the selection area. Regions on individual tracks may be selected afterwards. See Track and
Region Editing Tools for the details.
A single-click-and-release on the Time bar, using any one of the tools, repositions the
Transport to that clicked-on time. The Current Time indicator bar will move to the point
where you clicked and the new time will appear in the main transport time display.
Right-clicking on the Time / Marker bar pops up a shortcut menu with choices that include
time units display, loop selection and snap-to options. All of these functions have been
described elsewhere.
Marker Bar and Markers
The Marker Bar contains drag-able icons for Cues and LOC points that serve as jump-to
points in a Playlist. Markers for Cues may be re-labeled, while LOC markers, since they
have dedicated functions, have fixed labels. Dragging any marker will update the time field
relevant to that marker. See the sections on
Cue List , Punch, Loop, and Recording
Operations for more details.
Song Offset
When the HDR24/96 is set to display in BBT, the Song Offset can be used to slide the entire time
bar horizontally so that playback coincides with Bar 1. This does not affect anything other than
the time display in the Time Bar, and has no effect when the transport position is displayed in
SMPTE time.
To adjust the Song Offset, open the Setup Window (Windows | Setup or [C TRL +1]) and
select Locator-MMC. The value displayed in the Song Offset window can be adjusted by click-
and-dragging on the number fields, clicking and entering a number from the keyboard, or
transferring the Current Time into the window by holding the [C
TRL ] key and clicking in the Song
Offset window.
NEAT TRICK: To set the beginning of the song to BBT 1:1:000, position the Current Time to
the first beat of the song, then [C
TRL +click] in the Song Offset window.
Track Area
The track area, where all the audio action is, has three separate work areas. At the left is the Track
Controls area, the center section contain the graphical display of recorded tracks, virtual takes, and
Regions . The right section, which can be opened or closed, depending on what you want to see at the
moment, contains the List Panel (see page 32).
Track Area Scrolling Conventions
The vertical and horizontal scroll bars that frame the track area are standard GUI tools. Scroll
thumb buttons (resembling console fader knobs) appear along the scroll bar whenever the track
screen is expanded so that there are more tracks than are visible on the screen. Click and drag
these buttons to bring another group of tracks or regions into view.
Small + and - buttons at the lower right corner of the track area (one pair on each axis) adjust the
horizontal and vertical magnification of the track area. They duplicate the larger arrow buttons at
the left edge of the Time/Marker bar.
Track View Controls
The Zoom Arrows at the left end of the time bar are used for adjusting the
horizontal and vertical scale of the track view.
