Here are some ways in which you can use these editing
commands.
1 Erase unwanted regions
You can use the ERASE command to erase just a specific
region of a specific track. For example, this provides a
convenient way to erase a few wrong notes from a perfor-
mance, or to eliminate noise that occurred while an instru-
ment was not playing.
B Change the structure of the tracks
You can use the EXCHANGE command to exchange an
entire track with another track. By using this command
you can bring tracks of widely separated track numbers
closer to each other for easier operation during mixdown.
You can use the COPY or MOVE commands to copy/
move the specified region of a track to a different track.
This is convenient when you have recorded a solo part
among two or more virtual tracks, and want to assemble
the best parts into a single track.
C Change the structure of the song
You can use the DELETE or COPY commands to delete/
copy entire tracks, changing the structure of the song
itself. Even after all parts of the song have been recorded,
you can use this method to adjust the length of the song,
for example by shortening the number of measures or
increasing the number of choruses.
D Create special effects
You can also use editing commands to create special
effects. For example, you can copy a guitar or vocal solo
part to another track and use the PITCH CHANGE com-
mand to slightly detune one of these tracks, creating a
chorus effect without using the internal effect processor.
By applying the PITCH CHANGE command to a drum
track to lower the pitch, you can create a unique lo-fi
effect.
Here is the basic procedure for using a track editing command. The procedure is essentially the
same for all track editing commands.

pressing the Work Navigate section [EDIT]
