Abandoning Edit Operations
Occasionally the user will no sooner have pressed some edit key than he will realize this
was a mistake. Certain edit operations can be abandoned: CUT, COPY, INSERT and ERASE. When
one of these keys is pressed, and before it is released, simultaneously press EXIT or STOP. This
is equivalent to the edit key never having been pressed in the first place; it works because these
keys act when released, not when depressed.
If any of these four edit keys has already been released, pressing EXIT or STOP will have
no effect. In this case, use the UNDO key.
Bleep File Segment
Offensive words within a recording may be censored (bleeped out) by overwriting with a
Bleep tone or silence.
To Bleep a File in Edit Mode
• Use the EDIT IN and EDIT OUT keys to highlight the offending segment;
• Press BLEEP. The Bleep tone (or silence) will be inserted in place of the highlighted
audio.
A Bleep tone is always non-destructive and may be Undone at any time.
To Set the Bleep Output Level
The level of the Bleep signal can be set to 0 DB, -6 DB, -12 DB, -24 DB or SILENT.
This is a Directory Preference setting, so each Directory can have it’s own value.
• You must be in the Files Display of, or Editing a file within the desired Directory.
• Press MENU
• Select item 5 DIRECTORY PREFS and press ENTER
or
Press the 5 KEY.
• Select item 6 BLEEP LEVEL and press ENTER
or
Press the 6 KEY.
• Select the desired value using the ARROW KEYS or THE SCRUB WHEEL.
• Press ENTER to confirm the choice.
• Press STOP to return to the Files Display or the Editor.
The Bleep Level is not recorded in files, it is a setting that is used when the Bleep is
produced. Therefore the level of all existing occurrences of Bleep in files in the current
Directory will change to the new setting.
To Bleep a File in the Play or Record Mode
• Hold down the BLEEP key for the desired duration.
A 1,000 Hz tone or silence can be selected in the DIRECTORY PREFS menu. Further
information on Bleep is presented in the Miscellaneous Operations chapter.
