About track editing
One of the most useful features of a disk-based recorder such as the DP-01 is
the ability to edit material easily. When working with a stereo tape recorder in
the past, editing was not an easy process, and was very difficult to undo if there
were any mistakes, and multi-track editing was nearly impossible!
The DP-01 allows you to edit songs, copying and moving material from one
part of a song to another. This editing is known as non-destructive editing,
meaning that the operation does not actually destroy data, and you can undo
mistaken editing operations easily.
You can undo
these editing op-
erations described here (see “Un-
doing operations” on page 50).
Even if you delete all the material
on every track using these func-
tions, you can still get it back with
only a few key-presses.
If you have ever used a word-processor on a computer, you will probably find
most of the DP-01’s editing operations pretty simple. If you have never used a
computer, the DP-01’s editing operations are nothing to be scared about—just
read through this section to see how it all works.
IN, OUT and TO
We have previously seen how the IN and OUT points can be used for punch-
ing and for location. They are also used in these track editing operations,
together with the TO point.
… The IN point marks the start of the part of the track which is selected
when editing a part of a track (rather than a whole track).
… The OUT point marks the end of the part of the track which is
selected when editing part of a track.
… The TO point marks the final destination of a copy or a move opera-
tion.
Using edit mode
1 Make sure that the DP-01 is stopped (not playing back or record-
ing).
2 Press the TRACK EDIT key (beside the wheel).
3 Use the wheel to move the / cursor to the track editing function you
will be using and press the y key.
4 Select the appropriate values, as described for each individual
function.
5 Press YES to perform the operation, or NO to exit without perform-
ing the operation.
