Chapter 11 Editing Tips & Tools

SPECIAL SHORTCUT:

If you do not wish to use locators to define your edit points or if you want to use locators other than Locators 1 through 4 to define your edit points, you can still use the [SHIFT] functions of Locators 1 through 4 to assign the current time location to an edit position (START, END, etc.)

1.From the normal Playlist Display, simply hold [SHIFT] and press [LOCATOR 1] (START). The current time location will now be the START time of any edit you perform.

2.Continue this procedure for END, FROM and TO by holding [SHIFT] and the respective Locators 2 thru 4. Whatever the current time is, when you hold [SHIFT] and the first four LOCATOR buttons, will be entered into their corresponding edit positions. You do not have to be in an edit screen to do this!

6.Enter the START, END, FROM, and TO values:

Method #1: Using LOCATORS

a.Press [LOCATOR 1]. Hold [SHIFT] and press [LOCATOR 1].

b.Press [LOCATOR 2]. Hold [SHIFT] and press [LOCATOR 2].

c.Press [LOCATOR 3]. Hold [SHIFT] and press [LOCATOR 3].

d.Press [LOCATOR 4]. Hold [SHIFT] and press [LOCATOR 4].

Method #2: Using [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] and [F2 (Now)]

a.Press [LOCATOR 1]. Use [ ], [ ], [ ],

and [ ] to move the cursor to “START.” Press [F2 (Now)].

b.Press [LOCATOR 2]. Use [ ] to move the cursor to “END.” Press [F2 (Now)].

c.Press [LOCATOR 3]. Use [ ] to move the cursor to “FROM.” Press [F2 (Now)].

d.Press [LOCATOR 4]. Use [ ] to move the cursor to “TO.” Press [F2 (Now)].

Method #3: Using a Tempo Map

a.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to the three-digit Measure Number in

“START.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the measure number where you want the loop to start.

b.Use [ ] to move the cursor to the three-digit Measure Number in “END.” Use the TIME/VALUE

dial to select the measure number where you want the loop to end.

c.Use [ ] to move the cursor to the three-digit Measure Number in “FROM.” Use the TIME/

VALUE dial to select the same measure number you did for START.

d.Use [ ] to move the cursor to the Measure Number in “TO.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to

select the same measure number you did for “END.”

7.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “Copy Time.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to

select the number of loops you want.

8.Use [ ] to move the cursor to “+Insert.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select “On.” The VS-1824 will now

automatically insert the amount of blank space necessary for the copy. This ensures that any existing audio on the selected track(s) will not be copied over. Instead, it will be pushed back in time to the point immediately after the copied data.

9.Press [F4 (Exec)]. This executes the Track Copy.

10.When Track Copy is completed correctly, “Complete” appears in the display.

11.Press [LOCATOR 1] to locate to the beginning of your Track Loop. Press [PLAY]. Listen to the loop. If it does not sound as you expected, use the Undo function. You may need to adjust the values of the START and END points. If you change the START or END points, make sure you also change the FROM and TO values accordingly. Then press [F4 (Exec)] to try the loop again.

12.When you are finished with Track Copy, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
