6 − DVD±RW/HD playback & recording

TASCAM DV-RA1000HD

You can split a file into two parts at the current play-
back position. This may be useful if you want to divide
a single long live recording into separate tracks, for
example.

NOTE

This operation is not possible with files recorded in
DSD mode.
You cannot divide a file that is transferred from a
CD if the CD has its copy ID set to “prohibit.”

TIP

You may want to set a mark at the split point so that
you can locate it easily.

File division always takes place on the current file.
Each resulting file must be at least 4 seconds in length
to be usable. If neither part resulting from the division
is greater than four seconds in length, the divide opera-
tion cannot be carried out. If one resulting file is under
4 seconds in length, a popup message warns you. If
you carry on with the divide operation, the short part is
deleted (of course, this might be a cough or fret noise
before a take which would be edited out in any case).

Select the

EDIT

sub-menu from the main menu.

From this sub-menu, select

DIVIDE

. Press

ENTER

Figure 6.11: Confirming a file divide operation

The DV-RA1000HD enters pause mode, and the
first three seconds of the file following the divi-
sion point are played back as a loop. Use the

JOG/DATA

dial to trim the division point so that

the new file starts at the point you want.

Press

ENTER

to set the division point and split the

file. The name of the second file is automatically
created by the DV-RA1000HD following division,
and is changed to BWF_FileXX where XX is the
next number following any number already used
by such a file in the current project.

TIP

If the second part of the divided file that you have
already renamed is the part you want to keep (e.g.
you are removing breath noise or drumstick clicks
at the start of a track), you must delete the file cre-
ated from the first part of the divided file, and re-
name the remaining BWF_FileXX file to the original
value.

Dividing files

The last action performed in the edit menu can be
undone (split files can be recombined and joined files
can be resplit, play lists can be undone, etc.).

If an action has been undone, you can redo it.

Note that if any recording is done following an edit
operation, that edit operation can no longer be undone.
Likewise, if any recording is done following an undo
operation, that undo operation can no longer be redone.

tion, or
