5. To select a V-Track, cursor to it and press F4 (MARK) to check its checkbox; to
unselect it, press F4 (MARK) again. You can select and unselect all of the V-Tracks in
the map at once by repeatedly pressing F3 (ALL).
6. If you prefer to work on the Select Track screen, press F1 (SelTrk).
7. To select a V-Track for export on the Select Track screen, turn the TIME/VALUE dial
to highlight the V-Track and press F4 (MARK) to place a checkmark next it.
8. When you’ve selected all of the desired V-Tracks, press F5 (OK). The VS-2480 asks:
9. Press ENTER/YES to proceed, or EXIT/NO to cancel the operation.
10. If you pressed ENTER/YES, the VS-2480 asks if you want to save recent changes to
the currently loaded project before proceeding.
11. Press ENTER/YES to save the project’s recent changes before performing the split,
or EXIT/NO to skip directly to splitting the project.

COMBINE

Project COMBINE—as its name suggests—allows you to append a project from your
hard drive onto the end of the currently loaded project. You can use COMBINE to
collect, one-by-one, individual projects into one large project. You might want to, for
example, do this when assembling the songs for an album if each song has been
recorded as a separate project—see “Multi-Project Compilation CDs” on Page 341.

How COMBINE Works

• The project that’s added to the end of the currently loaded project is placed four
seconds after the end of the current project’s last audio.
• A new marker is automatically placed at the start of the newly appended material.
• The appended project’s track and V-Track assignments are preserved in the new
combined project.
• The appended project is no longer on your hard drive as a separate project since its
data is now part of the new combined project.

Combining Two Projects

To quickly select or unselect one track’s entire set of V-Tracks, cursor all the way to the
left so that the track’s name is highlighted and press F4 (MARK).
Hold down SHIFT as you turn the TIME/VALUE dial to jump between same-numbered
V-Tracks on different tracks.
Only projects that share the same sample rate and recording mode can be combined.
In case you combine projects, you need to select two different projects.
Some aspects of appended project are not carried over into the currently loaded
project, such as markers, locators, Automix data, the tempo map and sync track, and
project-related UTILITY menu settings.
Since COMBINE alters both projects, we recommend you back both of them up before
performing the COMBINE operation.
