19—Phrase Editing Operations

Why You’d Use Phrase DIVIDE

Phrase DIVIDE breaks up a longer phrase into smaller phrases so that you can more
easily work with the elements of a recording on an individual basis. It seeks to achieve
the same result as phrase SPLIT (Page 258), but it does so automatically, and by
working with an entire phrase in a single editing operation.

IN Threshold

The IN Threshold sets the level at which a new phrase begins. As the VS-2480 searches
for its next phrase, it considers a level higher than the IN Threshold parameter’s value
to signify the start of a new phrase. IN Threshold can be set from -48 dB to -6 dB.

In Margin

The VS-2480 adds the amount of time selected by the IN Margin parameter to the front
of a newly created phrase to ensure that the phrase doesn’t start too abruptly in the
middle of a signal on its way up to the IN Threshold level.

OUT Threshold

OUT Threshold sets the level at which a phrase ends. When a phrase’s signal falls
below the level set by the OUT Threshold parameter, the VS-2480 considers the current
phrase to be complete, and starts searching for the next phrase. OUT Threshold can be
set from -84 dB to -48 dB.

OUT Margin

The VS-2480 adds the amount of time selected by the OUT Margin parameter to the
end of a newly created phrase to ensure that its audio isn’t cut off prematurely as its
signal drops down in level below the OUT Threshold.

NAME

Use: TRACK menu

You can name any phrase. The main NAME screen provides a phrase
selection display in which you can select the desired phrase. If the
phrase you want isn’t available in the display, move the timeline so that
it touches the phrase and press F1 (NAME). To learn about the
VS-2480’s naming tools, see “Naming” on Page 73.

Why You’d Use Phrase NAME

When you name a phrase, it becomes easier to identify in the playlist and when you’re
selecting phrases during editing.
