MACKIE HDR24/96 - Manual (Page 103)

HDR 24/96
You can use other tools while the display is magnified with the Z key. It’s handy for accurately
locating an area selection boundary with the I-Beam Tool.
Cursor Location Display
This time display tracks the Current Time location of the cursor
pointer, regardless of the current tool type. It is a display function
only.
Clipboard Editing
Cut, copy and paste editing operations are performed through the Clipboard. The HDR24/96
clipboard follows the conventions common to word processors and other computer-based editing
tools. The editing clipboard buffer holds the result of a single cut or copy operation (which can
include multiple selected items).
The cut or copied section remains on the clipboard until replaced by the next cut/copy operation. For
example, if two region Copy operations are performed successively, only the second selection copied
remains on the clipboard, with the first copied selection going into the bit bucket to make room for
the second. As long as a copy remains on the clipboard, it may be pasted any number of times and to
any location.
Each cut and paste operation is entered on the History list and can therefore be undone. This edit list
(which can become quite long in an active session) is retained only as long as the Project file is open.
Just a reminder: Copying and pasting are Playlist manipulations. The edits are really just instructions
to play the original recording at a different time, so
extensive use of pasting and repeating does not take up
extra disk space.
Clipboard Editing is performed in the GUI
from the Edit Buttons in the Tools Panel.
The front panel and Remote 48 support limited
clipboard editing accessed from the Track
button.
Cut
Cut removes the current selection (on one or multiple tracks) from the track area and places it on
the clipboard. You can cut either an area selection made with the I-Beam tool (on one or multiple
tracks) or a complete region selected with the Hand tool. Cut works contiguously across empty
track space in the selected area – i.e. un-recorded sections within the selected area are placed on
the clipboard along with recorded audio in the selected area. If pasted elsewhere, the pasted
section will include the blank spaces. Cut is also an edit operation affected by the status of the
Splice Mode explained in the next section.
Cut works contiguously across empty track space in the selected area – that is, unrecorded
sections within the selected area are placed on the clipboard along with recorded audio in the
selected area. If pasted elsewhere, the pasted section will include the blank spaces.

• Click the CUT button on the GUI Tools panel.
