Model D2424 Reference Manual (Editing Tracks)

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.

Track Exchange

Between tracks 1-56, exchanging is possible in mono track units or group track units (Stereo pair 2 tracks or 8 tracks).

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.

Editing the track name

Any type of track name can be registered and edited for each channel.

<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.
