EDIT

EDIT MODE

Editing on the DPS24 is simple and non-destructive. You simply mark an IN/OUT region and subject that region to

editing. It is possible to edit multiple tracks. When editing, you are not altering the actual audio data - instead, you are

simply changing pointers to that audio thus editing is quick as you are not physically copying/removing/moving

actual audio data around. Neither are you clogging up your hard disk with duplicate audio data.

In order to edit a track, you should press EDIT and then select the track(s) you want to edit. You will see something

like this screen:

The selected track’s (or tracks’) waveform is shown in the upper half of the display in relation to the NOW time and

you can also use the overview in the lower portion of the display to reference the edit in context with other tracks.

Also shown are the IN and OUT times and the IN>NOW length. These are shown as timecode or as Bars.Beats.Clock

(B.B.C.) depending on the selection made by the DISPLAY SELECT key.

Although a maximum of two tracks of waveform display can be shown in the EDIT page, you can actually edit any

number of tracks. Other tracks’ waveforms may be viewed using the cursor up/down keys to ‘scroll’ through the

tracks - i.e. with tracks 1 and 2 shown, pressing CURSOR DOWN would show tracks 2 and 3, pressing CURSOR

DOWN again would show Tracks 3 and 4, etc.

However, you can select the tracks you want to view more directly by pressing SHIFT+EDIT SELECT. In this way,

you can view any combination of two tracks (for example, tracks 7 and 12). It also allows you to edit one track but

view another. For example, you may be editing Track 3 but need to use track 14 as a reference - select Track 3 for edit

and use SHIFT+EDIT TRACK 3 and 14 to view the two tracks on the LCD.
