Converting a Linear Playlist to a Cut
You may store a Playlist as a cut. This can be useful to allow a Playlist to be consolidated onto a Zip Disk
for transfer to another system. Use the
POSITION buttons to designate an ID.
There are limits to the kind of Playlist that may become a cut:
• The Playlist must not include Compound Playlists.
• All cuts in a Playlist to be copied must be of the same Sample Rate and Format.
The new cut will occupy disk space equal to the run time of the Playlist.
When converting a Playlist to a cut, an unoccupied index location must be used.
This operation uses only audio between the HEAD and TAIL points from each cut in the Playlist, resulting
in a single cut made up of the concatenated audio that would have played in the original Playlist. Fade In,
Fade Out and Gain settings are not applied between cuts from the Playlist. The Fade-in and Gain setting of
the first cut of the Playlist is applied to the new conglomerate cut and the Fade-out of the last cut in the
Playlist is applied to the end of the resulting single cut.
Copy Original will also perform a Playlist-to-cut conversion. However it will copy the cuts in their entirety,
ignoring Head and Tail trim edits.
If WAV and DC2 files have the same sample size and sample rate, they may be mixed in a Playlist that is to
be converted into a cut.

Use the navigation controls to choose a destination drive and a directory from 0 TO 9 (remember that you
are creating a new cut, not a new Playlist).

When copying is completed, DigiCart/E returns you to the cut level.
The new cut is automatically given the same name as the source Playlist. The source Playlist is not deleted.
