Using Head and Tail Trim
You can perform precise Head and Tail Trims on an existing file or immediately after recording a
new cut. Head trim is a means of chopping off some content at the start of the cut. Usually, this is
used to remove unwanted sound at the start of the cut to provide a smooth sounding cut.
Tail Trim performs the identical function, but at the end of the cut.
Head and Tail trim can be performed in one of two ways.
1. By manually entering a trim time.
2. By playing the cut and marking the trim points as it plays.
Head and Tail trims can be as short as a tenth of a second. Head and Tail Trims can be as long as the
cut, as long as the two trim points do not overlap.
Setting the Head Trim
Head trim can be performed in one of two ways.
1. If “Prompt for Head/Tail” is ENABLED in the RECORD SETUP, you will be automatically
prompted to enter head trim after a new recording is created.
2. Select an existing cut in the display module then press :
MENU->EDIT->SET HEAD TRIM.
The only difference between the two methods is that after a new recording you will be prompted to
enter both a head and tail trim.
The Head Trim editor display looks like this. The display is in Hours, Minutes, seconds and
hundredths of a second.
00:00:00.00 HEAD
ENTER/ADJUST OR PLAY
Hit ENTER to leave head trim unchanged. The Head Trim is set 00:00:00.00, which is no trim.
Or…Type in the amount of time you want to trim off the head of the cut using the alphanumeric
keypad. The value is in hours, minutes, seconds and hundredths of a second. Use the < and > keys to
move forward and backwards if necessary. Hit ENTER once you have entered the Head trim delay
you want.
