Chapter 5: Editing Applications
Sometimes your song is too short and you would like to add 2 additional verses after verse # 2. The
INSERT command will allow you to insert blank space into your recording at the correct location.
First choose which track or tracks to insert blank time into. The VS-880EX will let you specify the location
to insert the time and also the length of time to insert (for more - see the VS-880EX Owner’s Manual,
Chapter 6).
