8 - Track Editing
In the past, editing recordings made on tape recorders required
advanced techniques, but with this unit editing is easy and
accurate.
Moreover, unlike with a tape recorder when an editing error
could not be undone, this unit uses non-destructive editing,
which means you can edit without altering the original data
so the undo function can be used to correct an edit easily. (See
“Undoing an operation” on page 39.)
Overview of track editing
This unit has the following track editing functions.
• COPY/PASTE
• COPY/INSERT
• MOVE/PASTE
• MOVE/INSERT
• OPEN (insert silence)
• CUT (remove part)
• SILENCE (erase part)
• CLONE TRACK (duplicate track)
• CLEAN OUT (delete track)
Editing points
The IN, OUT and TO points are used as editing points for the
COPY/PASTE, COPY/ INSERT, MOVE/PASTE and MOVE/INSERT
functions.
The IN and OUT points are used as editing points for the OPEN,
CUT, and SILENCE functions.
These are the same IN and OUT points used for repeat playback.
