Chapter 10 Track and Phrase Editing
Track Editing
The VS-1824 offers some powerful editing functions for
manipulating the audio you record. Track edit functions such
as Erase, Cut, Move, Copy, Insert, Import, and Time
Compression/Expansion allow you to edit your audio
quickly and easily within the digital domain. Phrase edit
functions such as Delete, Split, Move, Copy, Trim In, and
Trim Out allow you to define and edit entire sections of your
song at once. Best of all, because the VS-1824's Undo function
(p. 62) works during editing in the same way that it does
when recording, you can experiment without fear of losing
your original version. This chapter explains, in detail, the
editing functions available in the VS-1824.
* Make sure that track editing does not end up leaving any
sections of audio that are 0.5 seconds or shorter. Any sound
left over as a result of track editing which is 0.5 seconds or
shorter will not be played.
* Track editing may make it seem that a portion of the audio has
disappeared, however, the data itself has not been deleted from
the hard disk. Thus, even when you carry out a track editing
procedure, the available disk space shown in the display does
not change.
Track Erase
This operation erases audio from the specified area, leaving
empty space in its place. Compared to a tape recorder, this is
like recording silence over an unwanted section of tape.
