Step 2: Perform the Button- Pushes to Complete the Edit

Entering Editing Time Values

Once you’ve entered a track editing screen, you must then place the time locations you’ve established for the edit points (START, END, etc.) into the appropriate fields in the display. There are several ways to do this. The examples below will explain how to get your time locations for the START, END, etc. into the corresponding fields in an edit screen. We’ll use Track Erase in these examples. See p. 171 for an example using Track Copy.

Using the TIME/VALUE Dial:

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 [F2 (Erase)] for Track Erase. If you don’t see “Erase” above [F2], press [PAGE] so “Erase” appears, and then press [F2 (Erase)].

4.Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to the START field. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to

change the value of hours, minutes, seconds, frames and sub frames. If your song was recorded using a tempo map, you can use the TIME/VALUE dial to choose Measures and Beats as well.

5.Press [ ] to move the cursor to the END field. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the value of hours,

minutes, seconds, frames and sub frames, or use the TIME/VALUE dial to choose Measures and Beats.

*Continue this method for FROM and TO fields in applicable edit functions (e.g., Track Copy). See p. 171 for a practical example.
