Normalize; Divide - Roland VS-2000 Owner's Manual

19—Phrase Editing Operations
Track
Turn the Time/Value dial to select any V-Track in the project as the V-Track on which the
new phrase is to be created.
You can quick-select any currently active V-Track as a destination for the new phrase by
selecting its track—press the track's TRACK/STATUS button so it lights solidly.

NORMALIZE

Use: TRACK menu
Normalization raises the level of a phrase to its optimal volume.
The main NORMALIZE screen provides a phrase selection display in which you can
mark the phrase you want to normalize. If the phrase you want isn't available, move the
now line so that it touches the phrase.
Why You'd Use Phrase NORMALIZE
Phrase NORMALIZE allows you to increase the level of a phrase that was recorded at
too low a volume to give you more signal to work with during bouncing and/or mixing.
While NORMALIZE can help a weak recording level, it's not a perfect substitute for
recording the signal properly in the first place since it raises the volume of background
noise along with the desired audio content in the phrase.

DIVIDE

Use: TRACK menu
Phrase DIVIDE analyzes the level of the signal in the phrase and
automatically divides it into smaller phrases wherever the signal level
falls below a specified volume.
