Insert a Cut Or Copy Segment
The Insert operation transfers audio from the clipboard memory to a new location
defined by the Edit In and Edit Out marks. There are two ways to use the Insert function:
Insert at a Single Point and Insert Replace.
Insert at a Single Point
•
Set the E
DIT
I
N
and E
DIT
O
UT
marks at the same location.
•
Press I NSERT .
Because the Edit marks are at the same location, the Insert command will open up a space
and insert the new audio between the marks. It will not overwrite existing audio. Material
previously occupying this space will be shifted later in time, and the File will increase in length
as a result. "Insert" is similar to the "paste" command used in word processors.
Insert Replace
•
Set the E DIT I N and E DIT O UT marks to surround material to be replaced. A
highlighted region will appear between the marks.
•
Press I NSERT .
The highlighted region will be deleted first
∗
, and the material from clipboard memory will
then be inserted in that region. Inserted material can of course be shorter, the same length or
longer than the replaced region. In every case an Insert without gaps or overlaps will result,
and the total File length may be shorter, the same, or longer.
Crossfade Edits
Crossfade allows smooth transitions of variable length to occur between edited audio
segments. This can be useful for smoothing edits, or for creative effects. It is analogous to
mixing between the output of two tape machines while recording on a third. Crossfade can be
applied to either Cut or Insert operations.
The Crossfade Time is set in the Edit Menu, Item 6 CROSSFADE : 00.01 (OFF). When
you select it and press E
NTER
(or press H
OTKEY
6 to select it directly) the Crossfade Value /
Enable screen is displayed.

The deleted material is not placed on the clipboard and may be permanently lost unless the operation is Undone
or a copy exists in another file. See page 11 for information about recovering deleted material by renaming the
Edit file before saving over the original File.
