10–Editing Tracks
Editing on a conventional tape recorder in the past
required advanced techniques, but with this unit
editing tracks is easy and accurate. Moreover, with a
tape recorder, an editing error could not be undone,
but this unit uses nondestructive editing, allowing
you to edit without altering the original data. This
means that the undo function can be used to correct
an edit easily (see “Undoing the last operation
(single undo)” on page 66).
Overview of track editing
This unit has the following track editing functions.
CLONE TRACK (duplicate a track)
•
CLEAN OUT (erase a track)
•
SILENCE (erase part of a track)
•
CUT (remove part of a track)
•
OPEN (insert a silent section)
•
Edit points
Among track editing functions, SILENT, CUT and
OPEN use the IN and OUT points for editing. These
are the same IN and OUT points used for repeat
playback. See “Setting IN and OUT points” (on
page 73) for instructions about how to do this.
The IN point marks the beginning of the section
•
that is subject to the track editing function.
The OUT point marks the end of the section that is
•
subject to the track editing function.
