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.
