Preview
The VS-2400CD’s Preview feature plays a few moments of
the project just before and/or after the now line’s current
position. This can be handy when you’re trying to find the
precise time at which a recorded event occurs when you’re
placing locators (Page 179) or markers (Page 182). You can
set the preview length as described on the next page.
There are three PREVIEW functions. Press:
• PREVIEW TO —to play a few moments of the project
leading up to the now line’s current position.
• PREVIEW FROM —to play a few moments of the project
starting at the current position of the now line.
• PREVIEW TO and PREVIEW FROM —to play a few
moments leading up to the now line, on through to a few
moments after the now line. This is called “PREVIEW
THRU.”
Pinpointing an Event with the PREVIEW Buttons
1. Position the now line in the general area of the event you want to pinpoint, noting
its position in the current time location display.
2. Press PREVIEW TO to see if the preview reaches the event or plays right through it.
3. If PREVIEW TO doesn’t reach the event, move the now line forward in time slightly.
If it plays through the event, move the now line back a little.
4. Press PREVIEW TO again.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until the preview ends just at the beginning of the event.
6. Note the now line’s current position and press PREVIEW FROM.
7. Make sure that none of the event is being chopped off at the front, and that as soon
as you hit PREVIEW FROM, you hear the event.
8. Adjust the now line’s position as necessary, checking it with PREVIEW FROM.
9. When you’re satisfied that you have the now line positioned at the moment at
which the event occurs, place a locator or a marker so that you can easily return to
the event as you need to.
Setting the PREVIEW TO and FROM Times
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F4•UTILITY.
2. If “PlyRec” isn’t displayed above F4, press PAGE until it is.
3. Press F4 (PlyRec).
4. Press F2 (Param2).
5. Set PREVIEW TO LENGTH and PREVIEW FROM LENGTH to the desired times,
in tenths of a second, from 1.0 sec to 10.0 sec.
6. Press F6 (EXIT) to confirm your changes.
In the above instructions, we used both PREVIEW TO and FROM. You may not always
need to use both to find the location you’re looking for.
