Version 2.0 Release Notes
7 – Managing songs and MP3s
Song edit
The capabilities within the song editing functions
have been expanded, allowing for faster and more
flexible editing.
Stereo pair and all tracks
Within the song editing functions, in addition to the
individual four tracks (
Trk1
through
Trk4
), you
can now select pairs of tracks (
Trk1+2
or
3+4
)
or all tracks (
TrkAll
). This provides you with
more flexibility when editing songs.
Copy/paste
Copying and pasting is now possible between tracks.
For example, if you have recorded two vocal parts,
and you want to use the chorus line of one, but the
verse of another, you can mark the start and end
points of the source, and copy to the destination
track, overwriting the original.

paste operations. This is shown as
