Track operations and editing

Here are some ways in which you can use these editing

commands.

1Erase unwanted regions

You can use the ERASE command to erase just a speciﬁc

region of a speciﬁc track. For example, this provides a

convenient way to erase a few wrong notes from a perfor-

mance, or to eliminate noise that occurred while an instru-

ment was not playing.

BChange the structure of the tracks

You can use the EXCHANGE command to exchange an

entire track with another track. By using this command

you can bring tracks of widely separated track numbers

closer to each other for easier operation during mixdown.

You can use the COPY or MOVE commands to copy/

move the speciﬁed region of a track to a different track.

This is convenient when you have recorded a solo part

among two or more virtual tracks, and want to assemble

the best parts into a single track.

CChange the structure of the song

You can use the DELETE or COPY commands to delete/

copy entire tracks, changing the structure of the song

itself. Even after all parts of the song have been recorded,

you can use this method to adjust the length of the song,

for example by shortening the number of measures or

increasing the number of choruses.

DCreate special effects

You can also use editing commands to create special

effects. For example, you can copy a guitar or vocal solo

part to another track and use the PITCH CHANGE com-

mand to slightly detune one of these tracks, creating a

chorus effect without using the internal effect processor.

By applying the PITCH CHANGE command to a drum

track to lower the pitch, you can create a unique lo-ﬁ

effect.

Here is the basic procedure for using a track editing command. The procedure is essentially the

same for all track editing commands.

pressing the Work Navigate section [EDIT]
