3. Look at the screen and you will see a Start
time and End time (you will not see an End
time if you have chosen Paste as the edit
function). These numbers signify the time
range to perform the edit between. The
Start time is where you want the edit to
begin and the End time is where you want
the edit to end. First, enter the end time by
moving the transport to the desired position by using the transport
buttons. When you see the desired End time on the time display, press the
End select button. Now position the transport to the desired Start time
and press the Start select button.
4. Press the Edit select button to perform the operation.
There are five edit operations on the MDR24/96. Three are different ways to place
audio onto the clipboard, and two are different ways to return audio from the
clipboard to the selected track(s).
Cut
Access the Cut command by first
pressing the TRACK/EDIT button,
then pressing the Cut select button,
and then choosing Cut when you are
ready to perform the operation. Cut
removes the audio between the Start
and End points on the selected
tracks and places it onto the clipboard. In its place on the original track will be
blank space, silence. Use the Cut command if you want to remove a section from a
track because you don’t like it or because you want to move it someplace else. Cut
should be used if you would like everything else on the track to remain in the same
position.
Join
Access the Join command by first pressing TRACK/EDIT, then pressing the Cut
select button, and then choosing Join when you are ready to perform the operation.
Join is similar to Cut in that it removes the selected audio from the track and
places it onto the clipboard. The difference is that a blank space is not left behind.
Instead, any data on the selected tracks following the edit selection will be slid
back in time to join with the audio preceding the edit selection. This is analogous
to removing a section of analog tape and splicing the ends back together; the cut
section is thrown out and the remaining tape will now reach the play head earlier
in time. The difference is that this can be done with just the selected tracks as
opposed to all 24 tracks as is the case with analog tape. The Join command is
useful for removing a section of silence from a live set or to fix phasing problems
between two microphones on the same source by removing a very small amount at
the beginning of one of the tracks.
