About VS-2480 Track Editing

Many of the VS-2480's editing operations can be performed using a mouse. See "Track
Editing with the Mouse" on Page 12.

Regions and Phrases

on the VS-2480. You can work with:
•
•

Editing Screens

Track editing takes place on the VS-2480's Home screen—press the HOME button to
get there—or on the Wave Display (the WAVE DISP button). You can hold down SHIFT
and press the ", #, $ and % buttons to zoom in and out on either display.
It's a good idea to zoom in on your tracks while editing so that you can better see what
you're doing.

Edit Points

Region editing begins with selecting the portion of the project you want to edit. This
time range is defined when you place two edit special editing markers:
This edit point:
IN
OUT
You can also set up time anchors that let you precisely place data you're moving:
This edit point:
FROM
TO
The FROM and TO points can be especially helpful when you want to precisely position
a particular audio event within a larger chunk of data. You can set FROM to the location
at which the event originally occurs, and then set TO to the exact position at which you
want the event to land when you move the region.
