Use {Move} & Sync Point - Align Music With Narration
If you have already used the MOVE command without designating a 'FROM' location, you noticed that
the beginning of the section to be moved was moved to the location you designate as 'TO'. This is very
good if you are moving verses of a song and the beginning of a verse or section is also the beginning of the
section to be moved. It is easy to instruct the VS-880 to {MOVE} the beginning of a verse # 2 to the end of
verse # 4.
However, what do you do if you need to move a section of audio, but the point of synchronization is not at
the beginning. For example, you have a voice narration recorded on Tr. 1-1 and an instrumental music
recording on Tr. 2-1 and Tr. 3-1. You then decide that you want the solo piano section of the music to begin
at a particularly expressive point in the voice narration. The solo piano section begins somewhere in the
middle of the musical recording. The task is to move the entire musical recording in time so that the solo
piano section begins at the exact same moment as the important expressive point in the narration. You are
not interested when the music begins or ends, only that the particular section of the music begin at the
correct time. The VS-880 accomplishes this with great ease by adding the additional parameter 'FROM' to
the {MOVE} command.
Set the 'START' parameter at the beginning of the music and the 'END' parameter at the end of the music.
You will then mark the beginning of the solo piano as the 'FROM' parameter and set the expressive
narration point as the 'TO' parameter. When you execute the full {MOVE} command, the entire musical
recording will be moved to the new location, however, the solo piano will begin at the correct point in the
narration.
