This is useful for checking edits but can also be used for
checking the last recording you made. Because the
DD1500 automatically places the IN and OUT times at the
start and end of a new recording, you may use PLAY
IN>OUT to check it immediately after recording.
This will play up to the NOW time. I.e.:
NOW
PLAY TO
This is useful for checking things prior to editing (i.e. to find
a good edit point) but may also be used for checking
things on the NOW time generally.
The default PLAY TO time is 1 second but you may
change this by pressing SHIFT+PLAY TO. You will receive
this screen:
You may set the PLAY TO duration to a maximum time of
9 seconds. As this function is used almost exclusively for
quick auditioning, times in excess of this are considered
unnecessary.
You will also note that you can set the PLAY FROM
duration here as well (see below) and the two duration's
combine to set the PLAY OVER duration (see below). You
may reset the play durations to the default settings of 1
second by pressing F6 - RESET.
This allows you play over the NOW time, playing up to it
and playing over it by a predetermined amount. I.e.:
NOW
PLAY OVER
Pressing SHIFT+PLAY OVER will display the PLAY
DURATIONS screen shown above and the total PLAY
OVER time is set using a combination of the PLAY TO and
PLAY FROM durations. In this way, you may, for example,
play for 1 second before the NOW time and 5 seconds
after the NOW time as you wish. The maximum PLAY
OVER time is 9 seconds either side.
