To Clear a Hot Key assignment, hold E RASE and press the H OT K EY . (This does not
erase the file.)
Using Hot Keys To Compare Audio Versions
Since Hot Keys are operational while editing audio, it is possible to compare the original
version of a File with an edited one. To do this, assign the File to a HOT KEY before editing. As
work progresses, the
HOT KEY
can be used to play the unedited version of the file.
Programming A Hot Key To Play Clipboard Contents
It is often important to know what audio is present in the Editor’s “clipboard”. The
user may have forgotten what the last C
UT
or C
OPY
operation was; or wish to compare the
clipboard with other audio to help in decision making.
Shortcut solves these problems by allowing the changing contents of the clipboard to be
assigned to a Hot Key. Pressing the Hot Key will then play the clipboard at any time,
auditioning its audio as editing progresses.
To make this assignment, a File named _ CLIPBOARD must first exist in the Files listing.
To inspect for this, press the F
ILES
key and see if it is there. (_
CLIPBOARD
is always at the
bottom of the Files list.) If it is not present, create a _clipboard file by Editing any file and
performing a C
OPY operation. Exit the Editor.
Assigning the _ CLIPBOARD to a Hot Key is done as a normal Copy to Hot Key
operation:
•
Go to the File select level (F
ILES key)
•
Select the _
CLIPBOARD
File.
•
Hold
COPY and press a H OT K EY .
The H OT K EY will now reflect the changing contents of the clipboard. As long as the
_ CLIPBOARD file is never erased and the Hot Key is not reassigned, the clipboard contents will
be played by the assigned H OT K EY .
THE FIND COMMAND
The F
IND
command will locate a File by title within a specific Directory, without the need
to scroll through a lengthy list. Alternately, the F IND command can position the Cursor at a
specific time point within a File.
