Chapter 10 Track and Phrase Editing

5.Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor. Set the START and END values. You can enter the START and END times in a number of different ways such as using LOCATOR buttons, markers, the TIME/VALUE dial, Transport controls, or by Measure/ Beat.

A quick way to enter edit points (START, END, FROM, and TO) is to create a locator for each edit point (43) before entering the edit screen. Then go to the desired edit screen (such as Erase, Copy, Cut). You can enter your edit points by pressing a LOCATOR button and then holding [SHIFT] and pressing [LOC 1] to enter that point as the START time, [SHIFT] + [LOC 2] to enter that point as the END time,

[SHIFT] + [LOC 3] to enter that point as the FROM time, or SHIFT+ [LOC 4] to enter that point as the TO time.

START (Start Point)

Specifies the start time of the segment to be erased.

END (End Point)

Specifies the end time of the segment to be erased.

All V.Tracks

Normally, audio is erased only from the currently selected V-Track. If you want the same segment of audio to be erased on all V-Tracks, set this to “On.”

6.Press [F4 (Exec)]. This executes the Track Erase.

7.When Track Erase is completed correctly, “Complete” appears in the display.

8.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

If you are unhappy with the edit you made, press [UNDO]. “UNDO Level 1” will be displayed. Press [ENTER/YES] to restore your track(s) to their condition prior to the edit.

Track Cut

This operation cuts audio from the specified area. The area of audio between the Start point and the End point is removed completely, and the remaining section of audio is spliced on. When a section of audio is cut, audio following the section is moved earlier on the timeline to fill in the gap. Compared to a tape recorder, this is like using a razor blade to slice out a region of tape, and then splicing the two remaining ends together.

Start End Time

*Make sure the Track Cut function does not end up leaving a remaining section of audio that is 0.5 seconds or shorter. Any sound left over as a result of Track Cut that is 0.5 seconds or shorter will not be played.

*While it may seem that the audio has disappeared, the data itself has not been deleted from the hard disk. Even when you carry out the Track Cut procedure, the available disk space shown in the display does not change.

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F2 (TRACK)].

2.Make sure “Track Edit Menu” appears in the display. If it does not, press [F1 (Tr/Ph)] once.

3.Press [F6 (Cut)] for Track Cut.

If you don’t see “Cut” above [F6], press [PAGE] until “Cut” appears, and then press [F6 (Cut)].

4.Press the Track STATUS button to specify the track to be cut. The STATUS button turns red, indicating it is the track to be edited. You can press more than one STATUS button if you wish to cut more than one track. If you press a STATUS button and then change your mind, press it again to change it back to green.

*If you want to select TR 1-12, press [FADER/MUTE] several times until the “TR” indicator lights.

If you want to select TR 13-18, press [FADER/MUTE] several times until the “TR” indicator blinks.
