14 - EDITING
USING EDIT CUE TO AFFECT MULTIPLE CUES
You can also set the level and fade parameters for groups of cues by marking an IN and
OUT time (or using SELECT CUE). This will select all cues within the IN/OUT region thus:
Pressing EDIT CUE will select only those cues whose' start and end points fall within the
edit region will be selected (highlighted ochre). Those cues whose' start and end do not
fall within the edit region will not be selected. For example, pressing EDIT CUE in the
above example would show this:
When several cues are selected for editing in this way, all cues take as their parameters
those you have set in the EDIT CUE page and all the cues selected will be set to the
same value(s).
However, whilst this can be useful in some cases (for example, setting the fade down and
level parameters of a group of footstep sound effects so that they are all identical), it could
potentially cause problems in other cases because you may accidentally reset parameters
you have previously set on some cues! The RESET PARAMS function won't help in this
case as this will simply reset ALL cues' parameters to their default value of 00. Please be
aware of this. In the event of a mistake, you can always use UNDO, of course.
EDIT CUE is really designed to set level and fade for single or stereo cues and for re-
naming cues. The multiple cue editing is included as a convenience for those times when
you wish to set parameters to a group of the same or similar cues.
As mentioned, typical operation would be to line up the mono or stereo cue(s) you want to
edit on to the NOW time, select the track(s) as appropriate, press SELECT CUE and then
EDIT CUE and set the level, fade up and fade down parameters as necessary. Then
press GOTO +/- to select the next or previous cue, hit SELECT CUE again and repeat the
process if necessary.
