Inserting “silence” at the beginning of a song
To insert “ silence ” at the beginning of a song, use ei-
ther of the following methods depending on the start
time.
The following operations are assumed to be done when
the time base is set to “
ABS ”.
If you want to perform the operations with another
time base (such as Bar/Beat), press the
[DISP SEL] key
while holding down the [SHIFT] key to change the time
base in advance.
• First, enter the “AUTO PUNCH IN” point, which
is the destination for the paste operation.
3. Press the [AUTO PUNCH IN] key.
Now the [AUTO PUNCH IN] key holds “ 00M 03S 00F 00SF ” as
the auto punch-in point, and the display returns to the
Normal display.
2. While “S” flashes, enter “03” using [JOG] dial and press
the [STORE] key.
“ Hit Any Memory Keys! ” appears on the display.
Flashing
When mixdown starts from “ABS 0”
You can make a silence at the beginning of a program
which is mixed down from “
ABS 0 ” by using the “ move
& paste ” technique.
In the following description, we assumed that the cur-
rent program is a 5-minute length program, in which
the
[CLIPBOARD IN] and [CLIPBOARD OUT] keys hold
“ 00M 00S 00F 00SF ” and “ 05M 00S 00F 00SF ” respec-
tively, and audio immediately starts from ABS 0 (=00M
00S 00F 00SF).
And you are now going to create a 3-second silent
space at the beginning of the program.
1. At the beginning of the program (ABS 0), press the
[HOLD/>] key.
The current time is held and “ S ” on the display flashes,
showing that you can now edit the “ second ” field.
To edit another field than "second", use the
[HOLD/>] key (or [REWIND] / [F FWD] keys) to flash the
appropriate point.
8. Press the [ENTER/YES] key again while “01” flashes.
The move & paste operation is immediately completed
and the program data now moved as shown below.
When the move & paste operation is completed,
“
Completed! ” appears on the display.
7. Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.
The display for selecting the number of repeat times
appears, in which “
01 ” and “ Sure? ” flash.
In this tutorial, leave the number as the initial “ 01 ”.
6. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The “ move ” operation is immediately completed, and
“ Move Paste? ” appears on the display.
5. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] keys of channels 1 and
2.
These [CH STATUS/CH SEL] keys that start flashing in red,
showing that tracks 1 and 2 are selected to be moved.
• Then carry out the move & paste operation.
4. After pressing the [EDIT] key, use the [JOG] dial to
display “Move Clip?”.
“ Select Track! ” appears together with “ Move Clip? ”.

As we mentioned earlier, if you make an audio CD in this
condition, data after the “
CLIPBOARD OUT point ” will not
be recorded.
Therefore, you have to set the “
CLIPBOARD OUT point ” to
the “ REC END point ”.
