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.

This screen allows the adjustment of the Crossfade Duration with the S CRUB W HEEL or
the A RROW K EYS . The S CRUB W HEEL adjusts by .05 second intervals until the value is over 1
second, causing it to adjust in .1 second intervals. The A RROW K EYS allow adjustment in .01
second increments. Pressing the S PACE B AR while in this screen turns Crossfade ON and OFF.
While in the Editor, Crossfade can be turned on and off by pressing E NTER . When
Crossfade is on, the Crossfade Time is displayed in the top line of the display where the file
name is normally shown.
When Crossfade is off, it can be used on an individual Cut or Insert operation by holding
A LT while pressing C UT or I NSERT . Insert Hotkey with Crossfade and Cut to Hotkey with
Crossfade must be performed with Crossfade turned on in the normal way.
Crossfades create new recorded material on the disk equal to their length. Crossfades can
be undone with the U NDO key, however there is no way to undo them after that. It is strongly
recommended that you make copies of original files before editing them. It takes almost
no disk space, and you will have all the original material available if you need it.
∗ 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 10 for information about recovering deleted material by renaming the Edit file before saving
over the original File.
