PLAYING A TAKE IN THE EDIT PAGE
As in all other DD pages, it is possible to play a take directly by holding down the
ENT/PLAY key. In the EDIT page, however, when the take is actually playing, a flashing
vertical cursor moves across the screen. When you take your finger off the ENT/PLAY
key, playback stops and the play cursor stays at the point where it is stopped. You can
use this position to place the start or end mark at a suitable position. There are other
differences as discussed above but to recap:
1: If the cursor is on the
playback from the point shown on the left of the screen regardless of the setting of the
start field. Use this as a means of playing back from anywhere in the take without
upsetting edit points.
2: If the cursor is on the end field, pressing the ENT/PLAY key will cause the take to
playback from the point shown at the left of the screen up to the end point. You can use
this facility to audition the end of an edit and use the ZOOM IN/OUT as a variable pre-roll
function.
USING
THE
EDITING
The editing functions have been kept deliberately simple to use. Basically, you can trim a
recordings start and end points and, to assist in this, a graphic representation of the
waveform is shown.
Once you have successfully made a recording, the chances are you will want to edit it so
go to the EDIT page. Move the cursor to the START field and adjust the start time so that
cursor is right at the start of the take. You may use the editing of the start point as well to
edit out count-ins to a song or breaths from a backing vocal 'spin in' or whatever. Of
course, you can zoom in for greater accuracy.
You may audition your edit at any time simply by pressing the ENT/PLAY key.
Once you have successfully edited the start mark, move the cursor to the END field either
by using the cursor keys or by pressing the
point, again, zooming in for greater editing accuracy. Again, use the ENT/PLAY key to
hear the result of your edit. Of course, in the case of a very long take, it is very
