About track editing
One of the most useful features of a disk-based recorder such as
the DP-01 is the ability to edit material easily. When working with a
stereo tape recorder in the past, editing was not an easy process,
and was very difficult to undo if there were any mistakes. Multitrack
editing was nearly impossible!
The DP 01 allows you to edit songs, copying and moving material from
one part of a song to another. This editing is known as non-destructive edit-
ing, meaning that the operation does not actually destroy data, and you can
undo mistaken or unwanted editing operations easily.
You can undo the
editing operations
described here (see “Undoing oper-
ations” on page 54). Even if you
delete all the material on every
track using these functions, you can
still get it back with only a few key-
presses.
If you have ever used a word processor on a computer, you will probably
find most of the DP 01’s editing operations pretty simple. If you have never
used a computer, the DP 01’s editing operations are nothing to be scared
of—just read through this section to see how it all works.
IN, OUT and TO
We have previously seen how the IN and OUT points can be used for
punching and for location. They are also used in these track editing opera
tions, together with the TO point.
The IN point marks the start of the part of the track which is selected
when editing a part of a track (rather than a whole track).
The OUT point marks the end of the part of the track which is
selected when editing part of a track.
The TO point marks the final destination of a copy or a move opera-
tion.
Using edit mode
1 Make sure that the DP-01 is stopped (not playing back or recording).
2 Press the TRACK EDIT key (beside the jog wheel).
3 Use the jog wheel to move the cursor to the track editing function
you will be using and press the
key.
4 Select the appropriate values, as described for each individual function.
5 Press YES to perform the operation, or NO to exit without performing
the operation.
