SINGLE-MACHINE EDITING
Three other edit related features are available as SHIFT functions on the IN, SYNC and OUT keys.
IN->NOW (SHIFT+IN)
The IN key’s shift function, IN->NOW, allows you to slip audio by moving the marked edit region/
cue(s) time to the current NOW time.
For example, to move a piece of audio to a new position, mark an edit region as appropriate, play,
jog, locate or whatever to the point you want it and press IN->NOW. The edit region’s IN point will
be repositioned at the current NOW time. I.e.:
IN/NOW
IN NOW
IN NOW
In this way, you may move a piece of audio into sync. Let’s take a practical example. Imagine you
are working with the system connected to a VTR using RS422. You have pasted or inserted a few
dog bark sound effects but one of them is slightly early and out of sync with the picture. Firstly,
mark an IN at the start of the out-of-sync dog bark and then mark an OUT at the end of it (or line up
the dog bark on the NOW time and press SELECT Q). For example:
Now, jog the video forward from the RE32’s jog wheel (ignore the audio for the moment) until you
see where the dog’s mouth is just beginning to open. Jog back and forth until you get an exact
sync point and press IN->NOW (SHIFT+IN) followed by EXECUTE. The offending dog bark will be
moved forward and re-positioned at the exact point where the mouth opens. I.e.:
Of course, it may be that you need to slip the entire track in this way. To achieve this, press IN and
then, whilst holding the IN key, press OUT - this will select the whole of the track from the IN time
onwards and will slip it backwards or forwards accordingly.
If you wish to slip only a cue, use SELECT Q. This will mark the IN and OUT at the start and end
of the selected cue and IN->NOW will slip the cue accordingly.
Pressing IN->NOW gives this screen:
You can see how much you have moved the IN time in the SLIP DISTANCE field. If you move
forwards (i.e. jog clockwise, fast forward, play), a ‘+’ appears before the SLIP DISTANCE field; if
you move backwards (i.e. jog counter clockwise, rewind or play reverse), a ‘-’ sign appears. As you
jog or play or rewind with this page open, you will see this time field changing. Press EXECUTE to
complete the action.
