2000

360 Systems’ new Short/cut 2000 Editor uses

modern hard disk technology to replace earlier

analog and digital tape machines.  Its advanced

feature set is designed for rapid operation in

broadcasting and other professional audio settings. 

Intuitive Operation

Short/cut 2000’s operating controls

combine the best features of tape machines

and popular word processors. The result

is an intuitive audio recorder/editor that

helps creative professionals work quickly,

with almost no training.

Short/cut’s dedicated buttons make the

difference. Its hands-on approach to editing

provides excellent control of the editing

process, and is easier to use than computer-

based systems.

The weighted jog wheel provides an

outstanding simulation of tape reel

“scrub” editing, while a large waveform

display assists with critical editing

decisions. One-handed editing is easy,

thanks to Short/cut’s unique grouping of

edit-function keys.

Advanced Digital Editing

Short/cut 2000’s new operating system

precisely edits every kind of program

material. Editing features include Cut,

Copy, Insert, Erase, Fade in and out,

Cross-fade, Level change, and many single-

track operations.

Best of all, the new Short/cut 2000 is fast.

New file conversion utilities also let

Short/cut 2000 interface with most DAWs.

It can read and write WAV, BWF, SD-2 and

AIFF file formats on both PC and Mac

®

disks. And to archive finished work,an

external Zip* drive can be connected at the

rear panel.

Organized Storage 

The Short/cut 2000 is more than just an

editor. Storing 12 hours of stereo audio, it

keeps important clips on-line and ready to

play. And locating a single cut among 1,000

is easy. Just scroll through directories with

the wheel, or simply type a name on the

built-in keyboard for instant access. To

help organize recordings, Short/cut provides

ten directories, each with password-

protection, so many users can share a

single machine.

Instant Replay

®

Hot-Keys

Fast access to edited clips is a key part of

Short/cut’s design for broadcasting. Its

Hot-Keys can immediately play up to ten

stored audio segments—perfect for on-air

playback of news and phone calls. The

Hot Keys also make convenient clipboard

memories when editing.

A Broadcast Original

Since 1996, more broadcasters have chosen

360 Systems’ Short/cut than any other

desktop editor. For complete specifications
