Advanced techniques

You can change the following values:

Src. Trk This sets the source track or tracks from which the section is taken. Choose 1 through 8 to select an individual track. Choose 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 to select a pair of tracks. Choose 1-8to select all tracks.

Dst. Trk This sets the destination track or tracks into which the selected section is inserted. What you can select here depends on what you have selected for the source track. If you have selected a single track, you can select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs here. If you have selected all tracks (1-8), then this is the only option available to you here.

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

OPEN

This function “opens up” a silent gap between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks.

The source and destination are the same, and after the operation, the track is split at the IN point, with the material which followed the IN point now moved to follow the OUT point. The result is therefore longer than the orig inal.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), all of the tracks (1-8) or all tracks (ALL).

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

CUT

This function deletes the material between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks and “closes up” the gap.

The source and destination are the same, and after the operation, the mate rial between the IN and OUT points is deleted. The track is therefore shorter than the original.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), all of the tracks (1-8) or all tracks (ALL).

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

SILENCE

This function is equivalent to recording silence between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks.

Material is deleted, but the length of the result is the same as that of the original (the gap is not closed up, unlike with the CUT function).

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk Select an individual track (1 through 8), a pair of tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), or all the tracks (1-8).

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.
