Virtual Track and Copy Segment
The Marantz Professional PMD660 is the first solid state
recorder to incorporate new file editing features like Virtual
Track and Copy Segment. Designed with the field reporter in
mind, they provide a host of quick and easy to use ways of
locating and accessing segments of audio that everyone can
utilize.
Virtual Track
Virtual Track allows you to set an In point and an Out point
within a file (or across multiple files of the same RecFormat
and RecChannel) for later, immediate access. Files marked
as Virtual Tracks are stored in the PMD660 and can be
accessed quickly by entering the PMD660 in Virtual Playback
mode.
See Page 30, Creating a Virtual Track.
See Page 32, Entering Virtual Track Playback mode.
Note:
Because Virtual Tracks are really just location information
stored on the card, creating Virtual Tracks requires
pratically no memory on your card reserving valuable space
for actual recorded material.
Copy Segment
Copy Segment operates exactly like Virtual Track except,
instead of storing In and Out points for immediate playback
access, Copy Segment physically turns your “highlighted”
section into a new and separate file, without destroying the
original source file(s).
See Page 31, Using Copy Segment to create a new file.
Virtual Track Edit mode
In addition, Virtual Playback mode has an edit menu that
allows you to turn one Virtual Track into a new file, all Virtual
Tracks into new files, erase a Virtual Track, and erase all
Virtual Tracks.
See Page 33, Virtual Track EDIT mode.
