Edit Out

The E

DIT

button places the Edit Out Mark above the current Cursor position on the

waveform. When the Edit In and Edit Out marks have been placed at different points, the
waveform between them will appear highlighted.

Cut

The Cut function removes highlighted audio between the Edit In and Edit Out marks, and

transfers it to a clipboard memory for possible use in a subsequent Insert operation. After the
Cut operation, the surrounding audio joins together, creating a continuous file.

Cut can also be used with a Crossfade. This causes the material at the Cut point to be

overlapped by the specified Crossfade Time, and then a smooth transition is created between
the overlapped sections. See the section on Editing for more details.

Copy

The Copy function makes a copy of a marked portion of audio, for subsequent transfer to

another destination. Unlike Cut, it does not remove the audio, and the running time of the file
remains the same.

•

When used in the File Select display, C

OPY

will call a menu that allows you to

copy a file within the directory, or to a different directory or disk.

•

To assign a file to a Hot Key, select the file in the files display, hold

COPY

and

press the desired H

. The display warns you if another file is already

assigned to the Hot Key; press E

NTER

to reassign the key.

•

When used in the Directory Select display, C

OPY

will call a menu that allows

you to copy all files in a directory to another directory.

Insert

The Insert function inserts the current clipboard contents (from a Cut or Copy operation)

at the location of the Edit In mark.

•

Placing the Edit Out mark at the same point results in a simple insertion,
moving all material after the marked point later in time, directly after the end of
the inserted material.

•

Placing Edit Out at a different point permits Insert to overwrite a defined range,
replacing existing material. Unless the operation is Undone, this material is
permanently erased from the file being edited. It will still exist in any copies of
the file. If the file has not been saved since the edit, perform a Save As (A

AVE

) to preserve your edits in a new file and then get the replaced material

from the file you were originally editing.

Insert can also be used in conjunction with Crossfade. See additional information in the

chapter on Editing.

Gain Editing

Gain Editing functions include Adjust Level, Set Gain, Fade In, Fade Out and Relative

Fade. These are accessed by pressing S

OFT

2 while in the Editor. Gain Edits are non-

destructive. The gain is adjusted on playback, so the original audio data is unchanged and the
effect of Gain Edits can be removed at any time. See the section on Editing for more details.
