13—Operating the Hard Disk Recorder
This chapter discusses the mechanics of using the VS-2400CD's hard disk recorder—
basically, it's all about recording and playing back a project. We'll describe the
recorder's tools for navigating a project and for playing it back in a variety of ways.
If you're not clear on what the hard disk recorder is and what it does, see "The Hard
Disk Recorder" on Page 55. To learn the fundamentals of how it records and plays back
audio—and how its built-in hard disk works—see Chapter 6, starting on Page 83.
You can reverse any recording action using the VS-2400CD's Undo and Redo features,
described on Page 70.
