20—Region Editing Operations
This chapter explains the editing operations you can perform on project regions. Since
region editing operations work on a chunk of time within a track, you can think of them
as track editing operations—some of them do, in fact, affect an entire track.
You can perform most region operations using an optional mouse (Page 66) or the edit
commands presented in the TRACK menu. Some are available only in the TRACK
menu. We’ll list how each operation can be performed in its description.
Chapter 18, “Editing Tracks,” explains:
• important editing concepts you need to know—see Page 235.
• all about the FROM and TO edit points—see Page 236.
•how to edit using a mouse—see Page 242.
•how to edit from the TRACK menu—see Page 249.
About Tracks Recorded with the CDR Recording Mode
COPY
Use: Mouse, TRACK menu
With region COPY, you can copy an audio region in a selected track
and paste the copy at a new location. You can copy a region to a new
time location and/or to another track. You can copy it to a currently
selected V-Track, or to a V-Track that isn’t currently selected.
Why You’d Use Region COPY
You can use COPY to build a track from a short musical segment such as a rhythm
pattern. By pasting the pattern end-to-end the desired number of times, you can create
a seamless drum loop. COPY also allows you re-use performances that occur multiple
times in a project, such as perfectly performed chorus background vocals. You can also
create a safety copy of a track’s audio on a spare V-Track before editing the original.
You can find step-by-step editing instructions in the Step-by-Step Instruction Finder
that starts on Page 21.
If you’ve recorded mastering tracks (Page 356) using CDR mode, their audio can’t be
used on other project V-Tracks. Likewise, non-CDR audio can’t be used on CDR-
recorded mastering tracks. If you attempt either action, the VS-2000 displays “Found
Illegal Track Pair!” and the operation will not proceed. Press ENTER/YES to resume
editing. You can easily spot CDR-recorded tracks by their appearance—see Page 357.
The TRACK menu’s region COPY operation lets you copy phrases to V-Tracks that
aren’t currently selected.
