3.4.3 Move or Duplicate an Element – Insert Editing
For moving or duplicating an element of the current sequence:
• define a source element to be moved or duplicated, by setting the edit
registers SOURCE IN and OUT,
• set the target location (i.e., where the source element should be in-
serted) by setting the edit register TARGET IN,
• and perform an INSERT command.
With larger productions, it is helpful to mark the points to be edited in
advance. For this purpose, set index markers either during the recording or
when pre-listening the material.
1. Activate the source editing mode with [SOURCE] .
2. Find the element to be removed, copy the start point of the element to the
source IN register, and the end point to the source OUT register. There are
different ways:
• Listen to the sequence and mark begin and end of the element with
[IN] [CAPT] [OUT] [CAPT] , or
• locate to the points if there are already markers, and change to CUE for
precise positioning. Transfer the current address to the register with
[IN] [CAPT] or [OUT] [CAPT] , or
• search the point with SHUTTLE (adjust the maximum wind speed in
the setup menu 41, if necessary), slow down, and change to CUE for
precise positioning. Transfer the current address to the register with
[IN] [CAPT] or [OUT] [CAPT] .
3. Activate the target editing mode with [TARGET] .
4. Find the location to insert the source element defined above. Use one of
the methods described in item 2, and copy the position to the TARGET IN
point with
[IN] [CAPT] .
5. Check the settings with the REHEARSE feature. De-select the edit regis-
ters and choose one of the following rehearse commands:
[PREVIEW] [IN] – listen to the section before the insert point,
[PREVIEW] [OUT] – listen to the section after the insert point,
[PREVIEW] [INSERT] – rehearse the insert command.
For adjusting the source element, simply switch to source editing mode
with
[SOURCE] and use the corresponding preview commands ( [IN]
[OUT] [SOURCE] ).
6. Modify the edit points if necessary and check again (item 3).
You can either locate to the edit point and adjust it:
[LOC] [IN] [CUE]...[IN] [CAPT] ,
or
trim the edit register directly with the cursor keys:
[IN] [
i i i i
] [
z z z z
] .
Use the [SOURCE] and [TARGET] keys for accessing either the source
registers IN and OUT, or the target register IN.
7. If the settings are correct, the final insert command is [INSERT] .
Repeat from step 3 if you like to insert the source element to different lo-
cations.
Moving an element is achieved by copying it to the destination first and
then cutting out the original source element. Simply press
[CUT] after the
last [INSERT] command.
If the result of the command is not what you expected it to be, or if a
wrong edit command was executed by accident, the
last command can be
made undone with [UNDO] (single level undo).
