These operations can be undone (see "UNDO and
REDO" on page 64)
. For example, even if you have
erased an entire track, you can easily restore it.

Although you cannot use virtual tracks as sources for copy
and move operations, you can assign a virtual track tem-
porarily to a physical track for track editing operations and
then reassign it when you are finished (see

“Virtual tracks”

on page 66).

to set and trim (adjust) these points.

The IN point is the start of the section to be edited at the
beginning of track editing.

The OUT point is the end of the section to be edited at the
beginning of track editing.

The TO point is the destination for many editing opera-
tions, including copy and paste, copy and insert, move and

TO” on page 60 for details.

NOTE

If the interval between IN and OUT points is less than
0.5 seconds, the popup screen does not appear and
you cannot use COPY, MOVE or other editing func-
tions. Increase the interval between IN and OUT points
to more than 0.5 seconds to use these functions.
