Or… Hit the PLAY key to begin playing the cut. Hit ENTER or STOP to pause playback. Hit

Setting the Tail Trim
Tail 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 tail trim after a new recording is created.
2. By selecting a cut in the display module, and Selecting TAIL TRIM from the EDIT menu.
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.
Setting the Pre-Roll before Setting the Tail Trim
Before Entering the Tail Trim time, you may want to set the Pre-Roll. This sets the length of time
counting backward from the end of the file that the cut will begin playing if you want to set Tail Trim
in real-time mode. Pre-Roll is useful on longer cuts, because you can start playback a few seconds
before the end instead of listening to the entire cut to mark your tail trim point.
To set the Pre-Roll, Type EDIT->SET TAIL PRE-ROLL. The pre-roll defaults to 5 Seconds. If this
is ok, you can skip this step. Otherwise, set it to any value that is less than the length of the cut.
SET TAIL – PRE-ROLL
5 SEC
If you prefer a different default pre-roll, you can edit the default pre-roll setting under:
CONFIGURE->TAIL PRE-ROLL
SET PRE-ROLL
5 SEC
This will change the initial pre-roll setting on all unedited cuts to the new default.
Now Set the Tail Trim
To set the Tail-Trim, Type MENU->EDIT->SET TAIL TRIM. The Tail Trim editor display looks
like this. The counter indicates the current length of the cut.
