Edit Menu Operations
Edit Menu functions of DigiCart II Plus are non-destructive and can be undone or changed at any
time. These are basic editing tools that allow you to change the playback of a recorded cut by
placing pointers (markers) in the file. Pointers are stored as part of a cut and remain active until
changed or removed. Edit Menu features include:
HEAD (TRIM) FADE IN OUTPUT GAIN
TAIL (TRIM) FADE OUT PRE-ROLL
Most Edit Menu functions are time-based. By adjusting HEAD and TAIL trim, you determine the
total playing time of a cut. Audio gain will ramp up or down according to the times selected for
FADE IN and FADE OUT. PRE-ROLL is provided so you can preview TAIL trim and FADE
OUT edits without having to play an entire cut. Pre-roll sets the length of time that a cut will play
just prior to a TAIL trim or FADE OUT when auditioning selected values.
Times are displayed in HH:MM:SS:FF.BB (Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Frames, and SMPTE Bits).
The selected unit of measure is shown in the display in brackets, for example <F> for Frames.
Use the Left and Right POSITION buttons to select units.
Output Gain is the only Edit Menu function that is not time based. The Output Gain for each cut is
adjustable over a 96 dB range. The scroll rate for Output Gain may be selected for decibels or
tenths of a decibel.
You can use the Copy Edited cut feature in the Utility Menu to create a new cut that contains only
the audio material between the HEAD and TAIL pointers. By deleting the original cut, you then
free up recording time on a drive by eliminating the audio material that is no longer needed.
