CHAPTER IV

EDITING

Editing is the process of identifying a passage of audio and then performing an operation

such as Cut, Copy, Insert or Erase. In the Shortcut Editor, the present location in the audio

waveform is shown by the vertical CURSOR bar. The CURSOR moves across the waveform in the

play mode, showing the audio being heard. The CURSOR may also be positioned with the SCRUB

WHEEL during editing operations.

Marks called Edit In and Edit Out are placed on the audio waveform to identify a passage

for an editing operation. These Edit Marks appear as triangular segments at the top of the

waveform. The ARM buttons determine which track(s) edit operations will affect. Note that

the Edit In and Edit Out marks are different from Locate Marks.

EDIT OPERATIONS

The Edit screen displays the File title, the time at the present CURSOR position, Edit

Marks that may have been placed, and the audio waveform starting at the head of the File.

The user may select a File for editing as follows:

1. Go to the DIRECTORY menu, highlight a directory selection, and press ENTER or

FILES.

2. In the FILES display, highlight a File name.

3. Press ENTER or EDIT IN to load the File for editing.

The audio being played, together with the waveform display, provide the cues needed to

find edit points. A variety of editing tools move the Cursor through the audio program and

assist in actually performing the edits. When editing, the display has the following features:
