Cut - Roland VS-2480 Owner's Manual

20—Region Editing Operations
Why You'd Use Region INSERT
You'd use region INSERT if you wanted to shift audio to a later time in the project,
leaving empty sonic space before it.
You can use INSERT to add a pause between sections of a musical piece by inserting
the same amount of blank time into all of the project's tracks.

Make sure there's no audio within 0.5 seconds before the IN point and 0.5 seconds after
the OUT point to ensure a smooth transition.
AllVTr
Turn AllVTr on if you want to insert the blank space into all of the V-Tracks belonging to
a selected track—this will keep all of the V-Tracks aligned if you're separating entire
sections of a project by inserting blank space.

CUT

Use: Mouse, TRACK EDIT buttons, TRACK menu
Region CUT removes a specified chunk out of the selected track,
moving everything that comes after the chunk forward in time so that
there's no gap where the audio's been removed.
Why You'd Use Region CUT
You can use region CUT when you want to get rid of a portion of a performance,
replacing it with what comes after. For example, if you've recorded a soloist playing
over a fadeout, and the first eight bars of the fadeout aren't as good as the rest—you
can cut the unwanted eight bars and move the best part of the performance forward.
Chop out an entire unwanted section of a project by using CUT on all of its tracks.
Thanks to the VS-2480's non-destructive editing, audio you cut is still safe and sound on
your hard drive if you want it back, until you optimize the project. You can use Undo to
retrieve it, or create a new phrase from its original take (see Page 259).
