Editing Tracks
The recorder features speedy, nonlinear, nondestructive editing of independent audio tracks because
it uses a 3.5 inch E-IDE hard disk. The following four editing functions allow “
Editing of Independent
Audio Tracks
.”
Copy & Paste
You can copy a specific range of data from a specific
track and paste it to the same or a different track.
Copy & Paste is possible in the presently active program
or also in a different program.
Move & Paste
You can move a specific range of data from a specific
track and paste it to the same or a different track.
Move & Paste
You can erase a specific range of data from a specific
track or all tracks.
Track Exchange
Between tracks 1-56, exchanging is possible in mono
track units or group track units (Stereo pair 2 tracks
or 8 tracks).
<Note>:
Although Copy & Paste can be executed in a different program, all other editing work can only be
done within the currently active program. Consequently, in order to edit the active program, the desired
program should be selected before starting to edit. In general, don’t change a program until you finish
editing except to Copy & Paste to a different program.
If editing is started while in another program, you could accidentally lose data.
Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, and Erase with the exception of track exchange and editing the track name, is
possible only for data recorded on the real track. If data stored in the additional track is to be edited, move
it temporarily to a real track, and then edit it.
Copy & Paste and Move & Paste
Copy & Paste and Move & Paste might seem like the same function. However, they are different, as
shown in the diagram. Remember this difference when you start using these functions.
• Copy & Paste
Using the Copy & Paste function enables you to copy
a specific range of data from a specific track to the
clipboard as shown below (this is called “
Copy Clip
”
operation on the unit), then paste the data at a
specific point in a specific track.
The number of copy source tracks and the number
of destination tracks are the same. That is, if you
copy mono track data, you can paste it to a mono
track. If you copy adjacent odd/even tracks (e.g.,
track 1 and track 2), you can paste it to adjacent
odd/even tracks. After paste is executed, data on
the clipboard will remain intact and as can be
repeatedly pasted, as well as to other programs.
• Move & Paste
Move & Paste is almost the same as Copy & Paste.
As shown in the figure, it allows you to move a
specific range of data from a specific track to the
clipboard (this is called “
Move Clip
” on the unit), and
paste it to a destination track.
The difference from Copy & Paste is that the data on
the source track and the clipboard will be erased
when you paste the data to the destination. That is,
you cannot paste the moved data repeatedly.
Unlike Copy & Paste, this cannot be executed between
programs.
As shown in the drawing, points for copy or move are called the CLIPBOARD IN point for the copy (or move) starting
point, and CLIPBOARD OUT point for the ending point, and the paste starting point is called the AUTO PUNCH IN
point.
