1. The beginning of a range of audio to be operated on by an edit operation;
2. The insertion point of new audio;
3. The start point of an Insert Record operation.
Edit Out
The E
DIT
O
UT
button places the Edit Out Mark above the current Cursor position on the
waveform. When the Edit In and Edit Out marks have been placed at different points, the
waveform between them will appear highlighted.
Cut
The Cut function removes highlighted audio between the Edit In and Edit Out marks, and
transfers it to a clipboard memory for possible use in a subsequent Insert operation. After the
Cut operation, the surrounding audio joins together, creating a continuous file.
Cut can also be used with a Crossfade. This causes the material at the Cut point to be
overlapped by the specified Crossfade Time, and then a smooth transition is created between
the overlapped sections. See the section on Editing for more details.
Copy
The Copy function makes a copy of a marked portion of audio, for subsequent transfer
to another destination. Unlike Cut, it does not remove the audio, and the running time of the file
remains the same.

OT
K
EY
. The display warns you if another file is already
assigned to the Hot Key; press E
NTER
to reassign the key.
•
When used in the Directory Select display, C
OPY
will call a menu that allows
you to copy all files in a directory to another directory.
Insert
The Insert function inserts the current clipboard contents (from a Cut or Copy
operation) at the location of the Edit In mark.
•
Placing the Edit Out mark at the same point results in a simple insertion, moving
all material after the marked point later in time, directly after the end of the
inserted material.
•
Placing Edit Out at a different point permits Insert to overwrite a defined range,
replacing existing material. Unless the operation is Undone, this material is
permanently erased from the file being edited. It will still exist in any copies of
the file. If the file has not been saved since the edit, perform a Save As (A
LT
+
S
AVE
) to preserve your edits in a new file and then get the replaced material from
the file you were originally editing.
Insert can also be used in conjunction with Crossfade. See additional information in the
chapter on Editing.
