ZOOM HD8/HD16

Reference [Track Editing]

This section explains how to edit audio data contained on the audio tracks or the master track. There are two major types of editing

functions: specifying a range within a track for editing, and editing an entire V-take.

The procedure for specifying a range within a track and then

performing an editing action is explained below.

When performing editing for a speciﬁed range of data, some

steps are similar for each action. These are as follows.

1. From the main screen, press the [PROJECT/

UTILITY] key.

The display indication changes as follows.

2. Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the

indication “TRACK EDIT” on the second line

of the display, and press the [ENTER] key.

The track edit menu containing various editing commands

appears on the display.

3. Use the cursor left/right keys to select the

desired command from the following options.

• COPY

Copy a speciﬁed range of audio data.

• MOVE

Move a speciﬁed range of audio data.

• ERASE

Erase a speciﬁed range of audio data.

• TRIM

Retain only a speciﬁed range of audio data and erase the

rest.

•FADE I/O (Fade-in/out)

Perform fade-in/fade-out over a speciﬁed audio data

interval.

• REVERSE

Reverse a speciﬁed range of audio data.

• TIME STRETCH

Change the duration of the entire audio data on a track

without changing the pitch.

• PITCH FIX

Apply pitch compensation to a speciﬁed range of audio

data.

• HARMONY+ (Harmony Generate)

Add 3-part harmony to a speciﬁed range of audio data.

• DUO HARMONY

4. Press the [ENTER] key.

The screen for selecting the track and V-take for editing

appears.

The display shown below is an example for selecting the

COPY command in step 3.

5. Use the cursor up/down keys or the status

keys to select the track, and use the dial to

select the V-take number.

On this screen, V-takes that are not currently selected can also

be selected for editing. When track 8 of the HD8 or track 16 of

the HD16 is selected, pressing the cursor right key selects

tracks in odd-numbered/even-numbered pairs (1/2, 5/6 etc.) or

the master track (“Master” indication appears instead of track

number). (This applies to commands other than PITCH FIX,

HARMONY+, and DUO HARMONY.)

NOTE

•You can also press the status keys for two adjacent odd/even-

numbered mono tracks together to select these tracks.

•Repeatedly pressing the status keys for stereo tracks selects the

odd-numbered track, even-numbered track, and stereo track in

sequence.

• When a single track has been selected as editing source for a

command other than HARMONY+ and DUO HARMONY, the
