18—Editing Tracks
Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 239
You can move through the project while you’re on the wave display using the current
time location display (Page 126)—which is still visible above the wave display—the
transport buttons, SHUTTLE ring, position bar, Jump feature, locators or markers.
Choosing the Right Editing Screen
Use the screen that best suits the job at hand:
• If you need to see the project’s other tracks, or to see an entire project section at
once, edit in the Home screen’s playlist (Page 122). The Home screen is best suited
to making larger edits: moving audio around in a project, or from track to track and
so on. You’ll find a variety of views and magnifications, as described on Page 123.
• Use the wave display when you need an up-close, detailed view of a track’s audio.
It’s the best choice when precision is critical and when you’re performing edits on
tiny bits of audio. The wave display’s especially handy when you’re using Scrub
(Page 184) to pinpoint audio events.
You can switch back and forth between the Home and wave display screens—and use
different views and magnifications—as you edit.
Editing Methods
The VS-2480 lets you edit a project’s phrase and regions three different ways:
• mouse • TRACK EDIT buttons • TRACK menu
You can use any of these methods exclusively, or use any combination of them. Some
people like a mouse, some like buttons, some like menus and some like them all. You
can perform many of the same phrase or region editing operations regardless of the
method you decide to use, though each method presents your options a bit differently.
The mouse and TRACK EDIT buttons provide fast access to seven of the most common
phrase editing operations and region operations. The TRACK menu offers additional
editing operations as well.
The track that’s currently selected for editing remains selected as you scroll through—
and view—different tracks in the wave display. You can see the name of the currently
selected track in the top left corner of the display, a portion of the Home screen that’s
still visible. The wave display itself tells you which track you’re viewing there.
By combining different vertical and horizontal zoom settings, you can view the selected
track’s audio with almost any degree of detail. You can also hold down SHIFT and press
HOME•DISPLAY to toggle on and off a full-screen view of the wave display.
The wave display has its own position bar located beneath the displayed waveform. You
can drag its handle with your mouse to move through the project. You can also click on
the arrow at its left end to move slowly backward through the project—in steps of about
17-18 subframes—or on the arrow at its right to move slowly forward.
On the Home screen, you can jump from the start to the end of a selected track’s
phrases, one after another, by pressing NEXT when the PREVIOUS/Next Sw (Page 363)
is set to PHRASE. Press PREVIOUS to jump in the opposite direction.
No matter which method you use, switch between phrase and region editing by
pressing PHRASE•REGION•AUTOMIX. When it’s green, you’re editing phrases.
When it’s red, you’re editing regions.
