Understanding Phrase Files and Using V-Edit

Removing Unused Space from Phrases

You can use V-Edit to remove any unused space from within a phrase file.
To remove unused space from within a phrase file:
1. Open the phrase file from which you want to remove leading and trailing silence, if it is
not already open.
2. From the Main menu, press <C>.
3. When prompted to enter the maximum number of phrases, either press <ENTER> to
accept the default, which is the maximum amount of phrases currently set, or enter a
new maximum number of phrases, then press <ENTER> to begin compression.
If the maximum number of phrases you enter is less than the number of existing
phrases in the file, all phrases above the entered maximum are deleted.

Removing Silence from Phrases

You can use V-Edit to remove silence from the start and end of phrases in a file. When
you remove leading and trailing silence, a default of 100 milliseconds of silence is left at
the start and end of each phrase in the file. You can adjust the amount of silence to leave
as much or as little as you want.
To adjust the amount of silence to leave at the start and end of each phrase in the
open file:
1. Open the phrase file from which you want to remove leading and trailing silence, if it is
not already open.
2. From the Main menu, press <S>. The Setup menu displays.
3. To adjust the auto edit parameters, press <2>.
4. When prompted to enter the number of milliseconds to leave on the front of phrases,
either press <ENTER> to accept the default (100 milliseconds) or enter a new
number, then press <ENTER>.
5. When prompted to enter the number of milliseconds to leave on the end of phrases,
either press <ENTER> to accept the default (100 milliseconds) or enter a new
number, then press <ENTER>.
These new silence settings are only valid for the currently open phrase file in the current
session. Once you exit V-Edit or open a new phrase file, the settings revert to the original
defaults (100 milliseconds).
To remove leading and trailing silence from a group of phrases:
1. Open the phrase file from which you want to remove leading and trailing silence, if it is
not already open.
2. From the Main menu, press <A> to start Auto Edit.
3. When prompted to enter the starting phrase number, either press <ENTER> to
accept the default (the first phrase in the file) or enter the number of the phrase at
which you want to begin removing silence, then press <ENTER>.
