MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Partediting

The following describes how to edit a "part" (*) of selected (mono or stereo) track data. Read the following carefully before carrying out part editing.

<(*) About "part">

A "part" is defined as audio data between the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points. There- fore, to carry out part editing, you have to store the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points. See page 53 for details about how to store these points.

<Playing back the part to be edited>

You can listen to audio of the part before carrying out the edit operation. After stor- ing the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points, fol- low the procedure below for checking.

1.Press the [PLAY] key while holding down the [STOP] key.

The MR-8 starts playback between the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points (see also page 49).

2.During playback, raise the appropriate track fader(s) and the [MASTER] fader.

You can monitor only the part of the editing track(s).

<Changing an edit point during the edit operation>

On the screen for selecting the target track(s) to be edited, you can see the time (or Bar/Beat) information of the current recorder position.

The time (or Bar/beat) value changes in realtime when the recorder moves (i.e. plays, fastforwards, rewinds, locates, etc.). The LOCATE A or LOCATE B point can be changed while this screen is shown. For example, if you move the recorder to the desired position before select- ing a track to be deleted, then press the [STORE] key followed by the [LOCATE A/IN] or [LOCATE B/OUT] key, the new editing point is stored.

When you carry out the locate operation to the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point and the current position matches the locate point, "LocA=" (or "LocB=") is shown on the left of the time (or Bar/Beat) information, as shown below. "LocA=" (or "LocB=") is also shown when you store the new editing point.

You can change the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point whenever you want (even during the edit operation). See the following for details.

<Undo/redo of editing (except the copy to the clipboard>

By pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key after executing the edit operation, you can undo the editing. By pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key after the undo operation, you can return the track(s) to the condition after being edited.

<Notes>

If there is not enough space on the CompactFlash card for executing the undo operation, the display shows "Warning Card Full! Can't Undo!" when you are going to make editing. If you carry out any of the following, you cannot undo the editing anymore.
