Editing on a conventional tape recorder in the past required advanced techniques, but with this unit editing tracks is easy and accurate. Moreover, with a tape recorder, an editing error could not be undone, but this unit uses nondestructive editing, allowing you to edit without altering the original data. This means that the undo function can be used to correct an edit easily (see “Undoing the last operation (single undo)” on page 66).
Overview of track editing
This unit has the following track editing functions.
•• CLONE TRACK (duplicate a track)
•• CLEAN OUT (erase a track)
•• SILENCE (erase part of a track)
•• CUT (remove part of a track)
•• OPEN (insert a silent section)
Edit points
Among track editing functions, SILENT, CUT and OPEN use the IN and OUT points for editing. These
are the same IN and OUT points used for repeat playback. See “Setting IN and OUT points” (on page 73) for instructions about how to do this.
•• The IN point marks the beginning of the section that is subject to the track editing function.
•• The OUT point marks the end of the section that is subject to the track editing function.
