Paste From Clipboard; Pasting To Out And Sync References - Akai DD1500 User Manual

14 - EDITING
So far we have seen how to copy and remove audio from the GRID. Now let's have a look
at how to put material into the GRID.

PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD

This will paste an edit over any material at the current NOW time. You will note that any
gaps in the material being pasted will be pasted over any material that exists at the paste
point. For example:
Pressing PASTE will give you this screen:
You can see the length of the audio you are about to paste. The default shown is that of
the audio in clipboard 0. The EXECUTE key's LED will be flashing and should you press
EXECUTE now, you will paste in clipboard 0 at the current NOW time (you will note that
there is no need to have to mark an IN or OUT time when pasting - the edit is simply
pasted in on the selected track(s) at the current NOW time). If you select another clipboard
1-9 (using the numeric keypad), the length field will change to reflect the material in the
selected clipboard. Pressing EXECUTE will paste from the selected clipboard.
If you want to audition the clipboard prior to pasting it in to make sure you have selected
the correct one, press PLAY (F3/F4). You will note that there is a small delay in playing
audio from the clipboard.

PASTING TO OUT AND SYNC REFERENCES

It is also possible to paste material in a variety of different ways. The default is to paste
the IN point of the source material at the current NOW time. For example:
However, you may paste in material referenced to the source material's OUT point simply
by pressing the OUT key prior to pasting. This will place the source material's OUT point on
the NOW time pasting over preceding material. For example:
Known as 'back-timing', this is useful where you want a cue to end at a specific point but
its start point is not so important. For example, you may want a piece of music to end at a
certain point (maybe at the end of a scene). Locate to the end of the scene and jog over
