8 – Editing Tracks
Editing on a conventional tape recorder in the past required
advanced techniques, but with this unit editing tracks is easy
and accurate. Moreover, with a tape recorder, an editing error
could not be undone, but this unit uses nondestructive editing,
allowing you to edit without altering the original data. This
means that the undo function can be used to correct an edit
easily (see "Undoing the last operation (single undo)" on page
36).
Overview of track editing
This unit has the following track editing functions.
• COPY/PASTE (copy and paste)
• COPY/INSERT (copy and insert)
• MOVE/PASTE (move and paste)
• MOVE/INSERT (move and insert)
• OPEN (insert a silent section)
• CUT (remove part of a track)
• SILENCE (erase part of a track)
• CLONE TRACK (duplicate a track)
• CLEAN OUT (erase a track)
Editing points
Among the track editing functions, COPY/PASTE, COPY/INSERT,
MOVE/PASTE and MOVE/INSERT use the IN and OUT points as
editing points. They also use the current position when the
editing operation is begun as the TO point. SILENCE, CUT, and
OPEN use the IN and OUT points. These IN and OUT points are
the same IN and OUT points used during repeat playback. See
"Using IN, OUT and TO points" on page 41 for instructions
about how to do this.

to track editing.
