Placing Edit Points on a TRACK Menu Operation Screen

Each edit operation’s main screen allows you to place the
edit points the operation requires. They’re presented as
parameters. When you first begin an edit operation, the
parameters show the time location of any edit point that’s
already been placed. You can set an edit point by:
selecting its parameter and entering the desired location using the cursor buttons
and TIME/VALUE dial (or your mouse).
selecting the edit point’s parameter and moving the timeline to the desired
location. To lock in the new location, unselect the parameter by selecting some
other parameter on the screen.
using the current time location display to move the timeline to the desired location,
selecting the edit point’s parameter and pressing F2 (GetNow).

About Selection in the TRACK Menu

The TRACK menu offers two ways to select tracks, phrases and regions. You can use the:

Quick-Selection feature

—that lets you quickly select the tracks you want to edit.

onscreen selection tools

—that provide more information about your selection, and let
you select destination V-Tracks when you’re copying, moving or exchanging audio.
When you’re moving, copying or exchanging audio, you need to select source and
destination tracks. In other edit operations, you need only select the phrase(s) or
region(s) upon which you want to perform the operation.

Quick-Selecting from the TRACK Menu

An operation may have more than one screen. For details on all of the phrase editing
operations, see Chapter 19. Chapter 20 explains all of the region editing operations.
You can move the timeline to any already set edit point by selecting the edit point’s
parameter box and pressing F3 (GO TO).
You can use Quick Selection for all phrase and region operations except the phrase
Take Manager, and the region IMPORT and ARRANGE edit operations.
