HDR 24/96
You’ve probably guessed it by now, but we’ll say it anyway.
You can’t undo one operation in the middle of the History List
and leave the others below it intact.
If you’ve cut out something from a region that you want to
restore, but you’ve performed some other editing operations
after that Cut, remember that the audio is still there – just resize
the region and you can bring back the missing material.
History List and Playlist Relationships
The History List and the Playlist are kissin’ cousins. The
Playlist represents the current state of recording and editing
operations at the time you save the Playlist (or the Project). If
you’ve performed a series of edits that you like, but you want to
continue to experiment with some other approaches, save the
Playlist with a new name. Now you can do some more editing.
Your Playlist, now saved to a new name will still have the same
History List. You can save another version as another Playlist
later and so forth.
Save a Playlist when you’ve recorded your basic tracks and
before you start editing. Name it “Basic Tracks” or something
similar. That way, you can easily get back to the proverbial
Square One if you want to start over.
The History List itself is not saved with the Playlist or the
Project. It only exists as a working list as long as the current
Playlist is open. When you open a previously saved Playlist or
Project, all of your edits will still be there, but the History List
will be empty except for the standard Top Level entry.
History List Caveats:
• The History List is only active for the current Playlist
while you’re in the process of building it. Once another
Playlist or Project is opened, the History List is purged .
. . it's history, so to speak.
• After moving back in the History list, performing a new edit or recording pass removes
any undone “grayed out” operations from the list and starts adding the new edits to the
History List from that point. Those undone operations can no longer be redone.
• Multiple tracks recorded in a single pass are entered on the History List as one Recording
Pass. If you want to delete the rhythm guitar but keep the scratch vocal that was recorded
in the same pass but on a different track, don’t undo the Recording Pass, just delete the
rhythm guitar Region.
• If the last entry in the History List is a Recording Pass and you back up to any previous
entry, you’ll get a warning on the screen asking if you want to delete the audio, and
reminding you that you can’t undo that operation. Clicking “Yes” in the dialog box will
undo the recording itself as well as the edits.
This is functionally equivalent to pressing the DELETE LAST button on the front panel
or remote or using the keyboard shortcut [C
TRL +z] after you've completed a recording
