Model D2424 Reference Manual (Editing Tracks)

Erase

There are two methods for erasing data. Understand the difference between these methods before you use the Erase function.

•If multiple Programs are set on the disk, first select the desired Program. Do not select another Program, or select another sampling rate until you finish the erase operation.

•Erasing a specified part of the data between ABS 0 and REC END:

You may erase a specified part of the data between ABS 0 and REC END (the end point of the recording) in the currently-selected Program. (The erased part is replaced with silence.) You can erase data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks. To erase data on an additional track, you need to move the data to a real track, then erase it. As shown below, the REC END point (the end point of recording) is not affected.

The erased area is replaced with silence. As a result, the REMAIN time and space will increase. (You will have more recordable space on the disk.)

		AUTO PUNCH IN point	AUTO PUNCH OUT point
Any	real track
			Erase
Any	real track		Silence

• Erasing data from a specified point to REC END:

You may erase all data in the range from a specified point to REC END in the currently-selected Program. You can erase data on a mono real track or multiple real tracks. To erase data on an additional track, you need to move the data to a real track, then erase it.

When you erase all tracks’ data, the REC END point will move backward. However, if you erase data on a mono track or multiple tracks (but not all tracks), the REC END point may not be affected. (Refer to the note below.) After the erase operation, the REMAIN time and space will increase.

		AUTO PUNCH IN point		AUTO PUNCH OUT point
				(REC END)
Any	real track
				Erase
Any	real track			Silence
			REC END
	ABS 0

<Note>

If all real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 1 and 2 will not affect the position of REC END. On the other hand, if all Real tracks contain data as shown below, erasing data on tracks 3 - 6 will move up REC END to the end point of tracks 1 and 2.

			AUTO PUNCH IN point	AUTO PUNCH OUT point				AUTO PUNCH OUT point
	ABS 0			(REC END)	ABS 0		AUTO PUNCH IN point		(REC END)
		Trk 6				Trk 6
		Trk 5				Trk 5
		Trk 4
Real tracks					Real tracks	Trk 4
		Trk 3				Trk 3
		Trk 2				Trk 2
		Trk 1				Trk 1
		Trk 6				Trk 6		Erase
		Trk 5
Real tracks						Trk 5		Erase
		Trk 4			Real tracks	Trk 4		Erase
		Trk 3
						Trk 3		Erase
		Trk 2		Erase		Trk 2
		Trk 1		Erase		Trk 1
	ABS 0			REC END	ABS 0			REC END

Follow the steps below to erase data:

1.	Store the erase start point (AUTO PUNCH IN point)
	point).
	and the erase end point (AUTO PUNCH OUT
2.
	Use the Preview function to check the stored edit
	points and adjust them if necessary.

3. Specify a track to erase and execute the function.

Storing the edit points

1.Refer to the “Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys” section for information on

storing the erase start and end points.

Store the erase start point to the [AUTO PUNCH IN] key, and the end point to the [AUTO PUNCH OUT] key.

•If you wish to erase the data from a specific point, store the REC END or later point as the erase end point. Refer to the <Note> for information on storing the REC END point.

•See “Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys” on page “50”.
