Editing tracks • Basic procedure for track 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.
