CHAPTER IV
EDITING
Editing is the process of identifying a passage of audio and then performing an operation
such as Cut, Copy, Insert or Erase. In the Shortcut Editor, the present location in the audio
waveform is shown by the vertical C
URSOR bar. The C URSOR moves across the waveform in
the play mode, showing the audio being heard. The C URSOR may also be positioned with the
S CRUB W HEEL during editing operations.
Marks called Edit In and Edit Out are placed on the audio waveform to identify a passage
for an editing operation. These Edit Marks appear as triangular segments at the top of the
waveform. The A
RM buttons determine which track(s) edit operations will affect. Note that
the Edit In and Edit Out marks are different from Locate Marks.
EDIT OPERATIONS
The Edit screen displays the File title, the time at the present C URSOR position, Edit
Marks that may have been placed, and the audio waveform starting at the head of the File.
The user may select a File for editing as follows:
1. Go to the D IRECTORY menu, highlight a directory selection, and press E NTER or
F ILES .
2. In the F ILES display, highlight a File name.
3. Press E NTER or E DIT I N to load the File for editing.
The audio being played, together with the waveform display, provide the cues needed to
find edit points. A variety of editing tools move the Cursor through the audio program and
assist in actually performing the edits. When editing, the display has the following features:
