360 Systems DigiCart/EX - Manual (Page 67)

H EAD
Head determines the point in a recorded file where playback begins when the
PLAY
button is
pressed. DigiCart/EX has a minimum length of two seconds for any cut. It is not possible to use
HEAD trim to further reduce this length. Since tight HEAD trims are usually more important than
TAIL trims, always perform the HEAD trim first, and then trim the TAIL if cut length permits.
In addition to its function as an editing tool, Head Trim allows auditioning of any part of a file by
selecting the desired start time. Pressing
EXIT
when done restores any programmed Head Trim value
or 00:00:00:00.

T AIL
TAIL determines the point in the selected cut where play ends. DigiCart/EX limits audio files to a
minimum length of two seconds. Therefore, the Tail point cannot be set earlier than two seconds
after the Head point.
When setting a new Tail point in a cut that contains a programmed Fade In and/or Fade Out,
DigiCart/EX will not allow the Tail pointer to be set to less than the combined total of Fade In and
Fade Out times.
