTARI RADAR II, Operation Manual, Page: 162 / 261

7.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes audio editing using RADAR II. Most editing features make
use of the Mark In and Mark Out keys; these were described earlier in this manual.
The beauty of recording audio in the digital domain is not only the high dynamic
range and low noise floor, but the ability to rearrange the running order of an audio
track; be it music, sound effects or spoken words. This can be compared to the
process of editing text using a computer-based word processor: RADAR II is a
word processor for sound, not words!
7.1.1 RADAR II Editing Functions
Below is a list of the RADAR II editing functions and paragraph references:
Undo/Redo (§7.3) Enables repeated UNDO/REDO on any RADAR II edit operation.
Crossfade Time (§7.1.3) Enables setting/changing duration of RADAR II’s digital crossfades.
LISTEN (§7.2.3) Enables you to LISTEN to (audition) RADAR II’s Clipboard.
CUT (§7.4) CUTs between the Mark points– rejoins the cut ends, places the cut
material on the Clipboard
COPY (§7.5) COPIES between the Mark points– places the material onto the
Clipboard. Original material unchanged.
PASTE (§7.6) Places full Clipboard material starting at Edit mark; overwrites or pushes
other material on the edited track(s) downstream (operator choice).
If an Edit In is used, places material starting there.
If an Edit Out is used, backtimes Clipboard material to
end at the Edit
Out point.
ERASE (§7.7) ERASEs between Mark points.
MOVE (§7.8) MOVES a segment of audio to another location, leaving a blank spot in
its place. This function combines the ERASE and PASTE features, but
doesn’t put the MOVEd segment onto the Clipboard.
SLIDE (§7.9) SLIDE moves the marked segment forward or back in millisecond (or
frame) increments.
INSERT (§7.10) INSERT inserts a blank space into the selected track(s) that is the same
length as the material on the clipboard.
LOOP (§7.11) LOOPs clipboard material end-to-end (with crossfades) for specified
number of repeats. LOOP operates in either forward or reverse
(backtime) directions.
MODIFY EDIT (§7.12) Enables you to modify the parameters of the previous edit operation,
without having to UNDO it, make changes, then make the edit again.
REVERSE (§7.13) REVERSEs the Clipboard material - which may then be pasted into the
Project as desired.
