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 50).
Overview of track editing
This unit has the following track editing
functions.
COPY/PASTE (copy and paste)
•
COPY/INSERT (copy and insert)
•

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 "Setting IN
and OUT points" (on page 55) for instructions
about how to do this.
