Where Editing Takes Place
You’ll edit tracks on the VS-2480’s Home screen—see Chapter 8—or on the wave
display, described on Page 238. Each screen offers a different view of a project’s audio.
The Wave Display
The wave display is a companion to the Home screen’s playlist and can be opened
whenever the Home screen is visible.
To open and close the wave display:
1. Press HOME•DISPLAY.
2. Press WAVE DISPLAY—the button lights and the wave display fills the bottom of
the screen, with the upper part of the Home screen and its F buttons still visible.
3. To close the wave display, press WAVE DISPLAY again—its light turns off and the
lower portion of the Home screen reappears.
The wave display provides a highly magnified view of a track’s audio in which you can
often literally see the audio event you’re looking for. The waveform in the display is the
track’s audio interpreted in graph form. The graph’s vertical axis represents volume, or
“amplitude.” Its horizontal axis represents project time.
Here’s how to get around on the wave display.
If you select audio on one of a pair of linked tracks, the audio on the other linked track
is also selected.
Press STOP before opening or closing the wave display. The WAVE DISPLAY button is
disabled when a project is playing.
