13—Operating the Hard Disk Recorder
This chapter discusses the mechanics of using the VS-2480’s hard disk recorder—
basically, it’s all about recording and playing back a project. We’ll describe the
recorder’s set of helpful tools for navigating a project and for playing it back in a variety
of ways.
The Transport Buttons
The Main Transport Buttons
The most basic tools you have for recording and playing a project—and running the
hard disk recorder—are the transport buttons.
Special Transport Buttons
In addition to the main transport buttons, you can jump to the:
•
the beginning, or “top,” of the project’s audio
—by holding down SHIFT
and pressing PREVIEW TO•PROJECT TOP.
•
the end of the project’s recorded audio
—by holding down SHIFT and
pressing PREVIEW TO•PROJECT END.
If you’re not clear on what the hard disk recorder is and what it does, see “The Hard
Disk Recorder” on Page 55. To learn the fundamentals of how it records and plays back
audio—and how its built-in hard disk works—see Chapter 6, starting on Page 85.
You can reverse any recording action using the VS-2480’s Undo and Redo features,
described on Page 72.
