Chapter 11 Taking advantage of the VS-880 (ideas and examples)

7.Since we are recording on track 1, turn the pan knob of channel 1 fully toward the L position.

8.As in steps 2–8, make the same settings for channels 2 and 3.

9.Set the track status of track 1 to REC.

When you begin recording, the sources being input to INPUT 1Ð3 will be recorded together onto track 1.

Collecting just the sections that you like

After listening to the recordings on each V-track, suppose that you wanted to use the intro from V-track 1 and the break from V-track 2, etc. In such cases, copy the desired sections to a different V-track to assemble the sections into a single V-track.

The following procedure shows an example in which sec- tions recorded on V-tracks 1, 2, and 3 of track 1 are assem- bled by copying them onto V-track 4.

V-track 1		A
V-track 2				B
V-track 3						C
V-track 4		A'		B'		C'
	LOC 1		LOC 2 LOC 3		LOC 4		LOC 5 Time

1.Switch V-tracks, and register Locate points for the times at which you wish to copy data from them (p.14). For this example, use LOC 1–5.

2.Prepare V-track 1 of track 1 for playback.

3.Press [TRACK], use PARAMETER [ ][ ] to get the “TRK Track Copy?” display, and press [YES]. The display will allow you to select the copy source track, and copy destination track and V-track.

4.Specify the copy source and copy destination track.

Press [SEL (EDIT)] of track 1, and V-track 1 of track 1 will be selected as the copy source. Next, press CUR- SOR [ ] to make the copy destination field blink, press [SEL (EDIT)] of track 1, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to select V-track 4 as the copy desti- nation.

5.As you repeatedly press PARAMETER [ ], the copy setting items will be displayed consecutively. For these items, use [LOC 1/5]–[LOC 4/8] to make settings.

St (Start point): Specify the starting time of the copy source data. For V-track 1 specify ÒLOC 1.Ó

Frm (From point): Specify the time of the copy source data which will be copied to the To Point. For V-track 1, speci- fy ÒLOC 1Ó just as you did for the Start Point.

End (End point): Specify the ending time of the copy source data. For V-track 1, specify ÒLOC 2.Ó

To (To point): Specify the base time of the copy destination. For V-track 1, specify ÒLOC 1Ó just as you did for the Start Point.

Copy Time: Specify the number of copies (1Ð99). In this example, specify Ò1.Ó

6.As you repeatedly press PARAMETER [ ], a confir- mation message will appear at the end. Press [YES] to execute the copy.

When the copy has been completed, you will return to Play condition.

7.Using the same procedure as steps 2–6, copy the desired areas of V-tracks 2 and 3 to V-track 4. When you have finished copying, select V-track 4 and check the playback of the assembled data.
