About track editing

CLONE TRACK

This copies a track or pair of tracks to another track or pair of tracks. There are no IN and OUT points when cloning.

There are two values that you can change:

Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) or the MASTER stereo track.

Dst. Trk This sets the destination track or tracks to which the source track is cloned. What you can select here depends on what you have selected for the source track. If you have selected a single track, you can select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs here.

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

Mix down to the mix master track, using the EFFECT SEND and EFFECT RETURN (“Mixdown and mastering” on page 26) to add reverb to your mix.

Clone the stereo mix to a pair of tracks.

Disconnect the drum machine from the STEREO MIX and connect it to the RETURN jacks. Make sure that the drum machine is set up to be synchro- nized to the DP-01 (“Working with MIDI” on page 38).

Mix down again with only the two cloned tracks, using the EFFECT RETURN control to add and adjust the levels of the drum machine. You now have a mix including the drum machine as well as the effect added to the main tracks.

CLEAN OUT

This deletes all the material in a track or tracks. There are no IN and OUT points when performing the clean out function.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), or all the tracks (1-8).

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

as the source, when you press the YES key, a message will appear.

master track, you can add a drum machine (say for instance) to the mix in the following way:
