19—Phrase Editing Operations
Why You'd Use Phrase DIVIDE
Phrase DIVIDE breaks up a longer phrase into smaller phrases so that you can more
easily work with the elements of a recording on an individual basis. It seeks to achieve
the same result as phrase SPLIT (Page 254), but it does so automatically, and by
working with an entire phrase in a single editing operation.
IN Threshold
The IN Threshold sets the level at which a new phrase begins. As the VS-2400CD
searches for its next phrase, it considers a level higher than the IN Threshold
parameter's value to signify the start of a new phrase. IN Threshold can be set from -84
dB to -6 dB.
In Margin
The VS-2400CD adds the amount of time selected by the IN Margin parameter to the
front of a newly created phrase to ensure that the phrase doesn't start too abruptly in
the middle of a signal on its way up to the IN Threshold level.
OUT Threshold
OUT Threshold sets the level at which a phrase ends. When a phrase's signal falls
below the level set by the OUT Threshold parameter, the VS-2400CD considers the
current phrase to be complete, and starts searching for the next phrase. OUT Threshold
can be set from -84 dB to -6 dB.
OUT Margin
The VS-2400CD adds the amount of time selected by the OUT Margin parameter to the
end of a newly created phrase to ensure that its audio isn't cut off prematurely as its
signal drops down in level below the OUT Threshold.

NAME

Use: TRACK menu
You can name any phrase. The main NAME screen provides a phrase
TRACK menu
selection display in which you can select the desired phrase. If the
F5 (NAME)
phrase you want isn't available in the display, move the now line so that
it touches the phrase and press F1 (NAME). To learn about the
VS-2400CD's naming tools, see "Naming" on Page 71.
Why You'd Use Phrase NAME
When you name a phrase, it becomes easier to identify in the playlist and when you're
selecting phrases during editing.
