IN, OUT, TO and FROM

The IN, OUT, TO and FROM points are used for editing operations (the IN and OUT points are also used for the previously described auto punch and repeat functions).

See “IN, OUT, TO and FROM points” on page 50 for how to set and trim (adjust) these points.

The IN point is the start of the section to be edited at the beginning of track editing.

The OUT point is the end of the section to be edited at the beginning of track editing.

The TO point is the destination for many editing opera- tions, including copy and paste, copy and insert, move and paste, and move and insert.

In COPY FROM∑TO editing, the FROM point is a point set within the section to be copied. See “COPY FROM∑ TO” on page 60 for details.

NOTE

If the interval between IN and OUT points is less than

0.5seconds, the popup screen does not appear and you cannot use COPY, MOVE or other editing func- tions. Increase the interval between IN and OUT points to more than 0.5 seconds to use these functions.

T I P

Although you cannot use virtual tracks as sources for copy and move operations, you can assign a virtual track temporarily to a physical track for track editing operations and then reassign it when you are finished (see “Virtual tracks” on page 66).

These operations can be undone (see "UNDO and REDO" on page 64). For example, even if you have erased an entire track, you can easily restore it.
