Copy
Access the Copy command by first pressing TRACK/EDIT, then pressing
the Copy select button, and then choosing Copy when you are ready to perform the operation. The copy command places the selected audio
onto the clipboard but it does not
remove it from the original tracks; these are unaffected by the copy function. Copying audio is often used to replace bad sections of audio with a good section that came before it. For example, if a singer nailed the take for the first chorus but didn’t have the required energy for the second, you can then easily copy her first chorus and paste it into the second.

Paste
Access the Paste command by first pressing TRACK/EDIT, then pressing the Paste select button, and then choosing Paste when you are ready to perform the operation. The Paste command copies the contents of the
Clipboard onto the selected audio track. This replaces any audio on the track with the audio on the clipboard. In the Paste Menu you only specify the Start point, not the end point. The length of audio on the clipboard determines the end point. This means that you must be sure that the audio on the clipboard is not longer than you think; if it is it may replace something that it shouldn’t. But, if the selection on the clipboard has a section with no information where nothing was recorded into the original track, then the section being pasted over will not be replaced.

The MDR24/96 pastes multiple tracks based on the lowest track arm light that is lit when in the Paste Menu. It remembers the arrangement of tracks on the clipboard and will paste them accordingly. If we copy audio from tracks 12, 15, 16, and 17 and paste them starting on track 12, the MDR24/96 will paste the tracks in the same tracks they were copied from. If we instead paste these with the track 1 record ready light lit, the tracks will be pasted onto tracks 1, 4, 5 and 6. If multiple track arm lights are illuminated when pasting, the tracks will be pasted starting on the lowest one; the rest of the record ready lights are irrelevant. If a single track is pasted with multiple lights illuminated, the same will be true. The track will only be pasted on the lowest track, nothing will happen to the rest of the armed tracks.
