Edit Clipboard - Akai DD1500 User Manual

To the right of the track display, you may choose to see the names of the cue(s) currently
being played. This is used instead of the normal convention on other hard disk recorders
where the name is shown within the cue itself because with short cues, the name often
gets abbreviated into something meaningless. On the DD1500, you see the entire name
regardless of its length.
For example:
Whilst the long music cue can display the full name, the footsteps SFX on the adjacent
tracks (called FOOTSTP 1L and FOOTSTP 1R) are abbreviated to FO. Compare this with
the DD1500:
On the DD1500, regardless of the length of the cue, the entire name is shown clearly.
At the top tight of the monitor, you can see the EDIT CLIPBOARD. This shows the ten
edits available for pasting and/or inserting into a project at any time:
The EDIT CLIPBOARD will be explained in the section "EDITING".
Finally, the panel top left reminds you of the piece of equipment you're working on just in
case you're not sure ;-)
You will note that this screen display is the only display you have to deal with when using
the DD1500 and ALL work is done here including recording, editing, slipping, syncing, etc..
There are no separate record modes or separate edit modes to have to enter. Similarly,
there are no multiple windows stacked on top of each other to confuse you and everything
is done here in the GRID ensuring that all operation is consistent throughout.
