19—Phrase Editing Operations
This chapter describes the phrase-based editing operations you can perform in the
VS-2400CD. Most of the operations can be performed using a mouse or the edit
commands presented in the TRACK menu. Some can be performed only from the
TRACK menu. We’ll list the way(s) each operation can be performed.
Chapter 18, “Editing Tracks,” explains:
• important editing concepts you need to know—see Page 231.
• all about the FROM and TO edit points—see Page 232.
• how to edit using a mouse—see Page 238.
• how to edit from the TRACK menu—see Page 245.
COPY
Use: Mouse, TRACK menu
Phrase COPY makes a copy of each selected phrase and pastes the copy
at the desired location. You can copy a phrase 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 Phrase COPY
You can use COPY to build a track from a short musical segment such as a drum
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—perfectly performed chorus background vocals, for example. You
can also create a safety copy of a phrase on a spare V-Track before editing the original.
Edit Points
• FROM —sets the location of the phrase’s time anchor.
• TO —sets the time location at which you want to paste the time anchor.
Times
This sets the number of copies to be pasted, one after another, at the TO point.
You can find step-by-step editing instructions in the Step-by-Step Instruction Finder
that starts on Page 21.
When copying or moving phrases, or creating a new phrase, don’t mix project
recording modes. If your project uses a recording mode other than CDR, and you’ve
recorded mastering tracks (Page 332) in CDR mode, their phrases can’t be used on
other project V-Tracks. Likewise, non-CDR phrases can’t be used on CDR-recorded
V-Tracks. If you attempt either action, the VS-2400CD displays “Found Illegal Track
Pair!” Press ENTER/YES. You can easily spot CDR-recorded tracks—see Page 333.
The TRACK menu’s phrase COPY operation lets you copy phrases to V-Tracks that
aren’t currently selected.
