Track Editing

The MDR24/96 features non-destructive Cut, Copy, and Paste editing.

Edit operations are performed on an "Area" defined by the range of time

between the Start and End points on selected track(s).  Edit operations

are remembered in a 999-level History List so that every edit can be undone

and redone.

To perform an edit:

1. First press the

Track/Edit

 button,

then the button of

the desired edit

operation. The

Record Ready

LEDs change to indicate

which Tracks are selected.

2. Press the Record Ready button(s)

corresponding to the Track(s) you

wish to edit.

3.  Press the Start and End buttons to

define the range of time you wish to

edit.  You can set the Start and End

points in any Transport State.

4.  Press the desired edit button.  You

cannot execute edit operations

while the Transport is moving.

5.  After the edit operation, the Record Ready buttons and LEDs return

to their previous state.

Cut / Join

Cut cuts a "hole" in the selected Area

and copies the Area to the

Clipboard. Join performs a Cut and

then slides everything that occurs

after the End point forward in time to

fill the "gap" left buy the Cut, exactly

like splicing two ends of tape

together.

Copy

Copy copies the selected Area to the

Clipboard, but leaves the Project

unaffected.

Paste / Insert

Paste copies the contents of the

Clipboard Area into the Project

starting at the Start point and first

selected track. All audio in the

Clipboard replaces any existing

audio, and any blank space in the

Clipboard leaves existing audio

unaffected. Insert splits the affected Area at the Start point and slides the

audio back in time to make a "hole" for the Clipboard. If the clipboard Area
