Off-line Editing Operations
The TCR provides a suite of functions for editing the contents of a file. The following editing
operations are available:
• Erase
ERASE wipes any audio from a marked area and replaces it with silence.
• Copy
COPY makes a copy of a marked portion of audio in another file, for subsequent transfer to
another destination.
• Cut
CUT removes a marked portion of audio and transfers it to another file, for possible use in a
subsequent edit operation. After the Cut operation, the surrounding audio joins together,
creating a continuous file.
• Paste
PASTE overwrites audio in the current file with audio from another location.
• Insert
INSERT inserts audio from another file into the current file.
All editing operations in the TCR are accomplished by defining a region of audio with Edit-In and
Edit-Out. Once a region is defined, it is then possible to perform editing operations such as Cut,
Copy, Erase, Insert, etc.
Erase Edit-In through Edit-Out
[Transport Screen] | MENU | Erase Edit In Thru Out
Erase Edit-In through Edit-Out will erase a segment of the current file defined by the Edit-In and
Edit-Out points. Once erased, the segment is replaced by silence, as illustrated below.

The run time of the audio in a file is not normally reduced by an Erase operation. If the following
conditions are met then the run time of the file will be reduced from the head end of the file.
1. The Head point of the file must be between the Edit-In and Edit-Out points.
2. The Edit-In point must be earlier on the timeline than the start of the audio in the file.
