EDIT SAMPLE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 139
Whilst it is possible to edit by ear with very good precision, it is sometimes desirable to see what
you are doing. It is possible to zoom in on the waveform using the key. Repeatedly
pressing this will enlarge the waveform display until you are looking at individual samples that
are an inch wide! The display centres around the start point. Of course, now you can’t see the
end point so press the key to switch between the start and end points for editing.
NOTE: To cut or not to cut, that is the question!!
Whether you trim your samples and loop them afterwards or loop your samples and trim them
afterwards is a matter for you to decide. Our programmers have found in their experience, that it
is best to record the sample, loop it and then trim it afterwards. Of course, if there is ‘dead
space’ either side of the sample, these should be removed before looping but it is felt that
looping first and trimming later is safest.
