14 - EDITING
It is also possible to 'slide' splices between butted cues around. For example, imagine the
two recordings of numbers being spoken shown above are spliced together, you can trim
the splice point as follows:
You can extend the previous cue's end 'over' the second cue's start, thereby revealing
more of the first cue and hiding more of the second or you can extend the second cue's
start, dragging it over the first cue's end.
When cues overlap, you may also 'slide' the overlap backwards and forwards, maintaining
the overlap but just changing its position.
However, there is more to TRIM than that as you may physically move cues around as
you trim.

Here, you can see that as you extend the first cue's end you actually move the second
cue in time. Likewise, as you move the second cue's start, the first cue slips in time.
All of this is done in the TRIM pages.
Pressing TRIM will give this display:
This screen forms the basis of all the TRIM pages. The box labelled PRE refers to the first
cue you may be trimming and the box labelled POST refers to the second cue you are
trimming. In TRIM, we always trim the PRE OUT (the first cue's end point) or the POST IN
(the second cue's start). You may also trim a SPLICE between two cues as we shall see
later on.
You should first locate to the point you wish to trim. This is probably most easily achieved
using GOTO and the DATA ENTRY +/- keys to step through each cue in turn until you
arrive at the one you wish to trim. Of course, the track the cue you want to trim is on
should also be selected for edit.
To trim PRE, the end of the cue you wish to edit should be on the NOW time. To select
POST, the start of the cue you wish to trim must be on the NOW time and to select
SPLICE, you must place the splice of two butted cues on the NOW time.
