20—Region Editing Operations

Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 267

AllVTr

Turn AllVTr on if you want to remove the chunk of time from all of the V-Tracks
belonging to a selected track.

ERASE

Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu

Erase removes a specified region from a selected track, leaving all of its
other audio where it is.

Why You’d Use Region ERASE

Region ERASE is a really good way to get rid of unwanted audio—wrong notes, noises,
throat-clearing, unwanted chatter and so on—on a track without affecting the rest of its
audio.

Edit Points

•

IN

—sets the beginning of the audio segment you’re erasing.
•

OUT

—sets the end of the audio segment you’re erasing.

AllVTr

Turn AllVTr on if you want to remove the audio from all of the V-Tracks belonging to a
selected track. You’ll want to do this if each V-Track contains a different performance
attempt, and they all contain the same mistake.

COMP/EXP.

Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu

The region COMP/EXP. (“Compression/Expansion”) operation allows
you to time-stretch or time-shrink a region, with or without changing
the region’s pitch.
Thanks to the VS-2480’s non-destructive editing, anything you erase is still on your
hard drive if you want it back, until you optimize the project. Use Undo to retrieve it, or
create a new phrase from its original take (see Page 259).
Make sure there’s no audio within 0.5 seconds before the IN point and 0.5 seconds after
the OUT point to ensure a smooth transition.
Time compression and expansion cannot be used on tracks recorded using the CDR
recording mode.
Since the COMP/EXP. operation makes a new copy of any region it’s processing, it can
be performed only when there’s sufficient free space on your hard drive.
